How will Speak Confident German Help You Get Fluent in German?
Speak Confident German was specifically created with the English speaker in mind. As a linguist, polyglot and academic, I want to empower you to feel confident speaking and understanding German.
On this website, you will find bilingual content, all created to support your journey to learning, improving and mastering German. With over twenty years of experience teaching German, I know precisely what challenges an English speaker may face when learning German.
Likewise, I know the similarities between the two languages and often use a comparative approach in our lessons to help you identify patterns and learn German most efficiently.
What is the Methodology?
I explain important concepts in English
Learning a new language is challenging, but when you don’t understand a concept because the explanations are in German, it makes it that much harder (and frustrating) for you.
I'll remove this hurdle for you and explain important concepts clearly using various examples so that you can absorb the information more easily and quickly.
Functional approach to grammar
When you want to learn or improve your German (or any language), you need to focus on fluency and accuracy.
Fluency-focused activities help you with the overall natural flow of conversation, allowing you to express meaning.
Accuracy-focused grammar activities help you be correct when you communicate, and they help prevent mistakes.
I teach German grammar in a very accessible and learner-friendly manner that will not overwhelm you. As a result, German grammar becomes second nature to you, a means of successfully organizing and communicating your thoughts in German.
A progressive, step-by-step roadmap
At the beginning of your language learning journey, it is normal not to know where to start and what to learn next.
At Speak Confident German, all lessons are structured in the optimum way to learn the right thing at the right time.
You get a ton of opportunities to practice and test all the new material you’ve just learned. You always walk away knowing exactly how everything works. This way, you steadily feel more and more confident to say what you want in German.
Real German right from the beginning
If your goal is to speak German confidently with your colleagues, family and friends and understand what they say, then you will appreciate the exposure to real, everyday German as it is spoken by the people.
All lessons contain the right amount of spoken German, presented clearly but naturally.
Moreover, you are not just a passive listener, but you get to participate and speak German yourself.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY...
If you have never taken an online language course, tried other programs or methods, and never got too far because you felt alone, you might hesitate to learn German online.
But with Speak Confident German, you are never alone!
The experience of learning German with me is like having your private teacher there with you, guiding you every step of the way. With easy-to-follow step-by-step lessons available 100% online, you never feel lost, not knowing what to do next.
In addition, the courses include weekly live sessions with me to connect with you, answer your questions, and provide a more meaningful German learning experience.
What my students say ...
Thanks to Diana, I was able to learn German quickly. She has extensive knowledge of the material and introduces intricate grammatical concepts with a high degree of clarity. She creates an environment that is highly amenable to learning.

I personally found Diana’s teaching style very conducive to learning. The organization of her courses was particularly good – she was able to cover all of the information in a time span that enabled me to fully understand and practice the material. The course focused a great deal on speaking, and I thought that was a very important factor in learning a different language.

I needed German when I moved to Berlin for work. I started learning it with Diana. At the time, I could hardly speak any German words and was a little bit skeptical about online learning. Now, however, I have already passed the Goethe B2 test and have hardly any problem speaking German in daily conversations. Diana gave me the tools to improve it. Vielen Dank!
