Acerca de mí

I'm a professional freelance translator, language teacher, and musician who migrated to Taiwan in 2011 after having lived, studied and worked in Germany, China, as well as South Korea. Language acquisition is a reciprocal process between teacher and student, so naturally I'm happiest in a situation where both parties involved put their heart and soul in it, with self-motivated learners who made a conscious choice to pick up the languages I teach. Without a doubt, however, I certainly consider it my job to inspire by instilling a love for the living language in my students, and keep that spark alive even during challenging lessons. My familiarity with languages from multiple language families (Germanic/Romance/Sino-Tibetan/Altaic) enables me to put myself into any learner's position, so I can quickly identify where the obstacles lie and help circumvent them. I'm excited to meet you and accompany you as a committed guide in your continuous progress!
我是在德碩士畢業且自由工作的筆譯、語言教師和音樂家,在德國、中國和韓國生活、學習和工作後,於 2011 年移居台灣。語言學習是一個教師和學生之間相互影響的過程,因此我最喜歡的是雙方都全身心地投入其中、學生都是自動自發地選擇學習我所教授的語言等教學環境。毫無疑問,我認為我一個很重要的任務就是激發學生對有當代性生命的語言之熱愛,即使在幾堂具有挑戰性的課中也要維持這種動機。我對多個語系(日耳曼、羅曼、漢藏、阿爾泰等語族)的語言都熟悉,這使我能夠設身處地地為說著各種母語長大的學生想,因此我能夠迅速發覺障礙所在,並在克服困難的努力中有效地提供援助。我很期待認識您,並作為您的指導老師陪伴您不斷進步的過程!

You will get an introduction to the German phoneme inventory, i.e. all the sounds – vowels, semi-vowels, and consonants – commonly used in the standard variety of this language. You will learn how these sounds are transliterated into German spelling (following a kind of logic that is different from English for several reasons), while also gaining an understanding as to why you may find slightly different spellings in print published before the end of the last century. Most importantly you will develop the essential skill to do the reverse and pronounce any German word you might come across. Once you've mastered the basics we'll bring you up to speed, so to speak, on how Germans occasionally “swallow” or omit sounds when contracting words in fast speech. 您將瞭解德文的音素庫,就是標準德語中常用的所有音,包括母音、半母音和子音。您將瞭解這些音是如何用拉丁字母音譯成德文拼寫法的(由於多種原因,其邏輯與英語的不同),同時還將瞭解為什麼在上世紀末以前出版的印刷品中會出現略有不同的拼寫。最重要的是,您將掌握反向發音的基本技能,並能讀出您可能遇到的任何德文單詞。一旦您掌握了此方面的基礎知識,我們將帶您瞭解德國人在快速說話中將一系列的單字融合起來時如何偶爾「吞音」或省略音。

I offer special sessions that meet your needs and objectives to successfully complete your DELF (Diplôme d'Etudes en Langue Française) or DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language), including the TCF (French Knowledge Test). I have been supporting many interested people of different nationalities thanks to online courses since 2018; For me, helping enthusiasts to practice the French language is a very good experience because I understand that success is a capital objective in the life of ambitious people. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, and also English. I explain my lessons in the language of your choice. And at the end of each session, I give lessons with exercises to do as homework to examine your gaps and monitor your progress. Here are some things to know about the DELF and DALF: The DELF (Diploma of Studies in French Language) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) are two official and quality diplomas. They are harmonized on the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. They include the following six levels, in ascending order: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. These two diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences. In addition, the DELF B2, and increasingly the DALF C1, allow students to enter French, European or French-speaking universities, and certain Grandes Ecoles. Will you have DELF or DALF exams to pass?

Teaching Arabic syntax and grammar rules
Grammar is the foundation of the Arabic language. It corrects tongues and protects them from mistakes. In this lesson you will learn: What is parsing? What are the rules of articulation? The lesson will start from providing examples and then explaining them to extract the rule. After understanding the rule, we will intensify the exercises, solving applications and models, taking into account the level of the student and answering his questions.

I am a qualified and experienced native Spanish teacher. I have been teaching Spanish to English students for more than 15 years and I have been teaching Spanish in Germany for 1 year. I have studied Philology at the University in Spain. I trained as a Spanish Teacher for Foreigners in Germany and in USA. I can speak English and German fluently, so there will be no difficulty in the teacher-student relationship. With me you can obtain good results, whether you want to learn or improve your Spanish, whatever your goal: • Obtain the DELE diploma at any level. • Improve your Erasmus experience. • Improve your experience as a tourist. • If you want to practice your Spanish regularly to maintain your current level * I have several conversation topics with questions to really practice Spanish. I give classes for all levels, grammar or conversation with a methodology personalized to the age, mother tongue and previous studies of the student. I take as a reference point the level and objective that the student wants to achieve in order to apply one or another method. In case of group classes, the price may be different.

Bilingualism and Code-Switching: by popular demand
In these neuro-divergent times, the binary division of "one language or two" in bilinguals is perhaps due some contestation, which students are capable of providing. I have always found bilingual production models (and the ubiquitous Powerpoint slide) that university teachers provide a hindrance because of their lack of explicitness and discussion - they are just not relatable as presented nor do they provide much information or examples for monolingual students. Code-switching, a by-product of bilingualism, is now a term that is even found in minority-ethnic neighbourhood grafitti ("can white people code-switch" a found example). Please note that this is a linguistic term, used for switching between two languages, and not between local or social varieties of English. My personal position is that there is no such thing as bilingualism: there is always a language that suffers attrition, and one language that prevails, mostly because of its prestigious standing over the other language. On the other hand, a child exposed to more than one language cannot be truly monolingual. For this course (very popular at universities around Europe both at undergraduate and postgraduate level) we shall go through the terms used to discuss bilingualism, in detail, and then discuss, with the help of published books and articles, who can be considered bilingual (or are we all, one other language lying dormant?). Can bilingualism be defined by the speaker, instead of the "community"? Can it be imposed by the State? Does a bilingual brain function in the same manner as a monolingual brain? These are research questions that emerge as dissertation or thesis topics both at undergraduate and postgraduate courses.
