Business German for international professionals
You know your field. In German, it doesn't show yet. I train international professionals to speak Business German with confidence in meetings, presentations and interviews.
8 minutes online. Then, if you like, a free 20-minute call with me.
Sound familiar?
You translate in your head. Someone else answers first. You wanted to say it. You didn't get there in time.
You present, someone asks a question, and you're not sure you understood it. So you answer the wrong one. Or you say nothing.
You have invested years in German. At B1 or above, the next step is not more vocabulary. It is speaking with ease when it counts.
AI can write your email. It can't speak for you in the interview, the meeting or at the coffee machine. That part is you. So we train it.
"I can now hold a conversation about something complicated without thinking that I am speaking in German. I don't second-guess myself anymore."Elena Granina · Senior Partnerships & Channel Leader

When a word is gone, a question comes out of nowhere, or someone interrupts you. Ten sentences my clients call life-saving. They keep you calm and in charge, plus the two-second pause that makes them work.

Every session follows the same three steps, built on your real workplace situations and on established communication research, including the work of behavioral researcher Vanessa Van Edwards (Science of People) on confidence, presence and first impressions. Grammar is part of it, as a tool, never as the goal.
Remove what stops the German you already have.
German is the language of efficiency. Speak it that way.
Understand the question and answer it with confidence.

About
A few years ago I did something many people only dream about. I packed up my life in Germany, moved to Spain with zero Spanish, and built a completely new base from scratch.
New language, new culture, new rules. I know exactly how it feels to have something important to say while the language is still catching up. Since then I have lived and worked all over the world, in a new country every few months. By choice. Every new culture trains the same skill I train with you: reading people fast and finding the right words when it counts. Sometimes that meant standing in a supermarket in Vietnam, translator app open, just to find the sugar free coffee.
Before that, I spent ten years at IBM in sales. Tough negotiations, client meetings, presentations where every sentence mattered. That is where I learned what makes someone sound smart and senior, and what makes a room listen.
My roots are in German itself. I graduated from the University of Hamburg with an M.A. in German and American Studies. Clear, standard German is my native tool, and I know how the language works from the inside.
Today I bring it all together: the corporate experience, the linguistic depth and the courage of someone who keeps starting over in new languages. So you can speak German at work with the confidence you already have in your field.

Questions
Train the real situations, not textbook topics. We work on your meetings, presentations and interviews, with the grammar and phrases you need for exactly those moments, and we practice under pressure until it becomes automatic.
It's Business German and communication training. You learn German, including grammar, but always as a tool for a real work situation. The goal is how you come across, not a test score.
From about B1. If you understand a lot but freeze when you speak, you're in the right place. The free Business German Test shows where you stand.
Most clients feel a difference after the first session, and a real transformation after three months.
Yes. I train international teams online or in-house: small groups, workshops and Goethe or telc exam preparation. See "For companies".
