Lia from Austria 🇦🇹

Tutor Introductions German Tutors
#1

Hi! I’m Lia, half Austrian, half German and I grew up in the beautiful Alps of Austria. :mountain_snow: After an exciting time living and studying in Milan, I’m back in Austria to finish my master’s degree.

I’ve lived in almost every federal state in Austria – which means I’ve picked up some of the country’s funniest and most charming dialects! But don’t worry – I speak clear, accent-free standard German since my mother is from Germany :de: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Beside my interest of languages and cultures, I’m also really passionate about baking, painting, gardening and traveling. :art::cupcake::earth_africa:

I know from personal experience how challenging it can be to move to a new country without speaking the language. That’s why I place a strong focus on patience, empathy, and seeing things from the learner’s perspective in my teaching.

Creating a relaxed and encouraging learning atmosphere is very important to me. I believe humor and lightness are key to making progress. You set the pace, and you’re welcome to ask any questions or make requests at any time without any pressure.

I look forward to getting to know you and supporting you on your journey to learning German!

Best, Lia

UPDATE: CHATTERBUG IS COMING TO AN END…

Hi everyone,

after five wonderful years with Chatterbug, this chapter is coming to an end, but my passion for teaching German continues. :de::austria:

After teaching 1,200+ lessons on Chatterbug, I’m so grateful for everything this journey has given me. I started out as a student who had just moved to Milan, learning a foreign language and discovering a new culture myself.

Thank you to all my amazing students, and to the Chatterbug team, for making this experience so special! 🥹🙌🏼

I’ll be continuing with private 1:1 German lessons starting March 1st. If you’d like to keep learning with me (or start fresh), just send me a message at germanwithlia@gmail.com . Lessons are online via Google Meet.

Best wishes and talk to you soon (hopefully)!
Lia

Na @Lia12!

Es tut mir leid, dass ich unsere Stunde verpasst habe. :man_facepalming: Ich besuche meine Familie und Freunde in England. I didn’t realise I had to change the Chatterbug time zone, I thought it was automatic. I really enjoyed our first lesson and was looking forward to our second. Mi dispiace.

Bis zum nächsten mal
Alan

Hello @Lia12! I just lost temporarily my internet connection and when it came back you couldn’t hear me anymore. After that the call ended and I was not able to connect again. Now the live session shows as terminated.

Hi Lia. Alles gut? Do you plan to schedule any more lessons next week (commencing 17 Oct) ? I only ask as I have one credit left that needs to be used in 4 days and I got to Belgium for a few days tomorrow :slight_smile:
MFG, Alan

best, lia

Na. Fantastisch, danke. Nächste mittwoch klingt gut :slight_smile:

Hi Lia. It looks like I’ve book this Wednesday today instead of next :grimacing: . I won’t be able to make it, I’ll be travelling. Really sorry, I was rushing. I’d love it if you could cancel so I don’t lose credit. No problem if not though, it’s my own fault. Have a great rest of the week and weekend. LG, Alan

Lia, Hast du immer noch zeit heute um halb acht? Ich habe von dir die Nachricht behalten und hatte geantwortet. Sag mir Bescheid, ob wir treffen können.

Lia, diese Woche kann ich mich am Dienstag und Donnerstag nach 17 Uhr EST oder am Mittwoch oder Freitag ab 7 Uhr EST (13 Uhr Ihrer Zeit) treffen. Lasst dich mich wissen, wann es für dich passt.
