Top 5️⃣ reasons why …   … you still find it difficult to speak German despite having lived in Switzerland for a while now – and what to do about it.   1) Limited practice opportunities: In Switzerland, it can be tricky to find people to practise Hochdeutsch with. 2) A social network of non-German speakers: Your friends and acquaintances are non-German speakers who use English to communicate in everyday life. 3) Speaking English at work: The company language is English, and so far, you haven’t needed German to do your job. 4) A busy schedule: We’ve all got so much on, and finding the time to focus on German can be a challenge. 5) A lack of confidence: You don’t feel you are your natural self when you speak German, so you avoid it for fear of coming across as incompetent.   Does this sound familiar? If you’d like to overcome this barrier and speak German with ease so you can integrate better and take the next step in your career, you have to actively seek out opportunities to speak German and find people who have the same goal as you.   It’s part of human nature to come up with excuses for things that we don’t really want to do because we find them challenging. And the longer we put things off, the more daunting they become. Imagine how would it feel if you had a support network around you and professional help.   This is where my German Fluency Breakthrough programme comes in. It’s a 3-month-programme designed to help you establish a routine so you can speak German regularly and build up that confidence that you’re looking for.   Throughout the programme, you get tons of support from me and others in the same situation as you, and there are group sessions as well as 1:1 coaching. Speaking German in both a professional and social context in Switzerland is definitely something you can master! Contact me to request a course brochure.   ********** Hi, I’m Sandra.

🤔 The ‘Ja, Nein, Vielleicht’ Problem” Ever feel like every English response is a little too… clinical? “Yes, no, maybe” – Ja, nein, vielleicht. The precision is there, but the warmth feels just out of reach. You’re talking to a client, or even interviewing, and you can feel the conversation slowing down. They’re polite, but they don’t light up. The sparkle, the Zwischenmenschliches (those subtle, in-between-the-lines moments) is missing. Here’s a truth: native English speakers expect a bit of rhythm, a back-and-forth dance in conversation. Germans often worry, “What if I say too much? What if it sounds unprofessional?” 🧰: Try adding small, non-committal words, like “I think” or “you know?” Not every sentence has to sound like a statement. Add a little space for connection, for “maybe,” for Possibilität. It’s not about changing who you are, just about opening up those connecting moments. Because “ja, nein, vielleicht” only gets you so far. What happens beyond that is where real trust begins. ------------ 🕯️ Hi, I’m Chirag. I’ve spent the last few years living in and out of Germany, and one thing keeps standing out: most Germans speak really good English. And not just in Berlin. But I’ve also noticed that confidence, not ability, is often the missing piece. Maybe it’s the perfectionism, maybe it’s a bit of rust, or maybe it’s because someone once laughed at your English when you were young. Whatever the reason, I’m here to help you rebuild that foundation—so you can build something as grand as a German Schloss on it. Message me or drop an email, and let’s see how I can help you unlock that natural confidence. #AuthenticCommunication #ConnectionMatters #EnglishSkills #InternationalSuccess #FromGermanToGlobal
