NEW SCHEDULE :)!
I am a guy from the Austrian Alps of Tirol and now I live in the beautiful city of Vienna. Some years ago on a trip to Spain I was inspired to find out more and discover Spanish culture which led me to learn the language which I believe is the best way to experience a foreign culture. Ever since I have embarked on a sort of "language learning trip" which has led me to love the process of learning a new language. I believe learning to love the process is one of the keys to actually learning the language and master it in the long run. There are no tricks or shortcuts to master a foreign language but there is definitely a proven process that will help you achieve your goals ;)
Ich als Lehrkraft
I see myself as a practical learner therefore my preferred approach is to learn by practice! In schools and language courses, languages often get analyzed rather than practiced which is why so many people make no progress after "studying a language" for months. Learning a language is like painting in the sense that you don't need to know the atomic structure of colors to be able to paint a nice picture. In this same way you don't need to know all the rules and technical terms to successfully use a language. In my lessons you will actively practice speaking German without worrying to much about the mistakes which will ultimately make it more fun and enjoyable for you.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I will correct your speaking mistakes using Skype chat or Google files. I will point out to you the mistakes you repeatedly make be it pronounciation , structure or vocabulary. Furthermore I have developed ways that I have seen help students greatly such as writing small texts or stories to help with learning new vocabulary and understanding the structure. As your teacher I want to offer you lessons where you feel free to talk about anything you prefer and I can also provide material and exercises such as translation and describing exercises, however I do not provide linguistic grammar explanations.
I use Skype, Google Hangouts or Zoom for our classes. Please read the cancellation rules.
