Hi, my name is Beth

and I am the person behind Mother Tongue Berlin. Originally from Wales, I have been living in Germany for over 20 years and have both British and German citizenship. I have a degree in German and am a certified teacher of German as a foreign language.

I completely understand how little time us parents have to learn a foreign language. I will help you communicate in German, putting less stress on grammar and more on understanding and being understood.

There are many hurdles you will encounter when learning German, I can help you with those. I have probably come up against them myself and can offer advice and specific support. Both of my children were born in Berlin, so I have already been through many of the processes you will encounter. I can offer advice and guidance if you have questions about the system here.

I understand how being a parent makes you inflexible when it comes to attending language classes. I offer 1-2-1 classes which are tailored to your needs.

Get in touch via the contact form, we can work something out!
