Speak German. Connect with Culture.A podcast and lesson series for expats who want to speak real-life German — imperfectly but meaningfully.

Hi, I’m Gerald — Austrian-born, Berlin-tested, and now based in the Peruvian jungle 🌴. I’ve taught nearly 5,000 German lessons online, helping expats speak confidently — mistakes and all.I believe German isn’t something you "perfect" before speaking — it’s something you practice by connecting with real people.

Lesson & Coaching Options
