After all, it has great words like "Handschuh" (literally hand shoe, the German word for "glove") and "Schildkröte" (a shielded toad, that's what we call turtles)!Fast results guaranteed as long as you're a good student and follow my lessons and recommendations! (Both for German and Spanish)A little bit about myself:My name is Adrian and I'm a native German and Spanish tutor with over 7 years of experience teaching students of all levels and ages.

My favourite part about language teaching is the way that every lesson must be curated to the student, to the vocabulary, grammar, and much more that goes into allowing a student to grow their own voice in a foreign language. My teaching style is therefore highly personalised and I am always curious how I can help my students learn more effectively and feel more engaged in the process.My own linguistic background is that I have 4 A* GCSEs in French, German, Latin, and Ancient Greek (the latter two at 99.5% each), two As at A-level in French and German, and I have recently completed a degree in...
