Are there classes out there for younger native speaking kids to improve their English? Now that my son (3.5) is in Kita he speaks English with German grammar structure. He would be bored in a typical learn to speak English class for non-native speakers. He really needs to be around more kids that speak English. I know of people with kids that go to Japanese school and Dutch school. Does such a thing exist for English speakers?

May well be, I don't know of one. The reason is that there are so many English-German nurseries in Berlin, meaning that a special language class in the afternoons/weekends for native speakers just isn't necessary. There must be 20 of them by now, although not all of them have the same degree of commitment to learning English and many have no 'native' English kids at all. A few years back I did hear of people getting a native English-speaking babysitter/nanny in the afternoons to give their kids extra 'practice', usually in preparation for the increasingly strict language tests imposed by the bilingual junior schools.
