I'm Thomas Inauen, a 38-year-old from Appenzell, Switzerland, now living in Tokyo, Japan. I originally trained as a carpenter, but my passion for martial arts and acrobatics led me to follow this path all the way to Japan. I’ve been practicing Aikido and acrobatics for many years and work independently as an instructor in both fields. Alongside this, I’m also passionate about languages and enjoy helping people learn. I love how mastering new skills opens doors, and I’m here to support you on your journey too.

I can highly recommend Thomas for Swiss German lessons. There are not so many training materials and teachers working in this area (dialekt) and Thomas does it very well - he is patient when I try to practice , stays focused the entire lesson, makes good examples to explain a rule, collects all notes , shares exercises/videos - basically whatever is needed to learn and to progress. Many thanks Thomas for your support and great contribution to make Swiss German much closer to those who struggles to learn it.

Thomas is an outstanding German tutor. He is always engaged and 100% focused during each class. He is easy to talk to and makes learning enjoyable. The notes he shares after every session are meticulously prepared and have significantly helped me improve my language skills.

Thomas' conversational style of teaching, with accompanying notes, is very encouraging and effective. My German speaking and listening skills have noticeably improved after only 2 months of lessons.

I am really enjoying our casual conversations and all the extra links and reading material provided by Thomas. Swiss German doesn't sound so foreign now and I can understand much more than before. Thomas is patient and provides good explanations of new words, now I just need to study more!

Thomas was a very kind teacher. This was my first German conversation trial lesson, and I was very nervous, but Thomas did very well at keeping the conversation moving while providing feedback and notes throughout.
