Conversational German - practice your German having fun conversations & become confident

From 25 € /h

You already know some German, but you are shy to speak?
Or you just switch to English or other languages, because it feels just too difficult too explain yourself in German?
I feel you, I have been there too, when learning Spanish and Italian and I can help you overcome this obstacle!
Many reach this point where one gets frustrated, because it seems that you don't really progress any more in learning a new language, you feel just stuck...
But there is a way to get out of it: you need to overcome your hesitation and start talking... a lot.
I will provide you a safe environment, where you can easily start to apply your knowledge and gain confidence in having conversations.
Believe me it makes such a difference :)
Of course I can correct you and help you with a bit of grammar, pronunciation, etc. here and there, but this class is really about you practising to talk and becoming confident.
Feel free to contact me in English, Spanish or Italian (even French, although there my knowledge is quite basic ;) or of course in German if you want.
Looking forward to getting to know you! :)

About Me

My objective is to encourage you to get exited and curious, so that learning becomes fun instead of a "to-do". What are you interested in? I can provide tailor-made classes for any level and will adjust the classes to your personal interests, needs and goals.

I learned English and French "the hard way" in school and if it wasn`t for me travelling a lot and improving my English, I would probably have forgotten a lot, just like it happened with French. But later I learned SPanish and Italian a different way -a bit like small children do: by listening and speaking in a pleasant environment. And I my goal is to provide you this environment and the right stimuli, so that you can learn German without pressure and negative feelings, but instead with joy and having fun.

German is my mothertongue, but I lived in several different places of the world and so I am also fluent in english and spanish and have a moderate level of italian.

As a background i have a PhD in Mountain Environment, an MSc. in Bionics/biomimetics and a BSc. In mechanical engineering and i did a course to become a wholistic health coach.
I am looking forward to get to know you ;)

Please note:
I AM NOT A MEDICAL DOCTOR AND THIS CONTENT IS PURELY INFORMATIONAL.
Changing one`s health through nutrition and lifestyle takes time, patience and dedication, please ask yourself if you are ready to do so.

Learn German your way! Native speaker offers classes that are fun and motivational

32 € /h

Languages are the door to different cultures and perspectives.
I enjoyed this aspect myself a lot and am enthusiastic to share my knowledge with you.
The most important aspect in teaching for me is to make you curious and enthusiastic about learning german. If you have positive feelings associated with the language, learning becomes a pleasure rather than a task!
Thus I will adapt the content to your personal interests, goals and current level.
I have experience teaching german in Bolzano at the "learning center" and in private classes.
We can arrange a talk previously to understand your interests, preferences and goals :)

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

Hello, students! I`m a qualified (MA in German Language and Linguistics) and experienced German and Russian language tutor.
I would be delighted to offer one-to-one German language tuition to determined learners, who are eager to build up their current knowledge or to start from scratch, and who are committed to achieving a certain level in a very short time, from beginner level to extensive.

My professional focus is on improving communication skills using fast-track techniques. The pace of my training is intensive and dynamic with focus on developing grammar, vocabulary, fluency and how to use the language in authentic situations

I select a training program individually for every student depending on their level, interests, and goals.

-Active learning of grammar, an extensive conversation practice.
-Creative tasks that will make language learning fun and interesting. You will quickly improve your pronunciation, grammar, speaking, reading, writing and conversational skills.

If you want to improve your language skills or start studying German, you will definitely like my lessons that are individually tailored for each student according to the level and interest and aimed at your success!
Extra information
German lessons include:

- Proper grammar - tenses, conjugations, cases, genders
- Accurate pronunciation and accent reduction
- Vocabulary expansion/ conversation practice
- Developing oral speech.

But! I can change the lessons plan depending on your wishes and purposes.

The lessons look like usual face-to-face lessons at home. Good sounds and video quality, interactives materials,using the chat box, file transfers, sharing screens/links and giving examples,saving time-all this give better results then usual lessons.
Every russian lesson is good-prepaired and well-structured.

Catherina is without a doubt THE best tutor we know. She is exceptionally committed and is always looking to inspire her students. She has consistently gone above and beyond the call of duty to help our son with his German. She provides excellent study material, engaging homework and follows up to ensure that her students have really grasped the subject matter.

Catharina has been teaching our 11 year old daughter for the past few months and we are very impressed with her excellent progress in this short space of time.
Catharina has developed a very good rapport with our daughter and is patient and knowledgeable. Our daughter always looks forward to her next lesson and even hands in her homework on time! We would highly recommend Catharina to anyone who would like to learn a new language.

Afeisha:
Very professional, friendly and informative. I feel like Catharina will help me to reach where I need to. She doesn't just teach from the book, she teaches in a way that will allow you to blend in with ease. I am excited to learn more from her.

Egle:
Great tutor! Catharina adapts lessons to ones needs, gives very clear explanations and most importantly works on the pronunciation of the language. With every lesson she provides lesson material.

The German language is currently in high demand in the labor market, and Germany accepts scholarships for study or work, so learning the German language has become necessary for anyone who wants to study or work at an advanced level.
The German language is not difficult, but it requires effort, regularity, and follow-up with the teacher, as well as making sure to attend classes with concentration.

My knowledge of languages was very crucial. After my husband's premature death I did replacements but after a while I started giving private language lessons. I spoke French until I was six.

As a tenured professor of Germanic languages and coordinator of educational projects, I don't just "give lessons": I share a method with you. My goal? To give you the tools so that you can quickly progress on your own.

My expertise at your service:

Schooling & Exams: Intensive catch-up or preparation for secondary school exams.

Professional: Meet your business challenges with targeted vocabulary.

Beginners: Start with a solid foundation (grammar, syntax, pronunciation).

My promise: Each session is tailor-made. I never arrive empty-handed. We don't work to "pass," we work to master.

German is often perceived as a complex language, but it is above all a logical and powerful tool for boosting your career or traveling with confidence in Europe. Whether you are a complete beginner or want to refresh your knowledge, I have designed this course as a practical immersion to break down the language barrier.

You will learn to construct correct sentences from the very first lessons, master pronunciation, and understand key grammatical structures without getting bogged down in theory. Together, we will work on real-life scenarios (daily life, professional settings) so that you can express yourself with confidence and fluency.

My name is Daniela. I am half German and half Mexican and lived the past nine years in the Netherlands to study International Relations and Environmental Studies. I truly enjoy traveling, learning new languages, spending time in nature. I have always been passionate about languages and connecting with people from different cultures through them. Spanish and German are my mother tongues. I also speak English fluently and have a good level of Dutch and French. Therefore, I can explain grammatical concepts and vocabulary in these languages too.

I have always enjoyed teaching and participating in language exchanges. I gave private lessons in German to students of secondary and high school for several years. I have a teacher's certificate for Spanish as a foreign language and am pursuing my Master in Language Teaching. I have taught Spanish at different language Institutes for several years and always continued with German lessons too.

I would be happy to help you improve your German, by focusing on your specific objectives as well as preferred way of learning. Personally, I like taking mainly a conversational approach. Practicing speaking and listening tends to be the best way to master a language. Besides this I can also explain the grammar and prepare exercises. For each class I like to focus on a specific topic and introduce a bit of grammar and vocabulary in a dynamic way and that is based on your interests.
