I'm Thomas Inauen, a 38-year-old from Appenzell, Switzerland, now living in Tokyo, Japan. I originally trained as a carpenter, but my passion for martial arts and acrobatics led me to follow this path all the way to Japan. I’ve been practicing Aikido and acrobatics for many years and work independently as an instructor in both fields. Alongside this, I’m also passionate about languages and enjoy helping people learn. I love how mastering new skills opens doors, and I’m here to support you on your journey too.
Ik als leerkracht
I’ve been a dedicated italki tutor for 4 years, gaining valuable experience with diverse students. Additionally, I have over 8 years of experience coaching acrobatics online with a global audience. I’ve also assisted Japanese Aikido teachers in Switzerland as a translator. These experiences have enriched my teaching skills and deepened my understanding of effective communication.
Recently, I launched my YouTube channel, 'Swiss German Storytime,' featuring engaging content on reading and listening comprehension. I also run a Patreon page with Swiss German materials to support your learning.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
In my classes, we will primarily focus on conversation, as I believe it’s one of the most effective ways to learn a language. We can discuss any topics that interest you, and I will provide corrections and introduce new vocabulary along the way. Feel free to ask any questions, and if you’re facing challenges with grammar, we can address those together.
If you have specific topics or questions you’d like to cover, please let me know before the lesson and share any relevant materials, such as PDFs or pictures. I’m open to suggestions and aim to create the best possible learning experience for you!
I look forward to seeing you in class soon!
Best regards,
Thomas

Keuze van de leerkracht
I am surprised by how much Swiss German I can understand after taking lessons with Thomas for such a short time. The conversation are always interesting, and I enjoy learning about the Swiss Culture as well as current geopolitical issues. The learning materials provided by Thomas are well-made and offer a variety of reading/testing material (often with links to videos - those are my favorite!). Looking forward to learning more vocabulary and improving my sentence structure!

I can highly recommend Thomas for Swiss German lessons. There are not so many training materials and teachers working in this area (dialekt) and Thomas does it very well - he is patient when I try to practice , stays focused the entire lesson, makes good examples to explain a rule, collects all notes , shares exercises/videos - basically whatever is needed to learn and to progress. Many thanks Thomas for your support and great contribution to make Swiss German much closer to those who struggles to learn it.

Thomas is an outstanding German tutor. He is always engaged and 100% focused during each class. He is easy to talk to and makes learning enjoyable. The notes he shares after every session are meticulously prepared and have significantly helped me improve my language skills.

Especially I like our conversation about differences in different languages. This helps me to better understand and remember logic, and how German-language works. Thomas always supports my interest in this aspect and provides fulfilling examples and explanations.

I am really enjoying our casual conversations and all the extra links and reading material provided by Thomas. Swiss German doesn't sound so foreign now and I can understand much more than before. Thomas is patient and provides good explanations of new words, now I just need to study more!
