Learn German with Natural Conversations & Comprehensible Input Hi! I am Dominik, I am a native German speaker from Berlin & have been teaching German informally for a few years now. I teach mostly via simple, comprehensible conversations. I have an interest in language learning, philosophy & history, and I really enjoy meeting new people and talking about interesting topics around culture (but we can speak about pretty much anything that you find interesting). I currently also live in Berlin. Before that, I have spent a few years in London & Damascus. Whenever I have some free time, I try to read a lot of philosophy & literature. I have also studied Arabic & French for some time (but I forgot a lot & need to get back into those at some point). :) I like to teach German through interesting conversations & dialogues. So, instead of going through grammar topics & speaking a lot of English, I will try to stick to mostly speaking German with you and I encourage you to speak and use as much German as possible as well. I might speak more slowly or explain words to you, but I will stick to German and only speak English if it's absolutely necessary. :) I am also by the way very happy to practice specific situations with you (buying a ticket at the train station, having a political discussion). Just let me know what you're looking to practice. I believe that it's important for learners to get used to the language they're learning: I am a big fan of Stephen Krashen's approach to language learning, that is, learning a new language with "compreh...

I really enjoy learning with Dominic. We prepared for the Goethe B1 exam together, and his tips helped a lot. I understood the whole exam structure and felt confident when I was speaking on the exam. And in the end, I passed this exam. Dominic listens carefully and lets me speak a lot. He asks good questions and keeps the conversation relaxed and natural. It’s also easy to joke with him. He doesn’t interrupt, but he corrects important mistakes and writes them in the chat, so I can add them to my Anki cards later.

It is always great to talk to Dominic. He makes sure that our topics are not boring and asks me if I would like to do something else in the next lesson. I appreciate that so much. Thank you for your great lesson! 🙏☺️

I highly recommend Dominic as your German teacher and speaking partner. From the beginning he placed focus on my speaking - asking questions, giving space for my answers and checking-in on how I want to proceed. He is a great listener, very attentive and patient. I immediately felt comfortable and taken care of. Because of this my German was flowing much easier than usual. After just two sessions, I already feel that I´m becoming more confident to speak in German! 
Danke Dominic
