I am Armin and I love languages. Throughout my whole life I have been learning many languages, for instance Japanese, which I have taught to beginners and intermediate students at so called Folk High School (VHS) in Germany during my studies in linguistics. I have been living in Japan for a brief period of time in 2005. Today, I am working as a programmer and AI-designer. I am a native German with academia level language skills (scientific publications). I love to travel, to write poems and stories, to present and to act as an amateur actor. I believe, we are all story tellers.Me as a Teacher
As a polyglot, I would like to help you develop methods to leverage the knowledge of all of your languages and dialects in learning German. Of course it is perfectly fine, if you are monolingual. Professionally, in language teaching, I own a certificate for language teaching to adults specializing among other things in teaching writing systems. Here, as a teacher, I intend to develop materials and routines which will help you most achieve your goals in learning German. We will identify those linguistic structures in German together, which are most alien to you given your possibly multilingual background. It is those structures which are usually hardest to learn. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons will include example conversations, real conversations, quizzes and questions, texts on cultural specialties, videos and digital media, exercises, homework and more. Since learning vocabulary is one of the hardest things in learning languages, but also one of the things which take you furthest, we might explore together strategies of how to most effectively learn vocabulary including individually designed flashcards.My teaching material

Der Lehrer hat eine Website für diesen Kurs gemacht. Heute lerne ich deutsche Wortpräfixe und vergleiche sie mit Englisch. Das ist sehr verständlich. Das ist richtig gut gemacht. Das würde ich jedem empfehlen.
