Tough Love German

The German language is tough—some call it awful*—but with a little TLC from TLG, you’ll come to love its über-delightful complexities and many benefits. My top three:

  1. German fosters innovation and resourcefulness. Where else can you make up a word all on your own, practically from thin air (and a word or two or three or four), only to discover it’s absolutely correct?
  2. German instills humility as well as confidence. German syntax is demanding, but when you master it, you know there are no obstacles that you can’t overcome.
  3. But most of all, German is thrilling, challenging and rewarding, and it bestows a gift of clarity in expression that’s hard to beat.

I’m a native German language specialist and researcher with over 20 years of experience in language education, translation and localization. I offer personalized German instruction for students and professionals in one-on-one or group sessions as well as meticulous translations of a wide range of materials from and to German. I love to make learning German fun, accessible, and practical as much as I love finding exactly the right word and expression, the moment when a tricky sentence finally clicks in the target language.
