What do I do?
Women who somehow become quiet in German. Even though in their first language, they are anything but quiet.
This is the pattern I know. From 15 years of teaching. From my own research. From hundreds of conversations with women who actually know German, but still cannot show it when it matters.
There are courses that explain grammar. My work begins somewhere else.
1:1 with Nina
BE FRESH – The targeted sprint
5 Sessions · €350
You know German. But something feels rusty, unclear, or just not quite you yet. A situation is coming up, a conversation, an appointment, and you want to be prepared. Not somehow. Truly prepared.
Five sessions. One clear goal. We work exactly where it hurts.
“I have something important ahead of me. I want to get this right.”
BE READY – Ready for what matters
10 Sessions · €650
A job interview. A new position. An environment where you suddenly have to function in German, professionally, convincingly, as the person you really are.
We work on what stands between you and that moment. Nothing more. Nothing less.
“I really need to be ready.”
BE CONFIDENT – Where something fundamentally changes
20 Sessions · €1.200 or 2 × €600
You stop translating in your head. You stop hesitating when someone expects something from you in German. Not because you suddenly know more, but because your nervous system has stopped treating German as a threat.
Your voice becomes yours again. In German, too.
“I want to stop holding myself back.”
BE SKILLED – Done with “almost fluent”
30 Sessions · €1.710 or 2 × €900 or 3 × €600
You no longer want almost. You want to speak German in a way that makes you recognizable. With your precision, your humor, your way of saying things.
That takes time and depth. And a way of working that understands how language truly becomes anchored, not through repetition, but through real safety.
“I want to become the person who speaks German as if it were truly her.”
Business German
We work on what you actually need. Client conversations. Emails that don’t read like a translation. The meeting with your manager that you’ve been putting off for weeks. Negotiations where you don’t want the language to be the reason you’re not fully there.
Business German isn’t a special vocabulary. It’s the feeling that the language doesn’t slow you down when it matters.
Exam Preparation
Every client I’ve prepared for an exam has passed. Some exceeded what they thought they could do. That’s not a promise. It’s something I’ve been watching happen for 14 years.
As an ÖIF-certified trainer and VWU-accredited lecturer, I prepare for the Austrian integration exam and the Supplementary Examination in German (EPD). We work specifically toward the test format. Not general language practice. That happens on the side.
Conversation with Nina
In the Deutschclub, you talk. That’s the point. Small group, expat women, once a week live online. You show up because you want to speak, not because you have to.
From B1 to C2. The groups are small enough that everyone actually gets to speak. So it doesn’t happen that you sit through 90 minutes, listen to everyone else, and leave without having said much.
