About Me
italki teacher since Dec 7, 2021
My name is Birgit, I'm Austrian and I come from Klagenfurt. I'm a certified DAF/DAZ-Teacher, German native speaker and I speak Italian fluently (CILS C2) and I speak English.
I've studied economics and worked in that sector for years but than I changed my job and I began to focus on teaching German to foreigners and I became a DAF/DAZ-German-Teacher. (German as a second/foreign language)
I have a never-ending passion for languages especially for Italian that I've self-thaught myself and improved it also with the help of Italki-Teachers.
Currently I'm improving my English and I'm learning a little bit of Spanish.
In my free time I love running, travelling and eating yummy foods :-)
Me as a Teacher
I want to motivate and support you reaching your language goals. I also want to take you your insecurities when you speak and to take you the fear of making errors - It's normal :-)
Because of my experience I know very well the problems and difficulties that everyone has learning a language. But in my studies and when I worked with other students I learned a lot of tips and tricks and good methods that will also help you. I will help you making progress and I will accompany you on your road to good and solid language skills.
My lessons & teaching style
In the lessons we start with a simple conversation about topics that are interesting and useful for you. During this conversation we work out together new vocabulary, phrases and expressions, we analyze and discuss errors, we talk about grammar, structures of the sentences, we improve your pronunciation and much much more.
During the lessons I will take notes for you.
We can also work with different types of media (articles, videos...).
I also do test preperations and preperations for German exams.

I never spoke so much German in my life! Birgit is very easy to talk to and she’s motivating very much. We spoke just German and whenever I miss some words and I am stuck, she helps me out and she writes useful expression in the chat. She also suggests quite interesting conversation topics and reading material. Just in few lessons, I feel already more confident.
Non ho mai parlato così tanto tedesco in vita mia! Birgit è una persona con cui è molto facile parlare e mi motiva molto nel mio studio. Durante la lezione parliamo solo tedesco, ma quando mi manca qualche vocabolo e mi blocco mi aiuta e scrive espressioni molto utili in chat. Propone argomenti interessanti su cui parlare e anche buon materiale di lettura. Inoltre, penso che il suo italiano sia anche migliore del mio :D in poche lezioni mi sento già più sicura a parlare

Birgit is a great teacher! Every lesson is very well structured with useful materials and homework. She always finds interesting topics, encouraging me to talk in German from the very first lesson. She is a very patient and supportive teacher, I would definitely recommend studying with her.
