Der, die or das?

Tip: always learn a noun together with its article.

Hi, I’m Lena.

For over ten years I’ve been helping people learn German with confidence. I’ve taught children and adults, worked with language schools in Switzerland and specialised in teaching German as a foreign language.

In 2023 I founded LiLe, because I believe learning German should feel practical, encouraging and even fun. Language is more than words and grammar. It opens doors, creates connections and helps people feel at home.

“The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.”

Feedback from Lena’s students, translated from Italian. The originals are underneath.

  • “I think you’re really good at teaching a language. Your method is different from school teachers. You find fun and interesting ways to do it.”

    Secondo me sei molto brava nell’insegnare una lingua. Hai un metodo diverso rispetto agli insegnanti scolastici. Trovi modi divertenti e interessanti per farlo. Complimenti.

    Manuela G.
  • “I always felt at ease, and for me that’s the most important thing for taking on any challenge, from the smallest to the biggest.”

    Mi sono sempre sentito a mio agio e secondo me questa è la cosa più importante per poter affrontare al meglio qualsiasi sfida, dalla più piccola alla più grande!

    Stefano Z.
  • “You put me at ease, and it felt easy to just go for it and try speaking German.”

    Mi hai messo a mio agio ed è stato semplice buttarsi nel provare ad esprimersi in tedesco.

Questions, answered

More questions? See all questions about the online course or ask Lena directly.

What does it cost?

It depends on the format and the number of participants. The first consultation is free, and afterwards Lena sends you a clear offer.

Do I need to speak any German to start?

No. The hospitality course starts at A1 for complete beginners, and team training and private lessons start from wherever you are.

How much time does it take?

The online course for hospitality staff takes about 18 hours: around 30 minutes a day over 8 weeks. Team training and private lessons follow the rhythm you agree with Lena.

Is it online or in person?

The hospitality course is online, so it fits around shift work. Private lessons can be online or in person in Bolzano. For team training, Lena agrees the setting with you.
