Hi, I’m Franziska—a German nomad with a heart full of wanderlust and a passion for bridging cultures through language. Born and raised in Germany, I carry the essence of German traditions, humor, and daily life in my bones. But my story took a vibrant turn when I spent nearly 7 years living, studying, and working in Australia. There, I soaked up the sun, the slang (fair dinkum!), and the laid-back Aussie way of life, becoming a cultural insider in both worlds. For me, language isn’t just grammar and vocabulary—it’s the secret handshake to unlocking deeper connections, whether you’re ordering a *Kaffee* in Berlin or cracking jokes over Vegemite toast in Sydney.Me as a Teacher
I believe learning should be fun. I´m not a professional teacher but over the years I learned a lot and had plenty of time to perfect my trade. I taught German and English for fun (sometimes, in Myanmar, for example, also for cookies...) and professionally on italki. Additionally I completed a 6 months online TEFL (teaching English as a foreign language) training. So if the fun way is the way you like to learn - contact me, I´m looking forward to meeting you!My lessons & teaching style
I want you to reach the goals you´ve set for yourself and individualize every lesson to your needs. If you need to improve your reading and/or listening skills, for example, I can offer you reading material and audio files that will support you in doing so. In my lessons I will predominantly use the target language with you, so if you want to learn German, we´ll talk, write and learn in German, if it´s English, English, of course.
To me it is very important to get a feel for the language you want to learn and I believe learning by doing is the best approach. To keep it fun - tell me what topics are interesting to you and we´ll chat about that!My teaching material

An hour talking to Franziska is like eating good chocolate. It is such a good experience, you are left with a warm feeling, and you always want more after. Thanks so much for your patience and good humor - sehr beeindruckend!! :)

Danke schön, Franziska! Ich war sehr besorgt, da dies mein erstes Gespräch auf Deutsch war. Sie sind eine sehr interessante Gesprächspartnerin! Jetzt möchte ich mein Sprechen noch mehr üben!

I'm somewhere around the B1 level of German. I wanted to improve my active German communication skills (speaking/writing) and generally start to speak more confidently with natives. I shared my goals with the teacher and she understood them immediately and well. Fixing/correcting my mistakes and problems in real time, but at the same time the conversation is relaxed and on very different topics (which are interesting to me). I will definitely take more lessons with this teacher. Highly recommended if you want to improve your German! Relaxed, patient, patient, professional.
