Learn Swedish in a fun and creative way with Language Parenting!
About Me
italki teacher since Aug 8, 2022
Hej,
my name is Himani and I'm a Swedish native speaker. I am also a passionate language learner myself and one year ago I came across the language learning method called "language parenting".
This method proved to be really effective for myself, so I decided to start teaching using this method as well.
When I don´t teach I also work as a professional opera singer.
Me as a Teacher
I have been an online teacher for approximately one year.
I am a positive and encouraging person and nothing motivates me more than seeing my students improve.
I have seen my students go from not speaking Swedish at all to being able to have a conversation in the new language in as little as 6 months. It thrills and amazes me every time!
I always try to speak Swedish as much as possible and if the student doesn´t understand me I use body language and description. I only translate to another language if it´s necessary.
I am fluent in Swedish, English and German and I also speak some Hindi.
My lessons & teaching style
I use a methodology called "Language Parenting".
This is an effective and fun method that is easy to adjust for all different levels of speaking.
You can be an absolute beginner or have several years of experience learning the language.
In Language Parenting, we use pictures and describe what we see, then we ask each other yes- and no-questions and then increase to more complex questions.
When the student is more advanced I also use storytelling as a method.
When the student feel ready, we also practice conversation skills and talk about different subjects.
You will get homework at the end of every lesson, usually a video to watch and some questions belonging to the video to answer.

Himani is such a wonderful teacher! I'm a very slow learner, but I feel like I've made so much progress with her!

If you need to build vocabulary and grind confidence with the language, Himani is the teacher for you. She has helped me a lot in a few short lessons with vocabulary, pronunciation, and confidence.

Himani använder bild för att lära ut svenska. Jag tycker att det är en mycket användbar metod för både nybörare och mer avancerade elever. Jag har lärt mig många nya ord på kort tid.
Jag rekommenderar hennes lektioner!

Himani is an excellent teacher! She's very patient and encouraging, and she has a great way of explaining everything in Swedish so that I can understand it without having to resort to English. I enjoyed the lesson very much!
