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.

German lessons for confident, natural communicationTranslate this text using Google Translate.

If you want to do more than just study grammar and complete exercises, I can help you use German more naturally, confidently and effectively. My lessons are personalized around your goals. We can focus on fluent conversation, clearer sentence structure, practical grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, professional German or preparation for interviews and work situations. I work in a structured but flexible way: I explain what is important, give you the tools you need, and then we actively use them in conversation so that German becomes easier to access spontaneously. With over two years of teaching experience, I tailor each lesson to the student's level, goals and learning style. Depending on what you need, we can work on speaking more fluently, building stronger grammar and sentence structure, expanding vocabulary, improving pronunciation, preparing for work or interviews, or simply becoming more confident in everyday German. I also teach beginners and guide them step by step through the foundations of German with a strong focus on useful communication from the start. As an Austrian native speaker, I can also help with Austrian German, pronunciation and everyday expressions when relevant. Lessons can be adapted to: - conversation and fluency - business and professional German - job interview preparation - grammar and sentence structure - pronunciation - everyday German - structured beginner learning - Austrian German My aim is simple: you should leave each lesson speaking more confidently, more accurately and more naturally than before.

Möchten Sie Deutsch lernen? If you've always dreamed of saying “Guten Tag” with a mischievous smile, these courses are the perfect opportunity for you to dive into the fascinating world of the German language! 🇩🇪 I can provide academic support for children, as well as individual lessons for professionals or anyone else interested. In Besançon or by video. Usually, I teach a multitude of subjects in alternation, putting priority on the student's wishes. Together we will break through the tangled maze of German grammar brilliantly. 🇩🇪 And to brighten up the lessons, I have a lot of tracks in my repertoire such as humorous poems by J. Ringelnatz or songs. Also, I always find it pleasant to support beginners in their first steps. 🤗📚 My arsenal? An online portal with links and materials that I personalize for each student and a mind map at the beginning to present all the themes I propose. I will send you on request. Some exercises I did myself, often with the help of AI. I can recommend some nifty software and give you incentives so that you can continue learning very effectively yourself. And inspire you to learn the long works of Goethe and Schiller with new vivacity. 💡 My particular passion is German compound words, a real linguistic puzzle! How would you translate Handschuh = "shoe of the hands", Zebrastreifen = "zebra strips", Dachboden = "roof floor" or Friedhof = "court of peace. And for the advances, what is it about with the " Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-Hyperaktivitätssyndrom"? (I will send you answers on request (; ) 🤓🇩🇪 For the curious, what concerns your teacher: Born in Northern Germany and since 2020 in Besançon. Graduate in geography. I have already taught German in various projects in Togo and Kyrgyzstan. I have already taught German in various projects in Togo and Kyrgyzstan. In Besançon, I worked as a German teacher for the "Maison Blanche Formation", a language school for professionals and for the Scops association. 🌍👨‍🏫 Classes can take place in my apartment in downtown Besançon, at the student's home, for a possible travel fee depending on the distance, or by videoconference. And surprise, I also offer tutoring in English or multi-subjects. 🎓💻🗣️ So, ready for an extraordinary linguistic adventure? Johannes, the spell master is waiting for you! Prost (that's "cheers" in German) and see you soon! 🌈👋 Johannes

(Playful) German Lessons for Children | Early Childhood EducationTranslate this text using Google Translate.

Hi! My name is Lara, and I offer playful and engaging German lessons for young children in Barcelona. With my background in early childhood education and practical experience working with young children in childcare settings in Austria, as well as my experience as an au pair in Barcelona, I understand how important it is for children to learn in a warm, supportive and encouraging environment. My lessons are designed especially for children of kindergarten and primary school age. Through games, songs, stories, picture books, creative activities and everyday conversations, children can develop their German language skills naturally while having fun. Depending on each child's age, interests and language level, we can focus on: * Building German vocabulary through play * Speaking and understanding German with confidence * Learning through songs, stories and creative activities * Practising reading, writing and schoolwork for primary school children * Supporting bilingual children who want to improve their German Every child learns differently, so I adapt my lessons to their individual needs, interests and pace. My goal is to help children enjoy learning German, feel confident expressing themselves and develop a positive relationship with the language. I look forward to meeting your family and making German learning a fun experience!

Private German lessons by qualified academicTranslate this text using Google Translate.

Private German lessons by qualified academicTranslate this text using Google Translate.

With a university degree in German language and literature (Master of Arts in German with a specialization in medieval languages and literature) and solid experience, I offer private German lessons for all levels and all age groups. My courses are designed to be adapted to the age, level and specific needs of each individual. They aim to introduce the language, consolidate concepts, fill gaps, and prepare for exams (ECR 8P, compulsory school leaving certificates, entrance exams for gymnasiums, maturity and university exams, Goethe Zertifikat up to B2). Specifics for academic support: Since this is primarily a long-term endeavor, I emphasize methodology by taking the time to "learn how to learn" effectively: every exercise is explained in detail, which may make its execution slower. Quality takes precedence over quantity in order to achieve optimal results over time. Students bring their own course materials (notebooks, textbooks, tablets and/or computers, dictionaries, assessments...). Another important point: in order for my help to be beneficial, it is necessary that the student provides regular personal work between lessons. This essentially involves rereading your notes, repeating exercises similar to those carried out together or even moving forward in learning vocabulary. Specifics for conversation classes: The topics are based on interests and/or specific needs for exam preparation. I attach particular importance to pronunciation, fluency and vocabulary. I usually correct at the end of a conversation exercise with detailed feedback, in order to avoid any blockages and to work on fluency. Depending on the level of the students and/or their expectations (exam preparations/assessments/desire for improvement for example), I work on the choice of appropriate words, grammatical accuracy, the ability to formulate more or less complex sentences. Specifics for exam preparation: The courses offer to acquire solid tools to learn to write, to comment on literary texts and a methodology to work on oral comprehension. The student must bring their own exam preparation brochure, available in all bookstores. For Goethe Institute model exams, the exam books from Cornlesen are particularly suitable. The other alternative would be to download and print before the start of the course a copy of the Goethe Institute exam available on the institute's website. Specifics for listening comprehension: I primarily use audiovisual materials downloaded from the Deutsche Welle website, which offers a variety of recordings suitable for all levels, with a very practical approach. Over time, students not only gain fluency in listening comprehension but also enrich their basic vocabulary through exercises. I also work with the Goethe-Institut's oral tests to familiarize them with spoken language. Specifics for written expression work: I begin by explaining in the first lesson some methodological tools to acquire writing skills. The student has the opportunity to start writing during the course or do a writing exercise on duty and give it to me to correct (send by email or at the beginning of the next lesson). The corrections are explained in detail. In addition, at the time of booking, the student can send me a draft copy before the lesson so that I can meet his needs even more quickly. Besides my presence with the student, every lesson involves preparation time before and after, particularly for the assignments I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the necessary time to write detailed comments in my corrections or offer advice to maximize each student's success. In addition, each student can contact me at any time outside of class by email if necessary. Feel free to contact me for more information, and I look forward to supporting you in your learning. 😊

Hello dear student, My name is Hiba, I worked for years as a German translator, then I worked at a language school in Hamburg. There, I gained valuable experience in the methodology of teaching foreign languages to children and adults. According to my students, learning languages with me is a lot of fun and it makes me very happy because I help my students stay motivated until they reach their goal by simply creating an individual learning program for each student, tailored to their language skills and needs. So far I have met and worked with wonderful students (of different ages) from all over the world. My students are achieving excellent results, which makes me very happy and proud! Students often tell me that they have no knowledge of German or that they have already forgotten what they have learned or that they have to take a language test soon and if I can help them and my answer is: Yes, of course. I work at your pace and according to your needs. Basically, the course covered several areas such as reading, comprehension, and pronunciation. Because I love my job, I support my students via WhatsApp outside of working hours, so I'm available anytime if you have any questions or need help. So don't hesitate to contact me! If you need more information, please write to me and I will be happy to answer your questions. I look forward to having you on my team soon because you deserve the best. See you

Professional One-to-One German Lessons for Everyday Life and Work from A1–C2Translate this text using Google Translate.

Professional One-to-One German Lessons for Everyday Life and Work from A1–C2Translate this text using Google Translate.

Would you like to learn German systematically from the beginning or take your existing German skills to the next level? My one-to-one German lessons are designed around clear learning goals and a structured programme tailored to your individual needs. I have been teaching German as a foreign language for over 25 years and work with adult learners at all levels, from A1 to C2. Individual lessons rather than a standard programme: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At the beginning of the course, I assess your current level of German and discuss your personal and professional goals with you. Based on this, we plan your course and identify the language skills that are most important for you. Depending on your level and objectives, you will learn to: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - speak German confidently and with increasing fluency, - communicate effectively in everyday and professional situations, - systematically expand your vocabulary, - use grammar accurately and appropriately, - understand authentic conversations and more complex texts, - write professional emails and other texts clearly and precisely, - participate actively in meetings and professional discussions from B1 level onwards, and - express complex ideas clearly, precisely and confidently at more advanced levels. At B2, C1 and C2 in particular, learning German is no longer simply about speaking “correctly”. We work on helping you express yourself precisely, confidently and appropriately in different situations, including when discussing complex professional topics. Structured learning with measurable progress: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- To ensure that you develop your German systematically, I work with up-to-date course materials, supplemented by my own teaching materials and interactive exercises. We can also incorporate professional topics and specific communication situations from your own working environment into your lessons. If you would like to continue learning between lessons, I can provide suitable exercises and homework. Corrections are included in your course. I regularly assess and document your progress. If you wish, you can complete each language level with a final assessment and receive a certificate. Lessons that fit around your professional schedule: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Most lessons take place online. Alternatively, one-to-one lessons are available at my office in Munich. You can choose regular weekly appointments or arrange your lessons flexibly – particularly useful if your work schedule, shifts or business travel make it difficult to commit to the same time every week. Each lesson lasts 60 minutes. For steady and sustainable progress, I recommend one or two lessons per week.

“ I recommend Khalil without a doubt to anyone looking to improve his/her German level in both writing and speaking. He is a very professional, structured and knowledgeable teacher. He was able to immediately evaluate my level of German during the very first lesson and adjust the teaching methodology and materials accordingly. I am truly impressed with his patience and dedication towards teaching the proper German pronunciation with all its complexities and difficulties as well as the proper rules when it comes to grammar and language. We also had lessons using Skype which is also a good option for those who have a limited amount of spare time or are too far apart from the teacher. It is obvious that Khalil loves what he is doing and is willing to put all his effort into his passion. I wholeheartedly recommend Khalil for anyone wanting to learn the language. ”

“ Kevin is a genius, who is capable of breaking down complex concepts into manageable, useful bits. If you think of a really large basket of vegetables and fruits. You know all the nutrients are good for you, but it would be tedious to try to eat it all raw. But then, you get a juicer or blender or 'Nutribullet', and juice all those vegetables and fruits into a refreshing smoothie. You can then drink that smoothie as quickly or slowly as you wish, and still get all the necessary nutrients... That's what Kevin can do - he juices all the complex intricacies of the German language into something you can understand and digest. His methods are unconventional, but very helpful in laying a proper foundation for a successful language learning journey. Very highly recommended. ”

“ Elise is very knowledgeable and does an excellent job adapting her tutoring to the needs of the student. Her experience in tutoring allows her to employ techniques like the use of shared notes that can be collaboratively edited and used for future reference. As a student, this helps with targeting aspects of speech and language that can be improved. As someone who has tried other formats of language learning, I found this style to be especially helpful with everyday spoken language. ”
