I believe in total immersion for intermediate beginners, which means the instructional language will be German. I love sharing the gift of language with children and believe that a language acquisition course must be both interactive and engaging. Students will have a variety of speaking opportunities in my class, to not only improve conversational abilities, but to also boost self-confidence. I grew up in the former East Germany close to the city of Dresden. I am currently finishing my M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction. I have taught German for over 10 years for various ages both online and face-to face. This course is for absolute beginners and requires no previous knowledge of German.
