Learning a language is an adventure — you don't have to do it alone

I grew up in Hamburg and studied Germanistik — German linguistics and literature. I've taught at schools in Germany, working with children, teenagers, and adults. Then I moved to Poland, and suddenly I was the one learning a new language from scratch.

That experience changed how I teach. I understand the frustration of not finding the right word, the awkwardness of making mistakes, and the huge confidence boost that comes when you finally express yourself clearly.

At germanbymax.com, I bring all of that into every lesson — patience, structure, and real-world focus.

Mistakes are part of learning. My lessons are a safe space — calm, structured, and completely pressure-free.

🌍

Real-World German

I focus on the German you'll actually use — at work, at the Bürgeramt, with neighbours, in meetings.
