Daniel Daubenberger

In our first meeting we start with a one on one discussion and determine your current level and goal. I want you to let me know what your goals are and study habits. Inform me of any obstacles that may effect your learning process. I make a plan to improve areas you are interested in as well as continuous conversation skills improvement. I use several types of lessons in listening, reading, writing and speaking. Some come from online exercises we can print when in person or you can complete online and send to me for correction. After each lesson we will go over the answers and identify areas we can improve. When we have in person discussions, we will practice mediation in real time using common everyday activities and events such as shopping or visits to countries where English is the common language. We will practice using various styles of English communication and navigate the slight differences between American English which I use to British English which is the standard in the German school system. During the lessons we will also use short films to gain a better understanding of the overall use of English and to demonstrate that direct translation, word for word is often incorrect and you will learn that translating the meaning is the best method. The plan is individual and varies from student to student. The goal is to find the best way you are able to learn and use English. Since August 2023 I have used this method with the students of Das andere SchulZimmer with great success. I welcome you to contact them for references.
