Hello and Namaste. My name is CHRISTIAN and a native German speaker with an over 20 year residency in the United States. I have worked over 25 years in the Media Business in various positions and countries (from production management and creative development, to financing and post production in dubbing/versioning). All my live I have enjoyed learning about different languages and foreign cultures, and aside from the US of A, have been leaving my footprints in South America, the Middle East and South East Asia, where I am currently residing with my family (see my title 
) For some time now I have worked as a German/English language teacher at a renowned Language Academy in South America (online) and I really fell in love with it. Hence I am really excited to joining the Chatterbug Community and looking forward to many exciting lessons here - “teach and be open to be taught” being my motto. Aside from my native German tongue, I am quite fluent in colloquial and business English (US and British), and conversational Spanish. At the moment, I am brushing up on my Bahasa Indonesia (giving the fact that I live half the year in this wonderful nation of islands). In all my years in California and now here in Bali I have not yet mastered the Surf (never say never though, right!), but I do love to explore the country and its wonders by foot or on my trusted scooter. I am truly excited to coming onboard here and look forward to learning more about this community of fellow tutors and to offering my services. I remember, when I was coming to the United States and learning English, how patient everyone was with me and how important positive feedback was. Now teaching my own native tongue to others, I want to provide the same comfort and positive feedback to the students learning this wonderful yet sometimes challenging language of German.
All the best and keep positive.
Yours truly, Christian.
