Native German Speaker | Experienced with Chinese Students I am a native speaker of German with lifelong interests in other cultures, histories, and languages — especially literary Chinese (文言文). I hope I can help people here almost as much as I myself have been helped. Over the years, I have taught students of many different levels — from complete beginners to advanced learners — including Chinese students and native speakers preparing for their Abitur (Germany) or Matura (Austria) exams. These exams are vaguely comparable to the Chinese 高考 or British A-Levels. In my classes, I try to go beyond mere memorisation and help students develop a natural understanding of the language. Many grammatical rules make far more sense once one understands the distinctions they express in everyday speech. This is also the reason for my nickname, MrSemantic. I teach German with a clear standard accent (Hochdeutsch) and on a high formal level that can serve students well in professional and academic contexts. At the same time, I am very happy to adapt lessons to each student’s personal interests and needs. When I am not here teaching you or recording audio to guide you through the jungle of pronunciation, I enjoy bird photography, vigorous exercise, and far too much reading.

陆迪先生,讲课很好,找很多相关的材料给我们学习。特别是发音这一块,老师给我严格区分了ä, e, a, i 。这些发音还搭配了表格。

I really enjoy the conversation lessons with this teacher. He always comes well prepared with a list of interesting topics and is very patient when correcting our sentences. I especially appreciate that he explains different ways of expressing the same idea and points out the subtle differences in meaning and usage. He also spends a lot of time after each lesson summarizing the conversation and providing us with the scripts, which is extremely helpful for reviewing and learning afterwards. He even goes the extra mile to help us correct our written German outside of the lessons. I really appreciate how much time and care he puts into helping us improve. I’m very happy to have found such a patient, thoughtful, and dedicated teacher. If you want to improve your German skills while actually enjoying the learning process, I highly recommend his lessons!

He's a very qualified teacher. He really knows the complexity of the German grammar and is prepared even to help you achieve a great level for any important German Test. He's also very friendly and patient. Thank you very much, Mr. Semantic.
