About Me
italki teacher since Jan 4, 2017
For me, languages are an art, not a science. Since my childhood, I've always been surrounded by at least two languages. Now I'm learning my eighth. Looking at both kids and adults, I figured out that they essentially face the same challenge, the only difference being that the child learns completely unconsciously. So I wanted to know: How do you get adults to imitate the unconscious learning strategies of a child? Yes, it works. It works amazingly!

Very entertaining. Also my first time to meet someone who really cares about my needs and don't abide by a predefined agenda. Also the tips and hacks he gave me for acquiring the target language and assimilating its content are invaluable.

With Jan's "brain friendly" methodology for learning languages I was able to remember all of the words that we discussed and I practiced last week. We have chosen movie and tv show quotes to concentrate on in the last two classes, which is a topic of interest to me - another key to enjoyable and effective learning. Thank you, Jan! See you next week.

I really love Jan's lessons. He has tonnes of knowledge about the origins of words which I find really interesting. It also helps a lot with remembering new words and making better guesses at the meaning of new words. I also liked his energy levels and the lesson pace. Thanks Jan

Jan is an exceptional teacher! Not only does he have a unique method of teaching German (or any language for that matter); he is also incredibly knowledgeable in various topics. This makes conversations with him very enjoyable and enlightening. I totally look forward to each lesson and I must admit, I feel almost sad when the lesson is over. It actually feels more like play than work and yet I realize I’m learning. I highly recommend Jan as a teacher. If you’re planning on taking German lessons, definitely give Jan a try.

After my trial lesson with Jan I am very excited to continue my German studies with him! His focus is on fun and interactive teaching which is exactly what I am looking for! I would definitely recommend Jan to anyone who is serious about authentically learning a new language!
