Learn German with fun - don't be afraid of mistakes and let's have a good time talking :-) Hi there, I'm Barbara from Munich (Germany). Not only am I a tutor here, but also a student of 5 languages and I really LOVE italki! I studied Psychology and International Business Communication and have been working as a hypnosis coach since 2013. I enjoy cooking (okay, my boyfriend cooks and I eat, haha), dancing (ballroom, Salsa, belly dance) and I sing and play the guitar. We can speak about everything that is of interest for you Language learning should be FUN! I want to help you feel RELAXED and not nervous when speaking German. Since I have many italki teachers myself, I know how important it is, to make the student speak. YES - YOU HAVE TO SPEAK! IN GERMAN! And I promise: It's not as hard as you think! Let's neglect the difficult grammar for a while and you will be surprised how soon you will be able to comunicate! I am very outgoing and friendly and would like to make you laugh - or at least smile! I appreciate that you want to learn German and don't care AT ALL if you say something wrong! Please relax, grab yourself a cup of coffee/tea, lean back, breath in and out and let's start our class! If you are a total beginner, I will send you a list of some vocabulary that you can learn before we meet, so that you don't have to feel unprepaired!

Barbara is a great person to have conversation with. After B2, I wanted to use this platform to improve my listening and speaking capabilities in German. She seemed to be the kind of person who allows you more room to speak and practise at the same time not make it look like an artificial conversation.

Mit Barbara macht die Zusammenarbeit Spaß und läuft reibungslos. Sie hält das Gespräch am Laufen. Aber sie beantwortet auch meine Fragen dazu, wie sich Deutsch vom Englischen unterscheidet.

Barbara solved technical problems so we could hear each other well. That is key to learning to speak, hear and understand.

Je n'ai pas pu faire la leçon à cause d'un problème de réservation sur la plateforme (décalage entre mon heure de reservation et l'heure de reservation du professeur). Ce n'est néanmoins pas la faute du professeur.
