“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.”

“These types of human connections that were the highlights of my trip would have been impossible without Stefanie and Speak!“

“Stefanie has been or given me a lot of things: Confidence while I'm speaking, including the confidence to speak and keep speaking even when making errors…”

“The hardest thing to do is to have a conversation, but that is also the most fun, particularly when we talk about things in our everyday lives. Stefanie finds wonderful books, and we are now reading one called Allerlei zum Lesen, which is a compilation of short stories by German authors. The book has lots of good exercises that along with the stories make learning German a lot more enjoyable. I particularly like the crossword puzzles.“
