“Learning German has taught me that no matter how different a language is, we are all human. Being able to communicate with a person from a different culture or place shapes you as a person by allowing you to see other people’s points of view and giving you a greater understanding of the world.”

“Anne helps me with my work that I have for class and it often leads into deeper philosophical discussions about whatever I am learning. She gives me vocabulary words to memorize to help me build my vocabulary as well. Sometimes we have sessions to go over grammar. I really like her sense of humor!“

“My pandemic experience has been all-but-consistent, but having daily classes with Alejandra (or even a less intense but still regular schedule in the fall) vastly helped me through this year.
