Address on Eurythmy

One can also see that one gives the child something in this visible language of eurythmy, in which the child immerses itself with the same natural satisfaction as it did in its younger years when it was taught spoken language or singing. It is definitely something in which one feels how the human organism lives as if in its own element. You can see this in children who take eurythmy lessons at school. And you can see that when eurythmy is introduced to the child in the right way, the child perceives it as something that is as appropriate to the human being as spoken language itself. This makes eurythmy an excellent educational and teaching tool, and it is fair to say that The extent to which eurythmy aids language teaching, for example, is truly astonishing, as demonstrated by the corresponding teaching successes achieved in this area. And it is precisely those teachers who deal with languages who must emphasize again and again that they gain enormously from eurythmy in their use of language in the classroom.
