This business started out 10 years ago this month, in May of 2013. By mid-2015 this was a real part-time job, and now every week I teach two classes, over a dozen private lessons, and since I began teaching German back in 2010, I've taught a total of more than 5,550 hours of German.

For those of you who don't know yet, I (Frau Warner) am also a classical singer and I love the Germanic repertoire. The Bel Canto Chorus here in Milwaukee, along with the Kettle Moraine Symphony, is performing Johannes Brahms' Ein deutsches Requiem (A German Requiem) on May 21, 2023 at 3:00 pm.
If you're unfamiliar with the text, or would simply like to enjoy getting to know the text before the concert (or maybe you simply love music, like I do?!), these videos are for you!
In each video, one per movement for each of the seven movements, I pronounce the text in German and the English is on the right. You will also see single words and some phrases bolded because these are either easy to hear in the piece, they are words you will hear along the way through one of the movements, or they are significant in meaning and in the way Brahms set them to music.
I refer to them as 'anchor words.'
Viel Vergnügen!

The next session runs April 24 – May 30th, and the session will include B1 topics the clients in this class have chosen. I have a couple of ideas, they're going to make their own requests, and in the first session we will make a plan together.
Here is the link to the class info page: https://www.germanwithnicole.com/b1-german-class-online
This June and July we will have a session which is focused on B1 test prep and a sample B1 test.
If you're listening to this episode and it's after summer 2023, please contact me via germanwithnicole.com to discuss your needs for B1 test prep!

Wishing someone "good luck" in German often goes one of two ways--either "Viel Glück!" or "Viel Erfolg!" Which one you use depends on what you want to say. It's part of the entire cultural aspect of luck, and Germans have specific ways in which they try to find luck.
Today you'll learn how to give these wishes in German and what marzipan has to do with all of it.
