I finally did a FB Live of my PSA. In my determination to get it done, I forgot my microphone. Well, here it is: https://www.facebook.com/LearnGermanThroughArt/videos/555911942613599. Not perfect, but done.

Kerstin! I love what you do, and so well explained. I can relate: my husband is French, and his entire family is only French-speaking, so I was pretty motivated to learn the language!! I have done some of the apps and youtube channels and also some in-person courses. I can relate to the absolute frustration of trying to wrap my brain around…Read More

Thank you, JessicaPetter. It is so frustrating to see how many people try it alone and struggle until they abandon learning the language.

Kerstin this is great. Your paragraphs are really, clear, clean and compelling for each idea. I would consider sub-headers for some of the them. Intention; Commitment; Discipline; Communication. You might move your story up, and consider a client story. The only part that really threw me off is your title. The title felt entirely counter-intuitive…Read More

Hi Jessica,

…love your passion, it comes through here! Might it have more impact if you present your core argument point up front, like ” learning a language through fun, live interaction is way/infinitely/10X more effective than an online app”. And here’s why. I’d like to hear more about YOUR process up front; a bolder title would also convey your passion!

Hi everyone, I missed today’s class. I also have problems with the menu. I can only see the Community Forum and the Members. When I click on All Courses and Calendar, I receive the message “No results”.

I found a solution for the problem. My computer had blocked the parts of the website. I still don’t see a replay of today’s workshop.

Replay won’t be up till tomorrow. It isn’t instant.

Also, log out and log back in. Sometimes it needs to be reset. We are trying to figure out the bug exactly. If you get the error again and again and you see any trends to your clicking, let me know.

That’s what I did and it worked after I also changed the setting on my computer that blocks certain websites. While I could see the community forum and the members section, the other two sections were blocked by my computer. It is all working now.

Hi Kerstin, I liked your video. The last part about practicing with a partner and the cultural aspects felt the strongest. Maybe an example here or elsewhere would have been a nice add, but a very good job regardless.
