Westlake Village, CA German Lessons

*****Each Online Lesson with Free Video & MP3 Recording*****

I grew up bilingual English and German, attending an international school from a very young age. I attended, also, a German public secondary school, where I earned a diploma, and I completed German credits at the college level. I taught German in the language lab of a community college, for special needs students, and for private agencies, such as Tutor Doctor. My emphasis is on a comparative introduction of the language to draw out a common ground and familiarize possibly daunting differences. I also enjoy asserting that German is often underestimated as a rewarding second language to study. I have experience teaching German literature, elementary German, and German grammar. I lived in Germany for over 18 years. I am member of the Association for Language Learning, located in Leicester, UK.

I love all things German and my aim is to encourage my students to feel the same. I've been teaching German for 3 years. My students go from knowing no German to being able to hold conversations to eventually completing their grad studies in a German speaking country!

Within the first few lessons, you'll be able to introduce yourself and before you know it be a German whizz. I try to base my lessons around modern German pop culture typically using current events as inspiration. My lessons feature video links, audio, worksheets, textbooks, and more.

While I may be a grammar guru, I try to focus on the practical points of German as well. You may be learning hochdeutsch, or proper, German on paper, but I also want my students to be able to be able to speak the language and understand some German slang or culturally different words and phrases. Therefore I like to include lessons about the different dialects, cultures, and mindsets of the German people in addition to the actual grammatical makeup of the language itself. I also believe that the best way to learn about your own language is to learn another, so employ a technique, which involves teaching some English in order to better improve your understanding of German. I love the German language, and hope I can pass on the enthusiasm I have for the language to you as well - happy learning!
