Great questions, Donna!

Hello Donna, thanks for the suggestion. While I mention it when I talk about my courses, I should add: Are you worried about your artistic skills? If you can draw stick men, you can participate. I don’t teach you how to draw but how to use visual images that help you to remember new vocabulary.

I like this a lot. It does feel a little cut & dry. May get a little granular. How does the class have fun. Is there a particular fun exercise that you do, would it be okay to mention something about it. I’m wondering if any of your students have some funny stories about a situation where their conversational skill came in handy. Getting…Read More

Hello Joel, I appreciate your feedback. With every month of Content Personality Club, I update my website. Karen Joy Fritz had also some great ideas. My website was just relaunched. We are still ironing out issues. I should be able to do my own updates by next week. Therefore, I have not added the September update. Please check it out at…Read More

Here is step 2 of the message, the story outline:
Immigrating to Canada, I had the language skills after a two-year certification as a foreign language correspondent. While I could perform oral business translations, I did not dare to talk to people. During the full-time programme, the goal was perfection. However, we never practiced improvised…Read More

Great draft – my recommendation would you warm this up with wayyy more emotion (I know this is hard for some cultures). Here’s a rewrite so you get the gist:
I was so afraid of everyone thinking I was stupid, that I practiced my new language with our puppy–who I knew would not be judgemental and would be willing to listen! After immigrating to…Read More

Thanks, Shannon, I see what you mean. I will see what I can do.

I’m wondering if you can also make a joke about the puppy’s conversation improving as well.

@Joel, that is not a bad idea. I will see if I can add that.

Second draft:
When I immigrated to Canada, I had the language skills to thrive in my new country after a two-year certification as a foreign language correspondent. While I could confidently perform oral business translations, I did not dare to talk to people. During the full-time programme, the goal was perfection. However, we never practiced…Read More

Reworking my vision statement from May:
I believe the combination of language and art instruction for German learners in a supportive community facilitates studying, enriches their lives and promotes understanding.
I would love some feedback. I teach German by using simple art projects to visualize new content to help memorization and…Read More

Good job! What about this (looking to warm this up a little): I believe German learners learn best with a combination of language + art instruction–in a highly supportive community.

Thanks, Shannon. It is exactly my vision.

I like this overall Kerstin, short and to the point. I wonder if you could include something that confirms I do not need to be an “artist” to enjoy this course, and also something to encourage me if I know absolutely “no German” now. Just to clarify who this program is for in a bit more detail.
