Hello German learners!
My name is Verena and I'm from a little town called Neustadt in Germany. I have a masters degree in teaching and enjoy nothing more than helping you learn my favorite language.
Usually my lessons are based on textbooks and we'll work our way through a book at your language level to steadily increase your knowledge and skills of German, including vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and much more. However, I know that learning styles vary, and also that needs and requirements while learning a language vary - some students might prefer a simple conversational lesson, or might have a specific issue that they would like to focus on. I'm open for almost anything, just let me know and I'll design a lesson that fits your learning style.
