Welcome to Mother Tongue Berlin!

German lessons for parents in Berlin

If you are a parent in Berlin and are looking to learn German with a private tutor in the comfort of your own home – willkommen!

German is a tough language to learn, let’s be honest. But you can do it! I know, because I did it myself. I am a native English speaker who has successfully mastered the der, die, das -ing and all those scary cases which worry nearly all German learners. I have 30 years experience of learning this language and would love to share my knowledge with you.

Life is hard enough as a parent in a foreign country, but getting to grips with the local language will help you feel much less isolated and will enrich your experience here in Germany.
