We will introduce and learn how to use and conjugate the two most important verbs in German, "haben" and "sein". This lesson is appropriate for beginners of the German language with little to no previous German experience, as well as those who want extra practice with verbs and sentence formation.

To make the learning interactive and fun, we will look at visuals and practice verbs in sentence formation. Through this format we will practice reading, writing, listening, and speaking in German- setting us up for success when we want to use these verbs in any situation! Ideas for extra practice are also included.

German

Learning a language takes time and effort, but it doesn't have to feel like work. Learning should be fun, exciting, and motivating. We can enjoy the process, see the strides we make along the way, and appreciate “mistakes” as a step in the right direction.

Growing up bilingual, I have always had an appreciation for language and culture. This appreciation grew as I began learning new languages, and continued to grow as I completed my Master's degree and began to study what happens in your brain when you speak, read, write, and listen to language. My therapeutic background allows me a deep understanding of how to help each individual, whether through therapy, coaching, or language learning. From this, I have discovered that my passion lies in language-teaching, and I have been able to practice effective learning strategies and implement these methods in my sessions with students. 

I have experience working as an English and German teacher in Germany, teaching to kids and adults of varying levels and language goals. I hold a bachelor's degree in Language as well as a Masters degree which I obtained in Germany. I also have experience working with diverse populations including those with learning difficulties. I have been ranked top 5% of language instructors for the past several years on multiple platforms. I have taught language-learning methods to language students, business organizations, immigrants, and other individuals, applying scientifically-proven strategies to various aspects of learning. 

I structure courses to meet the specific needs of the students in order for students to get the most out of the learning experience. My expertise lies in the areas of business language, grammar, proofreading, reading and writing, speaking and listening, vocabulary building, conversation, career development, and building confidence in language skills. I would be happy to discuss your personal goals and create a lesson plan that best suits your needs.

For me, the value is in seeing the individuals I work with learn, grow, and learn to love learning. Give me an opportunity to ignite your learning journey, and I will provide you with the tools to reach your goals. Send me a message or book a lesson to get started.

Lisa is an outstanding German teacher on TakeLessons!  She has made a huge difference in my progress with the language.

One of her best qualities is her ability to adapt the lessons to my specific needs and skill level. This has been incredibly helpful, as it allows me to focus on the areas where I need the most improvement. Lisa is also very patient and encouraging, which has made learning German a much more enjoyable experience.

In addition to her excellent teaching skills, Lisa is always on time for lessons and prompt in all her communication. This level of professionalism is very much appreciated.

Overall, I highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a fantastic German teacher on TakeLessons.

Lisa a great teacher. She is extremely patient and makes learning enjoyable. I am grateful to have found her online and excited to continue my journey to learn German. Danke Lisa!

My 5-year-old, who usually is more reserved with strangers, enjoys his German class with Lisa. She is patient, friendly, and encouraging. Definitely recommend her!

Lisa is a really professional and very friendly teacher. Highly recommended. Best instructor ever! Thank you very much.

I am only a few months in to learning German and I find Lisa makes the lessons very practical incorporating new vocabulary, proper pronunciation, and grammar rules. As a native speaker, she is able to provide great tips on every-language. It can be intimidating to take on a new language and I would highly recommend Lisa to help with that journey.

Saying that Lisa makes learning fun is an understatement. She radiates positive energy and makes you want to work harder when things get difficult. She has a clear passion for teaching and gets just as excited as I do when I get a difficult question right. Best instructor ever!!!
