"Dear Barbara, I just wanted to thank you and Sonja for soldiering on during this horrendous time. I know it is so very difficult to remain enthusiastic and motivated at the moment and having the lessons and indeed your newsletter brings much needed reminders of normality. Having Indy’s mind expanded and being able to continue learning German has made such a difference.Huge thank you and stay healthy," (Email received on 1 April 2020).
"I started learning German just to pick up a few basic phrases for holidays, but have found the lessons so stimulating and enjoyable that I keep on signing up for more. The teaching is excellent - varied, lively and effective. I can't think of any ways in which the classes could be improved."
"In my studies I have attended many language schools and have had many private tutors. None were anywhere near as good as at German Tuition. I chose to work with several different instructors and what amazed me was how every single one was simply fantastic. ..."
"I have greatly appreciated the lessons at German Tuition. They have been carefully planned and tailored to suit my pace. This flexibility, and the gentle good humour of my tutor, have meant that the lessons have always been an immense pleasure even for a slow learner like me."

This picture shows me with one of our first small classes in our beautiful attic near Old Street. We work differently now from how we worked then. However, some things have not changed...

When learning German the daily contact with the language is one of the key elements of success. I started the Facebook project "Das deutsche Wort des Tages" with the busy student in mind. 30-50 seconds allow you to just watch the video and pick up the main word. 3-5 minutes allow you to watch it over again and learn a few related words of the same post.

The world is changing and language is a reflection of those changes. As for German the Leibniz-Institut für Deutsche Sprache regularly updates an A-Z of corona related vocab, from Abstandslinie to Zoomfatigue. I hope you will enjoy reading my article on some of those new terms!
