I’m so excited you want to learn German!Two women in safety gear on the Auckland bridge with view of the marina and city.

Our class is immersive–you’ll be hearing and speaking German (almost) the whole time, but it’s also a place to learn and grow. The way you learn a language is to dive in and give it a go! I’ll be your guide as you start to get your bearings & head out for new skills and understanding.

What makes you nervous? [Insert your anxiety about a foreign language classroom here.] Personally, I’m not comfortable with heights. A couple years ago, my daughter talked me into a bridge walk over the Auckland Bridge. It was hard at first, but by the end, I was soooo much more comfortable & actually having fun! This picture was from about midway–I leave it for you to decide how relaxed I actually am here.
