Get to know me!
I am Natalie Deckers, German teacher & expert for German as a second language
SprachCoach, author and Düsseldorf native with a soft spot for languages.
Looking back, my knowledge of English, French and Italian has broadened my horizons enormously.
It is super exciting to experience a country and its
people authentically, when you talk to them in their native language – in the
street, in a coffee bar or at work.
From my point of view, languages are keys to cultures.
My knowledge of foreign languages has allowed me to live, learn and work in different countries. For example, studying in Florence and working in an advertising agency in Paris. Language skills have expanded my personal comfort zone and opened up new opportunities abroad.
Squirrels are explorers who rarely walk straight ahead. They let themselves be inspired on their way, turn spontaneously sometimes left, sometimes right and often gain surprising experiences.
Because I was fluent in English, French, Italian and German, I gave lessons
in foreign languages and worked as a translator during my studies at
university already.
After having graduated in business administration, I left the teaching path
and started a career in marketing and communications. Europe-wide, mostly
in three languages and for more than a decade.
A coincidence brought me back to teaching when an expat family from the
USA approached me because they were urgently looking for a private
German teacher. I promised to support them for a week alongside my job.
These German lessons were a lot of fun. My students progressed fast. One week turned into half a year. I had found my heart's business, trained as professional German language teacher and have now been teaching expats in Germany for many years.
