Outstanding German Communication Skills

Our central goal is to help expats and business travellers in Germany develop outstanding communication skills through 1:1 coaching, LIVE weekly group sessions, special courses, access to a large and carefully curated resource library, and so much more.

How do we do that? What do I get inside?

Active 24/7 Forum


From complete beginners to near-native level speakers, every expat and business traveller in Germany is welcome to join the supportive Better German Community Hive.

Connect and interact with like-minded professionals any time of the day, ask and answer questions, share experiences, and stay motivated.

LIVE Weekly Group Sessions

Join our scheduled, professionally led weekly group live sessions! They are divided by language level (Beginners/intermediate Q&A and Conversation sessions, and advanced Debating Society) and engage with fellow professionals and me in real-time, and have fun! Ask questions and practise speaking in a supportive environment, and I will ensure the consistency and quality of the personalised feedback.
