Alison from Britain/Germany

Hello, my name is Alison and I live in Germany and have been teaching English for the past fourteen years. I was born in London to a Welsh family and grew up in Herefordshire, a county on the Welsh border. I trained as a classical ballet dancer and spent fifteen years dancing around theatres in Germany and Austria before getting married and having three wonderful children.
For the past 28 years I have been writing reviews for Dance Europe, a bi-monthly dance magazine that covers ballet and contemporary productions from all over Europe and beyond. I also used to work in the German school system looking after students in the after school clubs helping them with their English and French homework. I enjoy reading, walking, theatre and art, in fact anything cultural interests me, and of course languages!

Dear Luisa,
Please don‘t worry about it, I have sent a message to the team explaining what happened and asked what the trouble was and how we can sort it out but I won‘t get an answer until Monday. I‘ll be very happy to tutor you again so hopefully it will work out for a time next week. Have a good weekend and see you soon. Best wishes, Alison

Hallo Alison, here is a note to the reader. I‘ll use the example in our lesson tomorrow.

Hy Alison,
we will meet on Friday. I’m looking forward to our live lesson. It’s a pleasure to learn with a classical ballet dancer. My husband and I are great Opera fans. I love “La Traviata”, my husbands favorite opera is “Il barbiere di Sevilla”. We saw this opera on his 50th birthday in Scala in Milano Italy. It was amazing. The season 2020/2021 should be our first ballet season but Corona kills all our phantastic plans.
Have a good time and stay safe!

Thank you Klaus, Schauspieler, your next profession! Well done!

Liebe Alison
ein großes Sorry für heute. Es tut so leid, dass die Live-Lektion heute nicht funktioniert hat. Ich hatte kein Internet und wo es dann endlich wieder ging was das Zeitfenster geschlossen und ich konnte mich nicht mehr einwählen.

Ein wirklich gutes Sorry fĂźr heute
Natalie

Liebe Natalie, kein Problem, ist nicht schlimm, mach‘ dir keine Sorgen. Wir sehen uns nächste Woche. Liebe Grüße
Alison

@ThreedeeNT I am so sorry I had to cancel the lesson at short notice yesterday evening. I was travelling back from the UK and unfortunately my journey was delayed by many hours so I did not arrive home in time as expected. My sincere apologies. I am back now and hope to see you again soon. Best wishes
