Phonetics and Spelling in Standard German 標準德文語音與拼寫法
You will get an introduction to the German phoneme inventory, i.e. all the sounds – vowels, semi-vowels, and consonants – commonly used in the standard variety of this language. You will learn how these sounds are transliterated into German spelling (following a kind of logic that is different from English for several reasons), while also gaining an understanding as to why you may find slightly different spellings in print published before the end of the last century. Most importantly you will develop the essential skill to do the reverse and pronounce any German word you might come across. Once you've mastered the basics we'll bring you up to speed, so to speak, on how Germans occasionally “swallow” or omit sounds when contracting words in fast speech.
您將瞭解德文的音素庫,就是標準德語中常用的所有音,包括母音、半母音和子音。您將瞭解這些音是如何用拉丁字母音譯成德文拼寫法的(由於多種原因,其邏輯與英語的不同),同時還將瞭解為什麼在上世紀末以前出版的印刷品中會出現略有不同的拼寫。最重要的是,您將掌握反向發音的基本技能,並能讀出您可能遇到的任何德文單詞。一旦您掌握了此方面的基礎知識,我們將帶您瞭解德國人在快速說話中將一系列的單字融合起來時如何偶爾「吞音」或省略音。

About Me
I'm a professional freelance translator, language teacher, and musician who migrated to Taiwan in 2011 after having lived, studied and worked in Germany, China, as well as South Korea. Language acquisition is a reciprocal process between teacher and student, so naturally I'm happiest in a situation where both parties involved put their heart and soul in it, with self-motivated learners who made a conscious choice to pick up the languages I teach. Without a doubt, however, I certainly consider it my job to inspire by instilling a love for the living language in my students, and keep that spark alive even during challenging lessons. My familiarity with languages from multiple language families (Germanic/Romance/Sino-Tibetan/Altaic) enables me to put myself into any learner's position, so I can quickly identify where the obstacles lie and help circumvent them. I'm excited to meet you and accompany you as a committed guide in your continuous progress!我是在德碩士畢業且自由工作的筆譯、語言教師和音樂家,在德國、中國和韓國生活、學習和工作後,於 2011 年移居台灣。語言學習是一個教師和學生之間相互影響的過程,因此我最喜歡的是雙方都全身心地投入其中、學生都是自動自發地選擇學習我所教授的語言等教學環境。毫無疑問,我認為我一個很重要的任務就是激發學生對有當代性生命的語言之熱愛,即使在幾堂具有挑戰性的課中也要維持這種動機。我對多個語系(日耳曼、羅曼、漢藏、阿爾泰等語族)的語言都熟悉,這使我能夠設身處地地為說著各種母語長大的學生想,因此我能夠迅速發覺障礙所在,並在克服困難的努力中有效地提供援助。我很期待認識您,並作為您的指導老師陪伴您不斷進步的過程!

Kevin
Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching. I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches:
If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options:
1) Memorise the timetable.
2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m.
In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster.
My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods.
Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude.
I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.
What will not be covered in the course:
learning lists of verbs;
learning lists of nouns with articles;
learning words with their translations;
flashcards;
doing school exercises;
following the syllabus of a booklet;
imposing the English grammar on the German language.
What is particularly important to me:
to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm;
to encourage his creativity;
to befriend him with the language;
the letters and their sounds;
to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop;
to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences;
to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible;
to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...;
to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary.
A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.

Improve your communication skills in German - Let's focus on speaking!KursbeschreibungWith this course I will help you to improve your speaking and communication skills in German as a foreign language. Most language courses in Europe focus on the CEF and speaking is just one out of 4 or 5 skills. In group lessons participants usually don't have enough time to practise speaking. As you usually need good speaking skills for your daily life in Germany or at work, we will work on your communication skills.
From CEF A1.2 to CEF C2, I will adapt all topics to your level.

German, English, French and Spanish for beginners, intermediate and advanced studentsI help both for private purposes, business and for school. My lessons are mainly result-oriented. It is my intention to achieve a maximum result in a pleasant way. I have already helped many children, young people and adults.
I adapt to the level and the intended result
I keep my lessons varied but still challenging.

I do my work with passion and 100% motivation.
It makes me happy to see that my students are also enjoying their progress, that's why I have a very good relationship with my students.

Repetitive English course for all ages and levelsI offer repetitive English and German lessons, according to your school program or simply by wanting to develop in these languages.
Having obtained my gymnasium maturity certificate in June 2020, I have an intermediate level B1 in these two languages with a small advance on English. I have vocabulary in both languages very favorable for improvement in the language we work.

I offer my services as a proofreader. I have obtained the Le Robert Certification, which attests to my excellent level of French.
During my career, I have corrected, explained, and given advice to my students in middle schools, general, vocational, and technological high schools, as well as to students in higher education.
I have a lot of experience.
There is nothing like someone who can proofread and correct the content of your writing without judgment and with complete discretion.
During class hours, I offer to advise you, explain grammar rules, see with you how to better structure your writing, work on vocabulary, etc.
Thank you for your trust.

Learn to write and pronounce Arabic easily and with some fun!The Arabic writing system may seem challenging at first glance, but in reality, it’s a beautifully structured alphabet that anyone can learn. With the right approach and a bit of dedication, mastering it takes less time than you might think.
In this class, we will learn and memorize the shape of the letters and their correct pronunciation through listening exercises and writing practice. As we explore the alphabet, we will also dive into Arabic culture and traditions, making the learning process both engaging and meaningful.
After years of teaching Arabic, I created this class to help:
Curious learners who want to explore the Arabic alphabet and pronunciation.
Arabic speakers who never had the chance to learn how to write.
Those struggling with the language and looking for a stress-free way to break the ice.

German Class for Beginners/Intermmediate/ AdvancedGerman?
About 40% of German and English vocabulary are very similar to each other, which makes German one of the easiest languages to learn for native English speakers. So, basically, if you already know English, it should be a piece of cake for you to learn German.
Why German?
Science and Research: German is the second most commonly used scientific language. Cultural understanding: Learning German provides you with an insight into the way of life, and the hopes and dreams of people in German speaking countries, broadening your horizon.

German 🇩🇪 ✨ differently for young and old 🤗 with compunction, humor and magic ✨Möchten Sie Deutsch lernen? If you've always dreamed of saying “Guten Tag” with a mischievous smile, these courses are the perfect opportunity for you to dive into the fascinating world of the German language! 🇩🇪
I can provide academic support for children, as well as individual lessons for professionals or anyone else interested. In Besançon or by video.
Usually, I teach a multitude of subjects in alternation, putting priority on the student's wishes. Together we will break through the tangled maze of German grammar brilliantly. 🇩🇪 And to brighten up the lessons, I have a lot of tracks in my repertoire such as humorous poems by J. Ringelnatz or songs. Also, I always find it pleasant to support beginners in their first steps. 🤗📚
My arsenal? An online portal with links and materials that I personalize for each student and a mind map at the beginning to present all the themes I propose. I will send you on request. Some exercises I did myself, often with the help of AI. I can recommend some nifty software and give you incentives so that you can continue learning very effectively yourself. And inspire you to learn the long works of Goethe and Schiller with new vivacity. 💡
My particular passion is German compound words, a real linguistic puzzle! How would you translate Handschuh = "shoe of the hands", Zebrastreifen = "zebra strips", Dachboden = "roof floor" or Friedhof = "court of peace. And for the advances, what is it about with the " Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-Hyperaktivitätssyndrom"? (I will send you answers on request (; ) 🤓🇩🇪
For the curious, what concerns your teacher:
Born in Northern Germany and since 2020 in Besançon. Graduate in geography. I have already taught German in various projects in Togo and Kyrgyzstan. I have already taught German in various projects in Togo and Kyrgyzstan. In Besançon, I worked as a German teacher for the "Maison Blanche Formation", a language school for professionals and for the Scops association. 🌍👨🏫
The lessons can take place in my apartment in the city center of Besançon, at the student's home, against a possible travel expense depending on the distance or by video. And surprise, I also provide academic support in mathematics, English or multi-subjects. 🎓💻🗣️
So, ready for an extraordinary linguistic adventure? Johannes, the spell master is waiting for you! Prost (that's "cheers" in German) and see you soon! 🌈👋
