Umlaut - Learn German When and Where You Want

HistoryI've always been familiar with foreign languages. I started English classes at 3 and never really stopped. I've always been very fond of my own language, finding it amusing and rewarding to truly understand it and use it to convey feelings and thoughts. I'm a writer and a few years back, helping a couple of friends, I translated their movie's subtitles into English. Suddenly realizing how often inaccurate translations are, I decided to start my own company.SpecialtiesAs a writer living in a foreign country, I'm daily confronted with the subtleties and differences of the two languages I speak. I'm extremely meticulous when working and especially value nuanced translations that truly reflect the author's intention, intonation and style. Moreover, I keep a very close eye on grammar and orthography, too often neglected.

SpecialtiesI specialize in customized lessons and tutoring for those who want to learn or improve their Spanish for traveling, business, or school. Also, I'm here to help your child improve his/her school grades. I'll work with their Spanish curriculum and requirements to achieve top results. My Spanish lessons are for all ages and levels and tailored to each student's pace, interests, and goals (including technical language for specific career goals or businesses). Students will learn how to communicate in everyday scenarios through games and re-enacting exercises. These fun lessons incorporate all areas of the Spanish language: grammar, oral expression, listening, reading, and writing. I also offer Conversational Spanish for those who want to improve their oral fluency. In addition, my students learn about Latin/Spanish culture, slang, traditions, music, movies, food, etc. Skype Spanish lessons are also available!
