Hi there! My name is David Allen (爱伦), I'm from San Diego, California but I grew up speaking both English and German and for over 10 years now I have been living and working in Germany as a German/English teacher and technical translator. I moved to Germany after I finished my university degree in German and Linguistics and I have since lived in Göttingen, Hamburg, Hanover, Heidelberg, and Berlin. I absolutely love it here, as Germany has a lot to offer in terms of nature, culture and a rich linguistic history. I have also lived and taught German and English in both Spain (Santander and Valladolid) and China (Beijing), and getting to know people and their languages is my passion in life!Che tipo di insegnante sono
Do you want to express yourself better in conversation and sound more authentic in German? I specialize in helping you to improve your speaking and pronunciation of German based on special exercises I design specifically for YOUR native language background (i.e. German for Chinese speakers, German for Spanish speakers, etc). My particular area of expertise is in phonetics and phonology, so I can help you to master the difficult sounds of German so that you feel more confident when you are speaking. However, I can help you with any aspect of your German that you would like to improve, including preparing you to take formal examinations like the DSH, the TestDaF and the Goethe Institut exams.Le mie lezioni e il mio metodo di insegnamento
I put great emphasis on communication and entertainment in my lessons, and I'm very passionate about helping you to achieve your German-learning goals as efficiently as possible but with a maximum of FUN! I am happy to adapt to your needs! If you learn German with me, I will show you - among other things - how to utilize YouTube videos to improve your listening comprehension and speaking, how to systematically schedule review sessions so that you remember what you have learned in the long term, how to use Google to check your grammar even when you don't have access to a native speaker, and how to use memory techniques (e.g. a memory palace) to remember the articles (DER, DIE, DAS) in German!Il mio materiale didattico

La scelta dell'insegnante
David is an excellent teacher and I highly recommend him to any German learner. He has tons of helpful tools and techniques to share from his wealth of language experience as both teacher and learner. In addition, his warm demeanor takes the pressure off speaking (even for a beginner like me).
I look forward to continuing learning with David in the future!

Being multi-lingual is one thing, however being able to teach beginner a language in a systematic manner is another. I have booked 20 classes with David right after the trial class with no hesitation. He is an articulate, inspiring and experienced teacher. Extra credit goes to David as he is good at utilizing AI, tools and resources to advance the learning process.

David is truly an amazing German teacher. From the very first lesson, David focused on helping me speak — not just memorize words or grammar rules. His approach is all about unlocking the ability to communicate right away, and it works.
In just a few sessions, I’ve reached a level of speaking that I usually can’t hit even after months of studying other languages. That’s why I really enjoy his method—it’s fast, practical, and confidence-boosting. After 5 lessons, I can tell a story about one of my travel experiences and express a lot without needing to peek at any notes or materials. I was honestly surprised at how much I managed to remember. Also, the topics David suggests for discussion are always tailored to what I’m actually interested in, which makes the lessons even more enjoyable.
I’m excited to continue learning with David and highly recommend David to anyone interested in speaking German and other languages.
