and learn German in a way that suits you

“Learning another language is not only learning different words for the same things, but learning another way to think about things.”
– Flora Lewis

VIP Blabla

VIP Blabla is a highly personalized 12 week training to fast track you to speaking German more confidently.

Perfect if you want to advance quickly and work towards a specific goal.
Ideal if you find it hard to stay motivated and don’t know where to look for materials and ressources.

After a thorough assessment of your goals, schedule and learning preferences, I will craft a tailor made learning programme for you.

Your learning programme includes

2 hours of conversational lessons per week
Depending on your availability and language level the 2 hours can be done over 2x 1 hour long meetings or one 2 hour meeting.

Carefully curated materials for you and access to an interactive learning platform
I will provide you with materials that are relevant and interesting to you. Additionally you will have access to the Deutschfuchs platform, which includes regularly updated materials and a self learning space for you.

Audio files to learn on the go
Regular listening and repeating of phrases is a very useful and effective strategy for improving your conversational skills in German.
Instead of wading through grammar books and wasting time memorizing rules you can automate your spoken German by memorizing useful phrases instead.
I will select useful phrases and structures from our conversations and record them for you to listen and practice whenever you can.

Regular check-in’s and mini challenges
Studies show that language learning happens best when you work on small steps every day.
Stay motivated with regular messages of encouragement, ideas for learning, interesting articles to read and ideas for reflection

Strategy training based on your preferences
You learn best when you learn your way. It is not helpful and not motivating to use strategies that don’t work for you.
Together we will find the best ways for you to learn. This will not just help you during your VIP Blabla training but also later and even for learning other languages.

A shared Google Doc
Keep track. Sometimes during a fun conversation you will get carried away and forget to take notes. No problem! During our lessons I will write down notes and explanations for you and you can add and edit them after. Stay focused on our conversation without being distracted by note taking.

Einfach Blabla

Fun and engaging conversational lessons to get you talking German!

Perfect if you feel unsure and lack confidence when speaking in German.

Tourguides and tourism professionals don’t just need to be able to speak about their sites but they also need to be able to engage with their guests on a more personal level.
This lesson type is ideal if you already use books or apps to learn German but you need to get some speaking practice in.
A perfect combination with self studying.

Einfach Blabla means

You choose the subject.
We will talk about things that you care about. Read an interesting article recently? Bring it along and we’ll have a chat.
Want to practice some small talk so you can make your tours more interactive? I’m here to help!

Practice speaking naturally and gain confidence with every lesson.
I will show your where your strengths are and what you can work on. I can answer questions and give explanations to things that came up during your self study or during the lesson.

Other lesson types and options

The life of a tourism professional can be very different during the season and off season.

This is why I’m happy to offer you various options on my courses.

Contact me and together we can work out the different options I can provide for you.

What are your prices?

Einfach Blabla lessons are sold in packs of 5 or 10 hours for 33€/hour for a 1:1 lesson.

VIP Blabla is currently at a special rate of 800€ (instead of 1500€!) for 12 weeks of 1:1 training.

If you’re interested in group lessons (for a lower price) contact me for availability and prices

Which is better? Group or 1:1 lessons?

It all depends on how much time you can invest and how you prefer to learn.
Both the Einfach Blabla and VIP Blabla are available as 1:1 or group lessons (if possible).
A good idea is to combine 1:1 lessons, self study and group meetings such as the Kaffeeklatsch.

Group lessons are ideal if you:
+ like to learn with others
+ have the possibility to adhere to fixed appointments with the group
+ more interactive activities
+ stay motivated by learning with others
+ want to pay a lower price
However:
– you may talk less yourself
– they’re less adaptable to what you want to learn

1:1 lessons are ideal if you:
+ want a highly personalized learning experience
+ need flexibility for scheduling lessons
+ they’re focussed on you
+ they’re flexible for content
However:
– they can be tiring especially for lower levels
– you will only interact with me and not with other learners
