" [Our daughter] can't wait to resume her German education and is delighted that it will once again include you!  We, her parents, feel blessed that she'll have another opportunity with such a positive and inspiring teacher as yourself.  Even though we have never met in person we all feel like we know you, with the comfortable familiarity of a longtime friend.  Your class, and your German stories and experiences, have become part of our dinner time conversation and discussions.  They have brought us many smiles and much food for thought over the  past year."
