"With German through the Year" is a perpetual language calendar without specific weekdays, which can be flipped at mid-year, making it reusable every year. The fundamental educational concept can be summarized under the term "edutainment": the calendar is not intended to systematically teach the language but to entertain in the target language, as diverse engagement with the target language enhances the learning process. For course instructors, the calendar provides a daily "hook" for lessons. Each day features a keyword: some of these keywords have a specific connection to that day, others relate to the month or season, and some could apply to any day of the year. Alongside the keyword, there are key grammar points and an explanatory text regarding the meaning or the cultural or historical connotations of the keyword.
