Great! I’m Alice. I studied languages and have a teacher’s certificate in German as a foreign language from the Goethe Institute. I love learning foreign languages and would like to share this joy with you. I want you to progress quickly and above all to overcome your speech barriers. I myself have lived abroad for over 12 years. I have experienced what it means to settle in a foreign country and to overcome language barriers. I teach German as a foreign language because it gives me great pleasure to accompany and motivate you in your learning progress.
From an initial idea, I found a vocation in “German as a foreign language”.

About me
My mother tongue is German. After graduating from high school, I moved to Porto Alegre in Brazil for a year, where I did voluntary social work. There I gave English lessons to children among other things. I then completed a vocational training course in tourism with a focus on foreign languages. This was followed by numerous work experiences in tourism companies in Germany, Portugal, France and German-speaking and Italian-speaking Switzerland. I studied Romance languages and literature at the Albert-Ludwigs-University in Freiburg im Breisgau.
My qualifications
- Meanwhile I have over 1.000 hours of experience as a German online instructor. There’s an hour record here.
- Degree ( Bachelor of Arts)
I completed my Bachelor of Arts in French Media and Portuguese at the Albert-Ludwigs-University of Freiburg im Breisgau. - Certificate: Distance Learning Course: Methodology and Didactics German as a Foreign Language, Goethe Institute
In this course I have independently acquired knowledge and methods, enabling me to diversify my lessons. - My foreign language skills
My love for the Portuguese language began while I was still at school. The Portuguese language finally facilitated my access to other Romance languages. It was easy for me to understand Spanish and Italian and to use the French language during my stays in France.
My own foreign language skills now help me to understand and correct mistakes made by my German learners. In addition, they simplify communication with my German learners. I speak English, Portuguese and French. I also have basic knowledge of Spanish and Italian. - Volunteer Global Voices
I am an honorary translator at GlobalVoices:
www.globalvoices.org/?s=Alice+Scherlies
Global Voices is a community of over 800 volunteer authors, online media experts and translators from over 167 countries. - Vocational training for tourism
I completed my professional training in tourism with a focus on languages and worked in the tourism industry for many years. This experience also makes me accustomed to working in an international environment. If you also want to communicate with German-speaking guests in German, my knowledge will also help you.

How it works
Before we begin with the lessons, we arrange a non-binding meeting of about 30 to 40 minutes. We discuss your level of knowledge and the further procedure. If necessary, I will create a personal learning plan for you.
The lessons take place via Skype. If you wish, the lessons can also take place via Google – Hangout or Facebook.
