This class will be taught exclusively in German using the immersion method. There will be no explanations in English. Each week, the teacher will present learners with a new character. This might be an animal, a person in a funny outfit, or an inanimate object. This will be our character for the story. We will give it a name. We might talk about the character's personality or other things in its life. Then we will talk about what the character does. The teacher will guide the discussion with the goal of creating a narrative for a mini story. If there is no character, then we will pretend we are doing something with multiple steps (Bake a cake! Tie your shoe!) We will mostly use simple sentences with a noun and verb and maybe a direct object to describe everything. This allows the teacher to convey the meaning for each word through physical actions and pictures, so that even beginners can follow what is happening. Kids will be encouraged to mirror the teacher's actions for extra fun!

Tips for a Successful Class:
1. Teach your child to mute and unmute (if possible). This way, they can participate independently.
2. Supervise your child, especially if they can't seem to stay in front of the screen. There is nothing I can do to bring them back!!
3. Keep the surroundings quiet and free of side conversations. If the child's surroundings are quiet, you can leave them unmuted. If there is disruptive background noise, I may be forced to mute them.
4. Allow them to bring a toy (if it won't be unreasonably distracting). Talking about the toy in German can be a great icebreaker!

Guten Tag and welcome to my page. I am excited to practice language with you! Having lived in both Germany and the United States, I am bilingual in German and English. As a German-English translator, ESL teacher, and German teacher, I have spent over 10 years inhabiting the crossroads where German and English come together. This experience has been an invaluable asset that helps me explain the nuances of each language to my students in simple, practical terms. I started teaching English as a second language to children in China online about one year ago and I love all of the opportunities online learning presents for engaging learning experiences.
I teach both German as a second language and English as a second language classes. My sessions focus on providing students with authentic situations in which to practice targeted skills such as grammar, vocabulary, and conversation in English or German.
I am an ATA-certified German ->English translator and hold a CELTA Certificate from Cambridge for ESL teaching, where I learned curriculum development and teaching skills that I now apply to both English and German classes. I also hold a Master of Arts in interkulturelle Germanistik (Intercultural German Studies) from the Universität Bayreuth in Germany and a Bachelor of Arts in German Studies from Weber State University in the United States. An Associate of Applied Science in Technical Drafting for manufacturing and mechanical engineering from Weber State University gives me a solid technical background as well. I love combining my technical skills with language to create interesting and unique classes for young learners.
When I'm not working, I can be found biking up to 50 miles on my trusty bicycle or trying to learn a language I don't already know (currently French).
I look forward to seeing you in class!
