Hello everyone!
My name's Christopher Chandler. I'm a 30-year-old American currently living in Germany with my wife and my two cats . I love learning about cultures, learning languages, and discovering new literature, especially poetry. I even write some of my own poetry !
I studied French and computational linguistics at the Ruhr University Bochum and I currently work as a translator. While I was at the university, I also took courses for Japanese, Italian, Spanish, English, and Chinese. So, you see, languages and linguistics really are my thing.
Even if we don't share the same interests, we'll find common ground. I look forward to sharing my knowledge of languages with you :) !

Me as a Teacher
I have been on both sides of the table: as a student and as a teacher. I have taken plenty of language classes on and off of italki for French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Japanese, and Chinese.
I’ve also had experience in teaching English to Germans at a private tutor school. I've also helped many of my German, French, and Japanese friends with their English and German. This has enabled me to be able to quickly identify problems that non-native speakers might have when learning these languages. Seeing as how I have academically studied French and been to France multiple times, I also have cultural and linguistic knowledge of French that I can share with you.
My lessons & teaching style
I like to focus heavily on conversation because I see this as the most natural and most effective way to learn a language. Thus, you should be prepared to speak a lot and not shy away from talking about your hobbies and interests!
Should you have problems with grammar, expressions or the like, we can work on that as well. Just let me know beforehand what kind of lesson you would like, and I will adapt to your needs.
I' here to help you with all your language learning needs.
If you do not provide me with any information when booking the lesson, then I'll have to assume that you have something prepared for our session !

Really patient teacher with responsible approach. Christopher takes notes through the lesson and at the end gives feedback, which is something I really appreciate. Looking forward the next lesson.
