Teacher

Mein Name ist Steffen (My name is Steven) and I create lessons to Learn German Fast From English - Easy German For Beginners. I grew up in Northwest Germany, right next to Netherlands. After I graduated from university and once I started to teach German I realized how similar English and German are. This is when I came up with the idea to create a method which takes advantage of what English speakers already know about German to make learning as easy and natural as possible.
