I have over 25 years of experience in my field and successfully taught thousands of clients. On this blog, you will find tips on how to learn German or improve your existing skills.

I also have posts that might be of interest to those who learn other languages, such as an A-Z guide to grammar terminology, an explanation on the different language levels from A1 to C2, reviews of the most popular online dictionaries and language learning apps, and I offer some insights on how to learn vocabulary.
