Immerse yourself in stories and conversations to learn German naturally and effectively!
Frustrated with traditional teaching methods
Hi! My name is Pia Koch and whan I first learned English at school I really didn't like it much. Learning more about the different cultures fascinated me but all the grammar and long long list of vocabulary frustrated me. Studying HARD wasn't really my thing. Instead I wanted to explore the variety of countries, get to know foreign people and just absorb the language.
Well, luckily I found a way to do this: I travelled to the USA and there I went to high school for a year. It turned out very well. Now, as a professional German teacher I am very well aware of the fact that not everyone can afford this. Which is why I am very happy that I came across TPRS. TPRS (teaching profieciency through reading and storytelling) is an innovative teaching method to immerse oneself into a foreign language. So you can learn German naturally without going to Germany right away, This is way more comfortable and gives to a great starting point for future travels.

Story
German native speaker
TPRS: the best way to acquire
a foreign language.
Natural Language Acquisition
By focusing on listening and storytelling, learners internalize vocabulary and grammar structures without needing to memorize rules.
Engaging & Fun
Interactive elements like acting out scenes, asking questions, and co-creating stories keep learners motivated and involved.
Reduces Anxiety
TPRS creates a low-stress learning environment by emphasizing understanding and communication rather than perfection.
Comprehensible Input
Comprehensible input is one of the most effective ways to build fluency, as it allows learners to acquire the language naturally.
Builds Speaking & Listening skills
Repetition in storytelling ensures learners become familiar with pronunciation and sentence structure.
Accelerates Fluency
Learners can develop fluency more quickly than with traditional methods. Grammar and syntax are learned intuitively through repeated exposure.

Pia hat mir Deutsch sehr gut und unkompliziert auf neuem Wege gelehrt und mir die Sorge deutsch zu sprechen genommen. Ich habe dank Pia mein C1 Hochschule Zertifikat bekommen. Vielen Dank dafür! 😊 (Engl.) Pia taught me German very well and easily in a new way and took away my worries about speaking German. Thanks to Pia, I received my C1 university certificate. Thank you for that! 😊

Pia excels at listening to student feedback and adjusting her lessons accordingly. She is willing to take the story in creative directions and/or narrow in on something particular. She knows TPRS 2.0 thoroughly, so if you're looking for a great TPRS teacher (who also happens to be teaching her native tongue) look no further!
