Biodegradability and Digitalization Biopolymer Research – BASF SE Ludwigshafen

Mario has been my German teacher for over two years, and I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone wishing to learn the language. What distinguishes him from all other language instructors I have encountered is his genuine passion for the German language itself. He loves the language through and through—its structure and the resulting beauty—which is clearly reflected in his teaching style. He is patient and kind, making a great effort to ensure I grasp concepts by using examples from English, my native language. This was a complete departure from my previous attempts to learn German, where teachers spoke exclusively in German and expected immediate comprehension. He tailors the lessons to your individual abilities and emphasises the importance of mastering fundamental grammatical concepts to build a solid foundation before advancing to the spoken component. This approach requires time and patience from both student and teacher. Mario pays particular attention to details such as correct pronunciation and the stress of German words. I believe this is of immense value in helping one speak with minimal influence from their native accent. While Mario and I began as teacher and student, I can confidently say he has become more of a friend to me. Our conversations often range from everyday events to the origins of the universe.
