Wie auch immer, ich wollte dir sagen, daß ich nie ein B1-Niveau in eineinhalb Jahren erreicht haben würde, falls wir uns nicht kennengelernt hätten. Du hast mir immer die Sicherheit gegeben,
daß ich diese wunderbare und doch schwierige Sprache lernen könnte und auch mich motiviert, mir die Sprache selbst beizubringen. Was für einen Unterschied! Jetzt kann ich sowohl über komplexe Themas in einer Zeitung lesen, als auch mit den deutschsprachigen Leuten in ihrer Muttersprache zu reden. Eine echte faszinierende Erfahrung, die ich allen empfehlen kann. Vielen Dank für alles und bis bald! =)

Anna is a great teacher! She prepares for the lessons and tailors the lessons to the student's interests. She teaches you while you are having a good conversation about topics you are both interested in! That makes learning process very pleasant and effective. I like it how she can explain and notice differences between English and German. It helps a lot to understand the German language. In addition, she has a very easily understandable German (Hoch Deutsch?), it not a dialect. So I really recommend Anna if you want a professional and experienced teacher!

Anna was an excellent teacher! Extremely kind, encouraging and utterly helpful when explaining and clarifying. She always made sure I understood everything before moving on. Her reassuring ways make you feel at ease while speaking a second language, thus making it fun and relevant :). She heard my personal requests and took special care of what aspects of Italian I wanted to work on and respected me for my preferences. All in all great teacher and I look forward to learning more with her.
