Welcome

Welcome, nice to have you here. 🙂

Every language is beautiful, it carries the whole culture of that nation. Learning a language is the best way to get to know the culture, and the people in their own environment, and helps you in your integration process. Every new language opens a new world with its richness and benefits. Learning a new language also provides more opportunities in your career and business. And last but not least, learning a language is also a proven exercise for your mind that keeps your brain active and healthy, as well as allows you to think more flexibly.  You can never be too old to start learning a new language.

That is why I love to learn and teach languages. The variety of people and the connection to them enriches my life. I enjoy giving my knowledge to other people and seeing their growth and carrying them on their way. My classes are held with the goal to provide everybody the opportunity to learn the language without any stress and fears. Enjoying learning is already a half success. The rest depends on you.

Pros and cons learning with me 🙂

Pros

- You learn what you need, in the way and with the tools, which suit you
- You save a lot of time and money, because:
1. You don't have to waste time with looking for materials, everything is provided according to your needs
2. Lessons are structured to maximize your progress
3. Lessons are practical, you use what you learned
4. Online support: you can ask me anything between the lessons
- We use a variety of tools to keep the lessons interesting
- Homework: you have the possibility to practice between the lessons
- You learn much more than you would learn alone with a book
- You will enjoy learning 🙂

Cons

- I like to challenge you to keep you motivated
- I do not give up and skip things if you do not understand them
- You have to speak a lot during the classes
- The time will pass quickly during the lessons
- I give you honest reviews about your stand, level etc.
- Regardless of your goals, it is most likely that you have to learn some grammar if you would like to communicate correctly
- I can give you all the tools you need and help you, but I do not have a magic pill for you. You have to learn to achieve your goals.

About the website

You can find different classes and courses offered by Noctua Languages. As I try to match everybody’s needs, I am open to other requests. If you are looking for some kind of class, which is not listed, please do not hesitate to contact me! I will do my best to find a way to help you.

As you will see, two main class types are offered. One is private lessons for individuals (and couples), and the other one is “The special deal” course, which is a combination of small group classes and private lessons for each member of the group class. More information about the different lesson types, you can find in the appropriate sessions. I offer different types of classes for companies as well, please contact me in case of interest.

I have a separate session for people living in Switzerland, as I have a special connection to the topic. If you live in Switzerland, don’t miss out on this page, I really hope, you will find it helpful. I can help you with your integration process in Switzerland during our classes as we can talk about the different aspects and specialties of daily life, work, education, society, the health system, and so on. I can prepare you for the Swiss-specific fide exam as well. 

In the session Treasure Trove, you can find some useful information (links, downloads, materials) to help you to gain your learning goals.

Enjoy your trip on the website, and I hope to welcome you to a class.
