Half the hour in English. Real conversation, real topics, gentle corrections when you want them.
Die andere halbe Stunde auf Deutsch. Echte Gespraeche, echte Themen, sanfte Korrekturen.
I am Elena, 17, bilingual thanks to an English dad and a Swiss mum. A swap is one hour at a cafe table, split down the middle like this page.
We switch at the half hour mark, no exceptions. Your weaker language gets equal air time, every session.
School, football, series, plans for the summer. You learn the words you will actually use this week.
I note slips in a small notebook and we review them in the last five minutes. No interrupting mid sentence.
All formats run one hour and include the first hot chocolate. Weekly slots or single sessions, as you like.
per session
Just the two of us. The full hour shaped around your level and your goals.
per person
Bring a friend at a similar level. More voices, more listening practice, lower price.
per session
Targeted practice for Cambridge, Goethe, or school orals, with mock questions and feedback notes.
Cafes near Enge and the lake, all quiet enough to talk and all serving proper hot chocolate. We agree the spot when you book.
Two minutes from the station, big windows, quiet before 17:00. The default choice.
Outdoor tables from spring to autumn. Conversation with a view of the Alps.
Calm corner spot near the museum, ideal for exam prep sessions.
Tell me your level in one sentence, no tests, no placement quiz. First session is a trial: if it does not click, you do not pay.
We start in German so you feel at home, then ease into English at your pace.
Wir starten auf Englisch, dann wechseln wir locker ins Deutsche, in deinem Tempo.
