10+ years of teaching experience - offering German and Norwegian conversation lessons *I'll be back in Jan. 2027 đŸ€* I'm Nadine – originally from Germany, based in Norway for 19+ years, teaching Norwegian and German for over a decade. On italki, I offer conversation lessons. We talk: about your day, your work, life in Norway or Germany, things you're curious about – and along the way you pick up natural phrasing, vocabulary, and cultural context that textbooks don't give you. My approach is conversation-first. Grammar comes up when it comes up – I'll catch patterns in the moment ("did you notice you skipped inversion there?") instead of running a fixed curriculum. If you want grammar drills or a written study plan, I'm probably not the right fit. If you want to actually use the language with someone who explains things as they happen, that's exactly what I do. After each lesson you get a list of the new words and phrases from our conversation – your vocabulary, not a generic list. With a lesson package, you also get a personal practice page with quizzes built around the grammar and expressions that came up in your lessons. I adapt to your level. Beginners are welcome too – but you need some basics to build on. Fast-learning A1 speakers and crosstalk (you speak your language, I reply in the target one) both work if you already understand a bit, but can't speak yet. Tell me what you want to work on, and we'll go from there. Outside of teaching, I write, garden, and spend time outdoors. đŸŒ± Curious to hear about your hobbies too! Sees vi? Sehen wir uns? 😊

I’ve taken several sessions with Nadine and here are what I appreciate about her: - Experienced and skilled: expertise in linguistics, a repertoire of pedagogical techniques - Creative: new teaching materials developed for individual learning needs and interests - Encouraging and supportive: recognises learner’s strengths, fortifies confidence in learning, accommodates learner’s requests where possible to facilitate their learning - Sensitive and thoughtful: acute observation of and sensitivity to learner’s needs, interests, and areas for improvement - Self-reflective and adaptive: responsive to feedback, has self-awareness, effectively adapts content and style when needed - Curious, growth-centric: willing to experiment new pedagogical techniques and fields of knowledge, is a lifelong learner of languages These are the aspects of Nadine that I’ve experienced as an ambitious, autonomous learner. I’m sure she exhibits other qualities when working with other types of learners as well.

Es amable y conectamos muy råpido. Entendió qué es lo que busco en la clase. Me preguntó cómo aprendo alemån y también cómo me gustaría que me corrija. Escribe todas las correcciones y palabras nuevas en el chat y eso ayuda muchísimo.

Nadine is a great teacher! She is clearly experienced at language teaching and makes me feel very comfortable. I'm learning Norwegian from scratch with a bit of German practice each lesson and she has been super accommodating about this unusual setup. Thank you, Nadine!

Nadine is a wonderful, patient instructor. She always comes prepared with a lesson plan and activities. Her activities are always thoughtful, helping you produce language with the right level of scaffolds and supports. I take lessons with her in both Norwegian and German, so I can highly recommend her in both languages. She is a great help. Thank you, Nadine! :)

Nella prima lezione Nadine Ăš stata molto gentile, non vedo l'ora di fare la prossima. La lezione Ăš stata svolta soprattutto in Italiano e Norvegese, lei mi ha fatto delle semplici domande e aiutato ad esprimermi. Mi ha scritto le cose piĂč importanti ma anche piccoli consigli. Dopo solo mezz'ora ho giĂ  tante cose in piĂč che possono aiutarmi, posso solo ringraziarla per ora.
