About Me

I was born in the heart of the Black Forest in Germany, specifically in Donaueschingen, to Arturo, a Spanish engineer, and Christa, the best cook in the world and more. At home, we always spoke German, and we moved to Spain for my parents’ work. My brother and I went to a German school in a Spanish city. I completed my Abitur and studied business with a focus on the tourism industry while also pursuing my passion for teaching and music. I realized that what moved me most was contact with people from all nations, learning about their different ways of seeing the world (their Weltanschauung), understanding cultural differences, and accepting diverse viewpoints to enrich myself and contribute value to my society. Communication in all its forms has become the center of my life. Music and singing have given me a particular level of listening and a different way of processing stimuli to satisfy my infinite curiosity about human beings and their ways of expressing themselves. I speak, understand, and write fluently in German, Spanish, Catalan, English, Italian, and French. I still want to expand my knowledge and skills with non-European languages ​​such as Japanese and Russian… but that’s another story…

 

My Teaching Method

I firmly believe that all people who wish to can learn to express themselves in the German language if they are guided and accompanied in the right way. Although it is true that in this case, the degree of difficulty for a Spanish speaker is not trivial, I apply the necessary resources and materials to facilitate the acquisition of the linguistic skills of my mother tongue. I have accumulated more than 15 years of experience.

I have extensive training as a musician/singer, I am passionate about communication in all its aspects, and I know the Spanish language deeply, a language that I also love. I also teach diction for the German and French languages applied to singing in various Italian conservatories.
