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 as everyone has different needs. Whether you need help with day to day dialogues or want to really expand your vocabulary in different areas, we will find the right format for you. We will discuss how we can grow your conversation skills and get to know each other in our first lesson or trial lesson.

✧ Boost your confidence: Enjoy fun conversations that help you feel more at ease while speaking German.

✧ Chat about your passions: Engage in discussions about your favourite topics, like art, literature, or science, while expanding your vocabulary.

✧ Well-prepared conversations: Dive into topic-based classes with materials sent beforehand (videos/articles/stories/experience and opinion pieces ...) so you're ready to discuss, ask questions, and share experiences.

✧ Situation based dialogues: whether you need to go to the doctor, make appointments or any real life situations, where you need to speak to other people. I will help you to find the right words and discuss strategies to overcome difficulties.

✧ Casual chats: Improve your fluency through relaxed conversations about daily life without the need for preparatory work.

Conversation practice (B1 - C2)

Zoom is my go-to platform for our lessons because it offers so many helpful features that make our learning experience more enjoyable and interactive.

General German - structured lessons (beginner - C1)

Dive deeper into the German language by exploring the stories, traditions, and creativity that shape German-speaking cultures. These lessons are designed for learners who want more than grammar and vocabulary—who want to connect with the language on a meaningful level.

✧ Understand Traditions and Festivals: From the cozy glow of Christmas markets to the colorful energy of Carnival, explore the customs that bring people together and the words they use to celebrate.

✧ Explore History and Society: Discuss turning points like the fall of the Berlin Wall, the influence of Bauhaus design, or how sustainability is shaping Germany today—all while building your language skills.

✧ Discover Regional Diversity: Germany is more than “Hochdeutsch.” Learn about the unique dialects, food, and lifestyles that make each region distinct.

✧ Engage with Arts and Media: Read texts from German authors, dive into classic films, or uncover the meaning behind song lyrics as you expand your vocabulary and fluency.

✧ Cultural Conversations: Share your own insights and perspectives while discussing German-speaking cultures, creating a lively and personal learning experience.

German Through Culture (B1 - C2)

Moving to a German-speaking country is exciting; but it can also feel overwhelming. These lessons are designed to make that transition smoother, giving you the language you need to feel at home.

 What we’ll do together
- Practice the German you’ll actually need in daily life: shopping, transport, housing, doctor’s visits
- Learn how to handle paperwork and official situations with confidence
- Talk about workplace and social culture so you know what to expect
- Roleplay real situations so you can step into them prepared, not nervous

I focus on you and your situation; whether you’re moving alone, with a family, or for work. Every lesson is tailored, practical, and designed to give you confidence in real conversations. I also bring in cultural tips and insights, so you don’t just learn the words, but also how to use them naturally.

German for Settling in a New Country

I teach German with a focus on tourism and hospitality. After working over 17 years in tourism and business travel, I know what it’s like to deal with guests, answer questions, or explain cultural highlights, and that’s exactly what we’ll practice together in our lessons.

In our first (or trial) lesson, we’ll talk about your goals and what you’d like to improve. From there, we’ll make a plan that really fits your everyday work.

What we’ll do in lessons:
Gain confidence – speak German more naturally in professional situations.
Handle guests in German – learn how to welcome, assist, and manage bookings.
Learn the right vocabulary – focus on words and phrases you’ll actually need in hospitality and tourism.
Practice real situations – role-plays like giving directions, describing sights, or planning trips.
Get cultural tips – understand how to meet German guests’ expectations.
Keep it flexible – whether you want relaxed practice or targeted training, we’ll adapt the lessons to you.
