About Me
italki teacher since Sep 23, 2022
My name is Laust Walther and I am from Denmark.
I am a big language lover and that is why I wanted to teach as well. I speak three languages (Danish, English, and Spanish) and my dream is to go to China and learn Chinese one day.
My big passion has always been to play football/soccer and do other sports. Then I play the guitar and sometimes go to the gym. Right now I am currently living in Medellín, Colombia, where I will stay until June. I fell in love with South America when I lived in Paraguay for a year back in 2018. So I am super happy to be back on the continent and getting to know the Colombian culture while I keep up my Spanish.
Me as a Teacher
I am a very patient person and understand well from my own experience, that it takes a lot of effort and time to learn a new language. I will make sure that my student understands the topic well and I find it find very important that the student is not afraid to ask any questions. The classroom atmosphere will therefore be relaxed, accepting, fun, and productive.
I also find it very important to always have a positive mindset. Especially when teaching.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons will depend on whether you are a complete beginner or maybe already able to hold a conversation. I will try to meet the needs of each student. The lessons are relaxed and informal, and I will have interesting conversation topics to get you to speak as much as possible. We will focus a lot on reading and pronunciation if you are a beginner, as it can be really difficult.

I was lucky to find such a talented Danish conversation teacher. I really appreciate how well the lessons are planned and all the active feedback to keep expanding my vocabulary. Laust is a great teacher and makes it all look effortless!

I have been having lessons with Laust for almost six months now and I can only confirm how great of a teacher he is. He combines his own lesson plan of things to talk about or useful expressions/vocabulary with a grammar book. We increasingly use Danish as a language for communication at the beginning of the class, balancing between natural conversation, cultural notes and useful phrases. Afterwards, we continue with some grammar but always very applied, either through questions, exercises or texts. We also read aloud a lot so my pronunciation is corrected. Laust prioritizes the ability to use a certain expression in conversation over memorizing a theory behind it. This has been great for me as I can see the improvements week after week. As a plus, Laust encourages me to use Danish in my daily life, either at the supermarket or in language exchanges, always motivating me to use my new learned skills in real situations. Overall a great teacher that I hope I can keep learning with.

Laust is a very patient and encouraging teacher. I am a complete beginner and he came well prepared with material at my level. He facilitated a lot of speaking and pronunciation practice which was very useful. I will definitely be back for more lessons. :)
