My background
Fascinated by and passionate about languages, I left Thun, my hometown, to perfect foreign languages. In Geneva, I met my husband with whom I had two – now adult – daughters. It is with great pleasure that I devoted myself to this family life. Franziska Pugin-Maurer Born in Thun (BE) Certified trainer (BFFA) After this time devoted to our daughters, I was once again gripped by language fever. So I took advanced German courses at Ifage, where I met the head of the German department. My devotion for studies as well as my team spirit led her to offer me a job as a teacher at their premises. Since 2010, I have been teaching German with passion and kindness. Subsequently, I started to teach the comprehension of Swiss-German (from Bern, Basel, St. Gall and Zurich) and I have also been teaching the Bernese dialect (oral and written comprehension, as well as speaking and even writing). Today, I have created this site with the aim to share my passion for languages with a wide number of individuals who are eager to learn. Personally, I love to learn by communicating. I would therefore like, through these sessions, to develop the concept of "walk and talk" to teach in a new way and combine business with pleasure.
