And here it comes, my new time-table for German adult classes. I'm offering both structured Beginners/Refreshers classes and more informal conversation sessions for learners with previous knowledge of German, where we explore a whole range of interesting topics while mainly focusing on your speaking skills. For my English learners, keep your eyes peeled, English for adults is coming too!

Guten Morgen! Wie geht's? I'm not a natural Monday morning person, are you? So I treat myself to something special, whether it's a nice cup of strong coffee or a mug of freshly brewed coffee. What do your Monday mornings look like? Let me know in the comments.

Interesting! Might the government be waking up to the fact that this country needs German speakers? Better late than never.

A lovely bit of German cultural knowledge on the topic of health, with some German interviews too. I can confirm it's all 100% accurate.😀

What a fascinating little piece of German history that I had frankly never heard of!

What a wonderful post by the Goethe Institut, I love all these slightly old-fashioned German words.

One of our lovely clients this morning reminded me that on international polar bear day, the picture book character Lars, the little polar bear, created by Dutch author Hans de Beer, deserves a special mention. These are beautifully illustrated books, translated into many languages. If you have a small child that you would like to familiarise with German, why not read to them from the German version "Kleiner Eisbär". They are wonderful stories about courage, adventure and friendship.

Hello everyone! So here it is, my latest addition: I am launching a new class format, lunchtime online conversation. I thought it could be nice to hop on to this during your lunchbreak and just enjoy a chat with like-minded people who want to practise their language skills together. I will be guiding you through a range of topics in a relaxed atmosphere. Could this be for you? Then drop me a direct message or email me at [email protected]

Are you thinking about a trip to the UK in spring? See below for a handy guide on what flowers when. With the warm February temperatures and the beautiful sunshine out there, I have a feeling it could be even earlier.
