As a language teacher, I focus on challenging the way of thinking of the students by dealing with the culture, history and culture of the German speaking countries, beside the language. During the lessons we watch films and videoclips, hear music, we use the computer and make role plays. I like the fact that the groups are small, so that you can learn from each other. The students come from all over the world, which makes our discussions very lively and interesting!"
