2 weeks teaching English and learning German

I spent two weeks at the Halle Excellent Centre teaching English and learning German and had the absolute best time! In 2024 I had studied German as a uni elective and was around A2 level, but after having only three lessons from Mauz, I had greater understanding and confidence in my language skills than I did during the whole uni semester! Mauz is a great teacher who is not only encouraging and fun, but pushes you to improve.

I also loved teaching English to both my online and in person students, although as I was only there for two weeks, I only had three. At first I was hesitant to teach English online, but after getting to know my students language level and personality, the best way to help improve their language skills is having good conversations and occasionally doing some exercises.

Overall, the centre was a super supportive and friendly environment. With a delicious group breakfast each morning made by Rafat or another volunteer, the vibes were always fabulous. I also got along really well with the other volunteers and some other members of the Halle community. Long lasting memories and friendships were made.
