    German (also for foreigners) as tutoring and language practice

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    German: even if it is your mother tongue, some rules have to be learned first. But it's worth it, because your language becomes richer and you can express yourself better and better.

    If German is your foreign language, I will also help you to get to know and internalize the various rules.

    In both cases, we start by looking at where you stand, where you have some catching up to do and where I see the focus. We'll talk a lot, because language practice is the best way to learn. I attach great importance to correct pronunciation, which is especially important for foreigners / non-native speakers.
    We can vary the topics so that you can learn something besides the language.

    About Me

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    Welcome to my profile!
    It's great that you (optionally you) are interested in one of my courses! Now I would like to give you a first impression of who you are dealing with.
    I have lived in Berlin for many years, but when I was 51 I also lived abroad.

    From childhood I have been fascinated by other countries and cultures and since then I have been exploring them through studies and practice (travel, private and business contacts). I am happy if I can bring you closer to a country, a people or a region of your choice. We first determine what, how and how much you would most like to learn, then I set up the concept and off you go. Be it you want to deepen or follow up on a school subject, would like to prepare for a trip or an assignment abroad or are simply curious to learn more about a country that you have never heard of or that you actually believed to know everything.

    The German language also inspires me in its expressiveness, richness and diversity. Did you know that we can still understand German writings from the Middle Ages even today? Even some of our dialects have made it into written language and deserve to be used and represented.

    Questions are always welcome at this point and also in class! Looking forward to hearing from you!

    German - very good school grades and professional writing practice in your main job
    The diversity of the world is reflected in its states and peoples. Anyone who meets their representatives, for example while traveling, in the context of business contacts or as an emigrant, will sooner or later come across differences in behavior and experience. My course helps to prepare oneself to cushion the "culture shock" and to get along successfully with the other culture (the people or society or their individual members) in the long term. Through my many trips and professional practice, I was able to gain a lot of experience here, which I round off with my study knowledge and gladly pass on. The focus areas are Europe and Asia, but I can also mediate other regions.

    Kevin
    Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
    I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.

    German Class for Beginners/Intermmediate/ Advanced
    German? About 40% of German and English vocabulary are very similar to each other, which makes German one of the easiest languages to learn for native English speakers. So, basically, if you already know English, it should be a piece of cake for you to learn German. Why German? Science and Research: German is the second most commonly used scientific language. Cultural understanding: Learning German provides you with an insight into the way of life, and the hopes and dreams of people in German speaking countries, broadening your horizon.

Vocabulary is taught through our conversations and in word groups. - A1-B2 exam preparation (according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages): based on practice material by the Goethe Institute, innumerous websites and own material - Learning by conversation: you can’t stand looking at too much grammar because it’s just not for you? The answer: talk and type! We’ll share a document with all our dialogues. - Refresher training: I can help you get back on track by letting you talk as much as possible. We can also go through grammar and conversation topics that you need to revise. The day of getting rid of pesky repetitive mistakes has come! You are lucky since brushing up on your German with me will be fun! - Children: they can be the most demanding students regarding learning methods, but I know how to capture their attention and make them excited for more German!

    Individually tailored German and English Lessons with native speaker
    Hi! My name is Sophie I am 26 years old and originally from Cologne, Germany. Currently I am studying at the Politecnico di Milano. I have been lucky to study abroad for my University education in the Netherlands and Italy. When learning new languages the most important part for me has been practising together with native speakers. Often the most important factor for mastering a new language is confidence. I can help you reach this confidence by practising English or German in a relaxed setting. And don't worry I also speak Italian so when really necessary I can also explain things in Italian.
