This is a chance for us to get to know each and for me to find out more about your goals, interests and level, so I can create great lessons for you. If you are a complete beginner, you will also learn your first phrases to get you started.

I offer different types of conversation classes because everyone has different needs. Whether you want to feel more confident in everyday conversations, expand your vocabulary, discuss interesting topics, or simply become more fluent, we’ll find the right format for you. In our first lesson or trial lesson, we’ll talk about your goals and find out what kind of conversation practice works best for you.

Build confidence: Have relaxed, meaningful conversations that help you feel more comfortable speaking German.

Talk about what interests you: Discuss your passions and favourite topics from art, literature and science to everyday life, while naturally expanding your vocabulary.

Explore interesting topics: We can work with videos, articles, stories and opinion pieces that give you something substantial to discuss and help you express your ideas in German.

Practise real-life situations: Prepare for situations such as making appointments, going to the doctor, dealing with everyday bureaucracy or communicating with other people. We’ll work on useful language and strategies to help you handle these situations with confidence.

 Just talk: If you simply want to improve your fluency, we can have relaxed conversations about everyday life without any preparation or homework.

The goal is simple: to help you speak more freely, naturally and confidently in German.

General German – Structured & Personalised Lessons (beginner - C1)

Discover German through the ideas, stories, traditions and everyday realities that shape life in German-speaking countries. These lessons are for learners who want to go beyond grammar and vocabulary and have meaningful conversations about Germany and its culture while developing their German.

Traditions & everyday life: Explore German customs, celebrations and everyday habits, and the language people actually use when talking about them.

History & society: Discuss topics such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, Bauhaus, sustainability and other developments that have shaped Germany.

Regional Germany: Discover how food, language, traditions and everyday life differ across Germany’s regions.

Arts & media: Explore German literature, films, music and other forms of creative expression while developing your vocabulary and ability to discuss ideas.

Cultural conversations: Share your own experiences and perspectives, compare them with German-speaking cultures, and practise expressing more complex ideas in German.

These lessons are not lectures about German culture. They are conversations that use culture as a way to explore the German language and understand Germany from different perspectives.
