About Me
italki teacher since Apr 23, 2021Interest topicFoodTravelFilms & TV Series
Hi there,
I'm Barbara from Munich (Germany).
Not only am I a tutor here, but also a student of 4 languages and I really LOVE italki!
I studied Psychology and International Business Communication and have been working as a hypnosis coach since 2013.
In my spare time I enjoy cooking (okay, my boyfriend cooks and I eat, haha), dancing (ballroom, Salsa, belly dance) and I sing and play the guitar.
We can speak about everything that is of interest for you or have a role play.
PS: Unfortunately, it happens very often that people keep me waiting in front of the computer and don’t show up!
Then they want to reschedule for free!
Please respect my time and pay the class if you stand me off!Me as a Teacher
Language learning should be FUN!
I want to help you feel RELAXED and not nervous when speaking German. Since I have many italki teachers myself, I know how important it is, to make the student speak. YES - YOU HAVE TO SPEAK! IN GERMAN! And I promise: It's not as hard as you think! Let's neglect the difficult grammar for a while and you will be surprised how soon you will be able to comunicate!
Let me give you an example:
What if I said: "Have he cat?" instead of "Does he have a cat?" - It's wrong, but totally understandable!
-> So if you say "Er haben Katze?" instead of "Hat er eine Katze?" everybody will be able to understand you!My lessons & teaching style
I am very outgoing and friendly and would like to make you laugh - or at least smile!
I appreciate that you want to learn German and don't care AT ALL if you say something wrong!
Please relax, grab yourself a cup of coffee/tea, lean back, breath in and out and let's start our class!
If you are a total beginner, I will send you a list of some vocabulary that you can learn before we meet, so that you don't have to feel unprepaired!My teaching material

I joined late, but she was very kind to still join and we had a wonderful conversation. She was very encouraging so that I could speak the basic German I know.

Barbara is very engaging and motivating. She certainly challenged me, but in the best possible way. I'm looking forward to future lessons.

I enjoyed my introductory session with Barbara. She quickly put me at ease and encouraged me to speak in my target language. I will be definitely scheduling addition sessions with her!
