More details about my language interests
I've been teaching German for almost 10 years, mostly group classes. Since 2020 I've only given online German classes. Languages and linguistics are my greatest passion. Language equals culture, culture equals history, and history defines who we are as humans. Every language I speak adds a new colour to my soul. I’d like to practice all the languages I’ve learned. I’d also like to learn more languages. I once learned Finnish, for example, but I’ve forgotten everything. I’d also like to improve my Hungarian, which I started learning on my own. I also find Dutch, Icelandic, Arabic and some other languages very fascinating...!

More details about your skills

- My official (and current) profession is German language teacher; since 2020, I have been giving only online classes.
- Teaching (as well as learning languages) is my passion, but I’d like to spend less time at the computer and do more physical work (e.g., gardening, taking care of animals, helping on a construction site, cleaning, cooking…).
- I’m not the most technically skilled person, but I can do simple tasks with prior instruction, and I love learning new things.
- I love organizing and bringing structure to anything that looks like chaos :D
- I’m a very patient and motivated person, and I believe patience is the key to success in everything in life.

What else ...

I work online in the mornings, usually Monday to Friday from 9:30 to 12:10 CET, and on two evenings—Tuesday and Thursday from 18:30 to 20:00 CET. In total, I work 15 hours per week. The rest of the time I’m free and can help you with whatever you need. :)

My hobbies and interests, besides languages and linguistics, include traveling, cooking, yoga and meditation, psychology, swimming, art, theatre, movies, photography and much more.
