Wolof is the most spoken language in Senegal and Gambia. I've designed the course for people who would like to learn to speak wolof either for family reasons or traveling.

In this course you will learn to speak Wolof in basic everyday settings, grammar and depending on your goals we can dig deeper in the language.

I have also family background in Gambia, and currently living in Gambia. I am not a native speaker but learned Wolof as my second language since child. I can offer help in understanding the language and reach a certain level. I will be teaching the Wolof spoken in Gambia.

About Me

I am a kind and patient teacher who wants to make language learning fun and relaxed.
I design my classes according to the student's needs and learning ways.

My native language is Finnish and I learned Wolof as my second language, because of my background. I have concluded one year intensive Wolof studies as a part of my Bachelor's degree. Currently I am living in Gambia and speaking Wolof daily. Obviously, I cannot offer you a native level understanding of the language, but I can teach you the structure and grammar of the language.

My goal as a teacher is to help students to become courageous in using the language they are learning and to have the tools to keep learning the language. My main goal is to help you to reach a goal where you can have conversations in Wolof. Repetition and conversation will play a big part in my classes.

As my academic background lies in linguistics and African studies, I want to engage the culture in the language learning. Understanding the culture will help us to understand the language as well, I believe they go hand in hand.

As I live in Gambia and have a Gambian background, I will be teaching Gambian Wolof.

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

I teach Spanish at the Universität Greifswald (A1 and B1 courses) and have worked as a private Spanish tutor since 2019. Before moving into teaching, I spent around ten years working in communication and journalism, which shapes how I teach: through real content, real conversation, and cultural context, not just grammar drills.

What you'll work on:

Conversation practice based on real situations, not scripted dialogue.
Grammar explained clearly, with the exceptions that actually come up in use.
Cultural context from across the Spanish-speaking world.
Lessons adapted to your goals: travel, exams, professional Spanish, or general fluency.

About me:

Native Spanish speaker (Rioplatense).
German C1 (TELC C1 Hochschule) — I can explain grammar and give feedback in German if that's more comfortable for you.
Degree in Audiovisual Communication (UNSAM) and higher technical degree in Journalism (ISEC), Argentina.
7 years teaching Spanish, including university-level instruction in Germany.
Have lived and worked in Argentina, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Spain, France, and Hungary.

Availability is currently limited — I have one open slot on Wednesday mid-morning. Message me to confirm the exact time and we'll take it from there.
