German Teacher based in Vienna
● M.A. in German Linguistics (with a focus on DaF) from Bamberg, Germany● Specialized in Phonology/Phonetics
(and vocabulary acquisition / textbook analysis / comparative linguistics / direct method)● ÖIF-certified and BAMF-approved for integration courses.
(Experienced in ÖIF intensive courses)Language has always fascinated me—how and why it works, all the way to the cultural aspects and human thoughts behind it. I constantly strive to understand this better, and I would love to share it.
German Course – Coming soon!
Learning German is not easy—I’ve been there too, and I questioned a lot along the way. It was also a lot of fun! I am building this path with you too! It is not just about grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary, but also about cultural aspects and everyday life. We will be having nice conversations—chill and easy. I enjoy sharing stories with you that are based on my experience and knowledge. With time, you’ll catch a natural feel for the language and feel more confident in conversation.

Are there too many meanings for a single word? Cognitive linguistics sees it differently! Once you understand the core of the word, all those meanings suddenly reveal a logical connection. In my videos, we will find the core of each word together!Note: I am currently working on new teaching materials. For any academic questions regarding cognitive linguistics, please feel free to reach out.⬇️ Feel free to write to me below.

In my free time, I attempt to set poems from China's oldest collection of poetry, the Shijing (詩經), to music in Hokkien (Taiwanese)—a language that is one of the closest to Old Chinese.Click on the image on the right to listen to the songs! 👉
