In this one time live class the students will have fun learning a variety of basic German vocabulary and phrases. They will also learn important cultural, geographical and historical concepts related to Germany and the German language. The focus will be on language comprehension and taking any fear of becoming confident German communicators from the start. At the end of the course your student will be able to introduce him or herself and comprehend basic conversational concepts as it relates to greetings, introductions, communicating about their age, city, hobbies, etc. Being a native speaker I have found that in teaching German the most efficient and most natural approach is the language immersion model. The students will hear me speak a lot of German and will have fun repeating phrases after me. I am a very compassionate, encouraging and fun loving teacher and it is a joy to continuously see my students gain confidence in their speaking ability and pronunciation. About me: I have obtained my BA in Linguistics from a German university and my MA from a U.S. university. I have been tutoring and teaching in various classroom and private settings for the past 20 years - including language institutes, public charter schools and private schools. I am also in the pool of adjunct faculty for my local community college. Moreover have I been homeschooling my children for 5 years and loved watching them blossom in their German language skills. I speak high German (no dialect) and enjoy hearing all my students develop an accent-free German, naturally by listening to me speak and by hearing themselves repeat German phrases till they become natural to them. I am also a big advocate of team work and begin small group projects in this class already to help students develop positive and mutually encouraging relationships with each other. I'm looking forward to seeing you in my class soon! (Ich freue mich dich bald kennenzulernen!! ) Bis bald, (see you soon) Nancy ***Feel free to email me for any questions or requests.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hallo Parent,
I am a German language and culture professor at two universities in Los Angeles. Apart from having taught German at university level, I taught in private language school settings as well as in the public school sector and enjoy teaching all age groups!
I absolutely love teaching, especially my mother language German because I believe it is such a wonderful language and a lot of fun to explore new cultures! I love to spark an interest in your students to visit German speaking countries one day. I also love learning from my students as they share about their life and knowledge of the world with their classmates during presentations.
Over the years I have come to believe that especially for younger students, learning a language at home is the perfect environment for them to conveniently relax and feel at ease as they practice their pronunciation in the comfort of their home.
I have been hybrid-homeschooling my own children for 8 years and love the freedom it allowed them to develop and pursue their interests and skills to the maximum. I wholeheartedly believe learning a new language and culture is one of the best gifts your can give to your child in order to thrive in this world and life an extraordinary fulfilling life.
If you have any questions regarding classes or would like to schedule an assessment for an advanced German speaker feel free to message me.
I look forward to meeting your scholar soon!
Best,
NancyReviews
