I feel very lucky to have found Marlena on Italki for my German lessons! She is very knowledgable about the language, and the fact that she is so experienced in learning foreign languages gives her a great understanding of how to approach a target language. Most importantly for me, Marlena is very open and easy to talk to. I have been taking lessons five times per week for more than a month now, and Marlena continues to have topics for us to talk about so that I am always practising speaking while learning new vocabulary and new grammar concepts as they come up. I really feel that I've progressed so much with her! I highly recommend Marlena as a language teacher :) Merci Marlena! J'apprécie énormément nos leçons ensemble et j'ai l'impression de faire du progrès chaque jour. Ich bin dir sehr dankbar Marlena! :)

Having mastered German as an adult, Marlena has a high degree of grammatical competence that the average native speaker may lack. With this advantageous perspective, Marlena can concisely answer questions regarding both how and why. Anecdotally, I feel much more confident using Konjuntiv II since our lesson on the topic. Also, the exercises she provided me with helped me solidify my knowledge on my own time. While many students may believe the optimal language tutor to be a native speaker, my experience learning German with Marlena has indicated the exact opposite. Ich würde sie als Lehrerin gerne empfehlen:)

彼女はきちんと考えてくれます

Marlena como profesora es francamente recomendable. Ella es atenta, inteligente y muy motivadora. Se adapta y preocupa enormemente por los intereses del alumno, tiene una actitud positiva y no hay duda que ama enseñar. Su apoyo incluso sobrepasa el tiempo de las clases, ella ha sido muy flexible, y si no fuera por su incondicional apoyo, yo no hubiera podido retomar mis clases de chino on-line. Gracias Marlena!

Wow Marlena ist eine fantastische Lehrerin. Ich kann sie sehr empfehlen! Die Konversationen mit Marlena sind immer super interessant und sie hilft mir unglaublich mit meiner Grammatik. Ich freue mich immer auf unsere nächste Stunde.

たくさん話して、 聞いてくれる。
