About Me
italki teacher since May 16, 2016InterestsArtMedical & HealthcareSports & FitnessMarketingReading
You want to speak German clearly and make real progress, but traditional lessons often feel overwhelming or like endless homework. I teach in a calm, structured way using short stories, simple explanations, and focused vocabulary, so everything feels natural and easy to follow.
In each lesson, you read a story, understand it step by step, and build only the vocab you truly need. This keeps you moving forward without stress or confusion.
If you want a slot, please book early.
Avoid slow progress and frustrating methods. Learn German in a way that actually works and helps you reach your goals – whether that’s studying in Germany, improving your career, or speaking confidently with family.Me as a Teacher

◾ Learn grammar and new words in small steps
I give you episodes of the learning story I created. PDFs and audio files. Each teaches you a few new words and a little piece of grammar in an entertaining way.
◾ Long-term vocabulary study
You get access to an app with my private vocabulary course. You'll find the words and phrases from our lessons there, adapted for easy learning. And I review them with you at the beginning of each class so you know how to actually use them.
◾ Flexibility
You can bring up your own ideas and materials. We can use books, dialogs, podcasts, online exercises, for example.
◾ Homework
I prepare homework for you, based on your needs.

Chris uses conversations and stories he wrote. The stories are available in pdfs together with relevant vocabulary, notes about the usage of words in colloquial context and some tips. They structured to be approached regardless of the language and they get progressively more difficult.
He has also a podcast based on the storie which can help to improve listening skills .
