I loved the course with Andrea! She is an excellent teacher, makes the classes very interesting and the atmosphere in our group has been amazing!

The course helped me a lot to understand the rules of Swiss German, expand my vocabulary and most important – to speak!

Your class exceeded my expectations!  I really enjoyed the format, the classmates, your energy and professionalism. I have felt so much more confident listening to Swiss German over the past weeks, and your lessons have given me the confidence to interact with locals much more.

The course was great, it was by far the most fun type of language course I have ever had! The time passed by so fast, because classes were really interactive and the subjects were all related to our daily lives. I loved the course and would like to continue having classes with Andrea!

One of the best teachers I have ever had. Andrea’s passion to teaching Swiss German can be easily seen during the class throughout the interaction with students, in videos of her creation, and in the book of her creation. The structure of the class is simple, repeatable, and allows to learn during the class.

Finally a course where you really learn and understand Swissgerman. I started with the idea of just getting to know a couple of expressions, but the course is much more than this. With very practical lessons you get to understand and also to speak without effort. The content of the classes is so cool!

Andrea is such a nice person. She knows how to create a very relaxed and fun learning environment. She has a modern teaching approach with multimedia material and it is always mixed with something funny. Andrea is super patient, kind, empathic person. I can’t wait to have the chance to meet her again.

The time I spent with Andrea and others during our course was really nice and effective. Andrea is a great teacher. Open minded, always perfectly prepared to the class and gives a lot of space for her students to express themselves. No judging, no pressure, no boundaries.
