Dr. Carola G    PHD with Degree in Swedish and German Linguistics - Arctic researcher, PHD in Biology offering fun and interactive Swedish and German lessons

Willkommen bei Strømmen! Välkommen hos Strømmen!

I am a teacher for German and Swedish and would love to work with you using a fun, personalized and interactive approach to help you reach your language goals and better navigate the world!

I grew up in Berlin and Lund (Sweden) where I studied Biology and German and Swedish linguistics and literature. I conducted research in the Arctic and Antarctic and graduated with a PhD in Biology from Lund University, Sweden. My research projects, my teaching assignments and my involvement in international folk dance have given me the opportunity to get to know languages and cultures across Europe (including Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, the UK, Greece, Spain), Canada and the US. On many occasions I have experienced first hand how it feels when using inappropriate words or phrases or using them in an inadequate context. All of which created a steep daily learning curve that my students now are benefiting from. Also I am always in the process of learning a foreign language myself - for now it's Spanish - to stay in touch with a learner`s experience. This way I can support your learning progress much better!

Between 2000 and 2016 I was based in Los Angeles where I provided language and cross-cultural training both face-to-face and online. For now my home base is Germany (Berlin). Over the past 24 years I have successfully prepared more than 200 students for their travel, study abroad, work visits or relocation to Europe by providing language and cross-cultural communication training and logistical support.

Welcome to become one of them!
