AVOID ANALYSIS PARALYSIS 🇩🇪
Here’s how 😎⤵️
Speak right away! Connect first with the beat, the sound, speed and melody of the German language. 💃🏻💃🏻
I see so many students who are trapped in the grammar rules and tables and find it difficult to speak. Instead of speaking they get “analysis paralysis”. They’re constantly analyzing in their heads if what they’re about to say is correct or not 🫣 Yes I know this because I used to do the same!!🤫
How I wish I had a teacher who encouraged me to speak more often, someone who showed me what I can say instead of bombarding me with all those grammar rules and tables 😅
Get your copy of these One-Liners and thank me later..🤓
I’m rooting for you every step of the way!🇩🇪

My three top ingredients for speaking flowy German 🗣️
Felt like writing today in German 😅
Hope the IG translation works
1. Aussprache - das A und O 💯
Deine „perfekte“ Grammatik nutzt dir nichts, wenn du dein Gegenüber dich nicht verstehst, weil du unklar, undeutlich, “undeutsch” immer noch klingst 😬🫣 Ich weiß, das mag hart klingen, ist aber 💯 wahr!🙈
2. Sprachmelodie, Intonation, and the german beat 🎶
Jede Sprache hat eine Melodie, und wir sollten diese nicht nur kennen, sondern auch spüren. (You gotta feel the german way of saying things..!!) You ideally bring the same energy and intonation in your native tongue to German - that’s the sweet spot to get you sounding German while maintaining your identity 😉
3. Sprechgeschwindigkeit oder Sprechtempo
Oft achten wir nicht darauf, weil wir uns oft auf die Grammatik konzentrieren 🙈😅. Das Sprechen verlangt JEDOCH (!) mehr als nur die Grammatik. Dazu kommen die Betonung, die Pausen, Füllwörter da zwischen (nur ein bisschen 😉), natürlich auch eine Menge „Wortschatz“, damit man so nah wie möglich an das „authentische Sprechen“ kommt.
Which are you having “difficulty” with?
1. Aussprache?
2. Sprachmelodie?
3. Sprechgeschwindigkeit?
Eins, zwei oder drei? 1,2 oder 3? 🇩🇪

Do you want to speak more flowy German? 🗣️
Then read this⤵️
➡️ Focus on COMMUNICATION not perfection
Most of the time we tend to focus on trying to perfectly string sentences together that we forget it’s all about being able to talk and actually communicate with people, like the lady at the bus stop, the „Hausmeister“, your neighbor, your kid‘s school teacher, the barista at your favorite coffee shop. If we focus on communicating rather than just solely focusing on grammar, then I guarantee 💯 that you will be speaking more flowy German soon 💃🏻
➡️ Immerse yourself in as many German media you can find
I remember watching my favorite english movies in German. By doing this I got exposed to the tone, rhythm and melody of the german language. By exposing myself to German media, I naturally got used to how it sounded. Slowly I got used to hearing myself speak German.
➡️ Start a journal in German ✍️
I remembered my first German teacher in Germany. She came from China but studied in Germany. She told me to write everyday and that she would check it everyday. And so I did. And lo and behold, I saw the mistakes I was writing. And because I saw them I could change them.
🇩🇪 Get a newspaper or a book and read it out loud
I still do this every single day. This practices my pronunciation, my speed and helps me learn new words while training my spoken German.

READ THIS IF YOU FIND GERMAN INTIMIDATING ⤵️
I remember learning German and feeling so intimidating just by the sheer thought of it. 😅🫣 I didn’t know there was a much easier way to start the whole German learning journey until much later when I became a teacher and saw my students struggle to learn German.
It was the same situation everyday - they felt scared in German class, they felt they were too old to learn (I felt it too by the way) - they had many preconceptions and rumors about “hard the German language is”, they felt hopeless and because of this energy, it made the whole thing harder. Soooo I looked for a way to make it simpler for them - to show them that it is doable.
Now I’m sharing with you my secret to how I make students learn much faster. I remove their fear and intimidation by showing them how much easier it can be & I do this through the use of
➡️”cognates”
Cognates are those words which resemble the original word.
And guess what?! There are so many in the German language & these can also be found in russian, spanish, french and english!!!
By activating these “passive words” which btw, already exist in your vocabulary, you pave the way for a more fun, “I-can-do-this” attitude which is a much more effective approach to learning German.
Now you’re in for a treat because I’m sharing here with you the same thing I taught my students - it’s a mini course which i’ve called 🚀”CRACK THE CODE” 🚀
This mini course is for you if you want to learn German but are feeling hesitant because you intimidated by everything you’ve heard from other German learners. Here’s what you’ll find inside:
✅ Mini-dictionary to show you that you already know a LOT of words and help you eliminate the feeling of being intimidated
✅ Crash course on phonetics, not your usual ABC pronunciation
✅ Speak Along Videos so you can see how much more easier it can be
💯Keine Angst!
💯Keine Panik!
💯 I GOT YOU
How to give someone a compliment in German ⤵️
Let’s make it easy:
➡️ Das ist (insert your adjective)
➡️ “toll, spitze, schön, schick, elegant”
Alternatively you can say⤵️
➡️ “Das steht dir” (that looks good on you) 💃🏻
➡️ “Das steht dir wirklich gut” (really looks good on you) 😻
If you want questions, just switch it:
“Steht mir das..?”
