Hey!
Why choose little talks?
"Learn a Language, Live a Culture."
At little talks, we believe that language learning is more than just acquiring new words —
it opens doors to new cultures and opportunities. When people connect through language,
they break down borders and create a world with fewer barriers.
At little talks, we want to bring our students closer to the culture of a foreign country and develop a better understanding of it while improving their language skills. Our unique "little talks Method" emphasizes conversation skills from the very beginning, ensuring you master the language in the long run.
We provide a comfortable environment where students can confidently practice speaking and
learn how to use the language. To ensure a personal and effective learning experience,
our group courses are intentionally kept small, with a maximum of 5 participants.
Join us for an exciting journey of cultural exchange and language mastery!

Monika is a very competent, motivating, and understanding teacher. She shows immediate interest in her students and fosters comprehensive cultural exchange – current topics are always welcomed. Therefore, each lesson is designed differently. One has so much fun learning German with her that time flies by! She made me love the German language and culture.

Our learners say
Sophia has genuine warmth and curiosity. Our discussions incorporate cultural insights and personal experiences. This makes learning engaging and fosters a fun atmosphere. Moreover, Sophia's unwavering support and encouragement are just amazing. She consistently challenges me, pushing me to progress more, all the while remaining mindful of my individual preferences.

I can truly recommend Paula as a language teacher. She adapts the lessons to the needs of her students and brings in a lot of fun and ease. We always cover different exercises like reading, translating, speaking, vocabulary, and grammar. I feel very comfortable learning with her and I feel like my level of Spanish improved fast. I recommend Paula if you are looking for effective and enjoyable lessons.
Melanie
Thank you very much for everything, Sophia. You really helped me a lot with my B1 exam preparation. I could hardly believe my outstanding result and am very proud of myself.
Khadija
I always look forward to German lessons with Monika. She is always in a good mood, full of energy and I always have a lot of fun learning with Monika. I started with Monika at B1.1 and now we have reached B1.2 level. Since we started the lessons, I have been able to improve my German a lot and my level has risen considerably. Monika is a reliable and dynamic teacher who I highly recommend!
