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

SORRY, CURRENTLY TEMPORARLY NOT AVAILABLE BECAUSE OF GIVING BIRTH...
PROBABLY AVAILABLE AGAIN FROM SUMMER 2025


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 ;)

Nadine is a great teacher. She understand quickly your learning needs and customise her lesson to them.
It’s pleasure to study with Nadine, as she makes learning a joy! Highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn German in an enjoyable, interactive way.
Wonderful and positive teacher. Perfect first session.
Good & practical person, able to keep it simple and support us in the right way.
My daughter in high school has understood the contents of Physics very well, she explains very clearly.
I finished the education of wholistic health coaching at the swiss "Akademie der Naturheilkunde". I am looking forward to helping you to figure out what you can do to become more energetic and healthy. Among other things I can help you to figure out how to improve your nutrition and balance your acid-alcaline equilibrium or cleanse your intestines. I am also happy to share my favorite recipes with 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.
SORRY, CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE BECAUSE OF GIVING BIRTH... PROBABLY AVAILABLE AGAIN FROM MIDDLE OF SEPTEMBER/ OCTOBER (for English description see below) Hi there, I offer tutoring for math and science subjects here. Regardless of whether it's school, university or work - having to learn to pass a subject is neither fun nor much point, as you'll soon forget most of it. But how can it be better? I have experienced several times how much of success depends on the emotions associated with learning. That's why I'll try to create an environment in which you feel free to make mistakes - because mistakes are important for learning! I rely on understanding, patience and curiosity to develop a positive relationship with learning rather than applying pressure. Following the neurobiologist Gerald Hüther, I see the art in setting just the right big challenges to be exciting but not frightening, so that you automatically develop joy in discovery. I would be happy to have an introductory meeting in order to take your needs and wishes into account from the outset. Background information about me: I am a qualified engineer (mechanical engineering) with 3 years of work experience, as well as a master's degree in bionics (cross-sectional discipline between biology and engineering) and a PhD in environmental protection of mountain regions. I was active as a youth leader at the Alpine Club. I have been giving tutoring lessons on the side ever since I was at school. I am pleased to meet you.
SORRY, CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE BECAUSE OF GIVING BIRTH... PROBABLY AVAILABLE AGAIN FROM SUMMER 2025 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 :)

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.

Elise
Private German lessons by qualified academic
University graduate in German language and literature (Master of Letters in German with specialization in medieval languages and literature) with a solid experience, gives private German lessons for all levels. My lessons are adapted according to the needs of the student. They aim to consolidate concepts, fill gaps, prepare for exams (maturity, compulsory school leaving certificates, entrance exams to gymnasiums and universities, Goethe Zertifikat up to B2). Opportunity to learn the language. For school supports: This is above all long-term work, which implies on my part taking the time to "learn how to learn" in an effective manner: every exercise is explained in detail, which can make its execution easier. slower. Quality takes priority over quantity in order to obtain optimal results over time. Students bring their own course materials (notebooks, books, audio CDs, dictionaries, assessments, etc.). 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. 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. For exam preparations: 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. For the oral comprehension: Work from audio-visual viewings downloaded from the Deutsche Welle site, which offer various recordings adapted to all levels, with a very concrete approach. In the long term, the student acquires ease not only in oral comprehension, but also enriches his basic vocabulary through exercises. I also work on the Goethe Institut oral tests to familiarize myself with speaking. For the work of the written expression: 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. Apart from my presence with the student, every lesson involves preparation time before and after the lesson, particularly for the work that I correct. My goal being to design an individualized course, I take the time necessary to write detailed comments on corrected work or advice to ensure maximum success for everyone. 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. :)

Lerne authentisches Deutsch, intuitiv und mit Freude am Sprechen. (Storytelling and rhetoric knowledge included)
Lern German step by step. It's time to practice speaking and communicating confidently. No matter if you need to write an essay or need to perform a speech in front of a big group of people, or you just want to train your conversational german: let me guide you and help you with it. I would like to train the "input-output" method with you. Here we don't just learn grammar and vocabulary.

With this method we achieve much better and faster learning success, 90% instead of 30%). You only really internalize things that you have thought about and written down and that you are interested in personally.

William
Repetitive German language course for all ages and levels
I offer repetitive courses in German and English, according to your school program or simply out of a desire to develop in these languages. Having obtained my gymnasium maturity certificate in June 2020, I have an intermediate level B1 in these two languages with a small advance on English. I have vocabulary in both languages very favorable for improvement in the language we work.

Daniel
German Classes. Customised to individual needs. Mulitlingual Tutor certified by Cambridge University.
It is important that a language is lived, not just learned. This is the advantage of personalized German lessons with a private tutor. I have a broad knowledge base in many language backgrounds. Regardless of the language, I think learning is easiest when respecting your unique background and motivations, as well as the intricacies of your mother tongue. Above all, focusing on the commonalities rather than the differences. I believe in a personal approach. This means I will sit down with you and figure out what your goals are, your strengths, and your resources, either in person or via online tutoring. I can: - provide stand-alone lessons with course material tailored to you - support courses by language schools like benedict, inlingua, ils, dialogica... - target practice for exams & certifications like fide, Goethe-Zertifikat, telc, SDS... I have a master’s degree in German Studies, and I am certified by the University of Cambridge. Besides extensive work as a translator, I also have experience tutoring foreign university students, giving courses to expat families as well as tutoring refugees, and even teaching my Czech girlfriend. Not just in English and German, but also specifically working to understand the Swiss dialects.

I have completed German, English and Dutch at VWO level.

Elaine

I help schoolchildren and adults to learn both German and English. With fun and empathy. What distinguishes my lessons is that I have a lot of patience for my students and practice with them until they understand it. Everyone loves teaching with me.

Andrea
Individual exam preparation for telc German B1, B2, C1 or the Goethe certificate for B1, B2, C1 or C2
As a certified examiner and experienced trainer for German (foreign language), I prepare you individually for the telc German and Goethe certificate exams. Why with me? I know the telc German exams and Goethe certificate exams in detail. You will not only learn the parts of the exam, but also the best strategy for solving each part of the exam and the tasks. Efficient preparation: As a rule, 10 appointments are enough if you already have good prior knowledge. We focus on you passing the exam. Ideal if you already have good previous knowledge. In just 10 appointments you will learn the exam format, the tasks and the best strategy. Do you need more time before the exam? Do you still have gaps, your knowledge of German is not sufficient or you have been living in Germany for a long time and it has been a long time since your last course? We will then add the most important topics relevant to the exam so that you are optimally prepared.
