About Me
italki teacher since Oct 13, 2020InterestsMusicFoodTravel
Hello everyone! I'm a native German and Swiss German speaker from Switzerland. Languages and music are my biggest passions, as they are very intertwined. The most exciting part about being a touring DJ is getting to travel to different countries. Whenever I arrive to my hotel room, I love watching TV in local languages to understand more about the sounds, language, and native culture around me.
Me as a Teacher
I can draw from my own experience of learning a language from scratch. I'm very patient and attentive, and I know exactly how it feels to learn a language - with all the success and the frustration that comes with it. While challenging, learning is always rewarding, and I'm excited to share my experiences with you.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons will be customized to meet your needs. For me, it's important to have fun. Part of that includes breaking down the typical hierarchy and formal learning structure, to make learning a language more comfortable and relaxed. From here, your natural abilities will take shape...the sky is the limit!
Personally, I love sounds and phonetics, and this will be an important part of my teaching methodology to give you a competitive edge over the rest.5.0

Tali is the best teacher for learning Swiss German or Zürich German. She always considers her students' needs and strives to fulfill them. Since I only want to improve my Zürich German listening comprehension for now, I speak High German while she speaks Zürich German in our lessons. She covers various topics, letting me hear Zürich German in many contexts. If I don’t understand something, she explains it in High German or English if needed. She also corrects my High German grammar and pronunciation.
This method not only helps with Zürich German listening comprehension but also improves my High German. I’m impressed by how smoothly she switches between High German and Zürich German, making our lessons highly effective. Although I only practice listening, I can imagine she'd be really good at teaching me speaking, judging by how well she explains the nuances and sounds of Swiss German.
Anyone wanting to learn Swiss German will not regret taking lessons with her. Highly recommended!

Tali is a fabulous teacher. She excels at engaging conversation, and provides feedback on vocabulary and grammar in a positive way. I’ve enjoyed working with her over the past two years, and my German conversational skills have improved greatly with consistent lessons. Highly recommended for the student needing conversation practice, wanting to learn about German and Swiss cultures, and build vocabulary.

By now there are many classes I have taken with Tali, and I am really happy to have met her.
Talking with her is very easy and spontaneous despite the fact that German is a difficult language to speak. Seeing her always smiling puts you in a good mood and encourages you to try despite the difficulties. Tali always manages to put you at ease and helps you a lot when you are struggling with the language. In addition to all this, she is very pleasant to talk to and you can have interesting conversations each time and get good advice.
Thank you very much Tali for your patience and work! It will be a long way to learn German but surely with you the road will be more interesting and easier!
