All About the Lessons
-
How do your German lessons differ from traditional classes?
Unlike conventional classes that often focus on grammar drills and vocabulary lists, my lessons prioritize immersive, comprehensible input. Using research-backed methods, I guide you through the most effective strategies for progressing in German, both in and out of class.
-
Do I need prior German knowledge to start lessons with you?
No prior knowledge is required. Lessons are tailored to accommodate learners at all levels, including complete beginners.
-
What lesson types are available?
You can choose from regular "German lessons" (see more details under "What can I expect during a lesson?"), a Crosstalk session (explained further under "What is Crosstalk?"), or a consultation session, where we explore research-backed strategies and methods tailored to your current level to help you advance in German.
-
What can I expect during a lesson?
Lessons are interactive and centered around engaging content that you can understand. Through stories, conversations, and activities, you'll be exposed to German in a way that promotes natural comprehension and retention. The input and lessons are tailored to your level and individual needs. Additionally, we'll discuss language learning strategies based on research to help you progress efficiently. This approach applies to the regular "German Lesson" format on the booking page.
-
What is Crosstalk?
Crosstalk is a conversational language exchange where each person typically speaks in their native language, ensuring the other understands through context, gestures, and visuals. In our lessons, I speak German, adapting to your level and making sure you understand everything I say, while you respond in English (or Spanish). This approach offers several key benefits: • You receive authentic, native German input through real-life interactions. • Your focus is entirely on understanding. • You learn to understand without translating. • You’re not pressured to speak German, which has several benefits in itself including creating a stress-free environment. • Conversations are tailored to you individually. • It works at all levels, even if you’re starting from scratch. • The lessons are engaging and enjoyable, ensuring you stay motivated. • All the additional benefits of comprehensible input are included.
-
Can I purchase multiple lessons at once?
Yes! I offer discounted lesson bundles for 5, 10, or 20 lessons. If you're interested, just send me an email ([email protected]), and I'll provide you with the details.
-
Do you offer group lessons or only one-on-one sessions?
Currently, I only offer one-on-one lessons, which allows me to provide more personalized guidance and attention.
-
What if I can't find a suitable time in your schedule?
If available slots don't align with your availability, please contact me directly ([email protected]). If our schedules and time zones align, we can try to find a suitable time.
-
Can I reschedule or cancel a lesson?
Yes, lessons can be rescheduled or canceled. Once you've booked a lesson, you'll receive a confirmation email with links to reschedule or cancel. Please provide at least 12 hours' notice to accommodate changes, as per the scheduling policy.
