Polyglot & linguist passionate about language learning Hi, I'm Elina, a polyglot & linguist fluent in 5 languages. I'm here to help you learn a language efficiently from day 1! My two mother tongues are German and Russian, I have a master's degree in foreign language linguistics with a specialisation in French and English and experience in academic teaching and I learned Italian on my own. I have many interests which I'm happy to share with you and am keen on learning new things, so feel free to talk about whatever you're most passionate about! I believe that a language is learned through speaking and through the right kind of authentic input. We'll be speaking in your target language from day 1, starting with simple conversations and slowly building your vocabulary and grammar knowledge. I'll also motivate you and help you improve your language self-study, so you'll be able to find the right kind of material and input that will benefit you the most. If your mother tongue is one of my 5 languages, as a linguist I'll be able to make an error analysis and explain why you make certain mistakes and how to correct them. Most importantly: language learning is fun! so we'll explore different topics and materials depending on your goals. In our lessons we'll focus on speaking and will build vocabulary and grammar along the way. I explain grammar clearly and like to put it into practice immediately. I'll also share tips and tricks from my own language learning journey and encourage you to explore what works best for you.

Tolle Unterrichtsstunden. Der Lehrer hält den Gesprächsfluss mühelos aufrecht und stellt leitende Fragen. Er korrigiert behutsam und gibt Empfehlungen. Genau das, was man für die Sprachpraxis braucht.

Elina ist eine wahre Polyglotte und Linguistin. Ich fühle mich sehr wohl, wenn ich mit ihr spreche, denn sie kennt sich sehr gut damit aus. Ich habe weder Angst noch Sprachbarriere, weil sie Russisch kann. Wir führen interessante Gespräche, die ganz natürlich verlaufen – genau das, was ich mir von einer iTalki -Stunde erwarte. Elina korrigiert mich immer, wenn ich den Fehler mache, regt mich so zum Sprechen auf sehr freundliche Weise an. Der Unterricht macht außerdem viel Spaß. Und was mir sehr wichtig ist: Elina kann problemlos alles erklären. Der Unterricht ist sehr produktiv.

Elina ist eine sehr angenehme Lehrerin, mit der man gerne lernen kann. Sie beherrscht die Sprache ausgezeichnet und wir reden viel während der Stunden, was den Unterricht sehr lebendig macht. Dabei erklärt sie den Stoff immer klar und verständlich. Die Stunden sind interessant, und man langweilt sich bei ihr nie.

Die Konversationsstunden sind immer locker und angenehm. Man kann ganz entspannt sprechen, ohne Angst vor Fehlern zu haben. So macht Deutschlernen Spaß und ich fühle mich beim Sprechen immer sicherer.

I just had my first lesson with Elina, and it was wonderful. She clearly knows a lot about languages and German in particular and she made me feel really comfortable speaking. Our conversation struck the perfect balance between allowing me to speak freely and providing enough corrections so that I didn't feel overwhelmed. I have already booked my next lesson with her next week.
