How long have you been teaching for and how long for Cactus?

I have been teaching German in Manchester at Cactus Language since 2015. 

How long have you been living in the UK?

I arrived in Manchester 5 years ago.

Where were you born and what is the city famous for?

I grew up in Bayreuth, a town in the north of Bavaria. My home town is famous for Richard Wagner’s opera house and the area is well known for great beer from small local breweries and delicious food.

What is your degree and teaching experience?

I studied German Language and Literature, plus Scandinavian Languages.

Have you ever worked in another field?

I achieved  my “Textile printing and Design” certificate in Denmark followed by my “Embroidery and Design” certificate here in the UK and still enjoy working in this field.

What is your favourite book and why?

The “Reader’s Digest Universal Dictionary” I bought at a car boot sale a few years ago. I take pictures from the pages with my mobile phone and read them when I am on the bus, train or plane. I love exploring new, strange or funny words which I can use  for my art work and daily life.

Do you have specific language learning tips?

Enjoy what you do! Language lives from speaking and mistakes help you to learn.

Bis bald, hoffentlich treffen wir uns beim Deutschlernen in Manchester!
