If you're learning German and in need of a conversation partner, or looking for a safe, non-judgmental space to practice and improve your German skills, so you can communicate in German more relaxed and at your own pace,  then a couple of private conversation classes might be a good choice.  

All you can talk - Pure speaking practice 

Private conversation training is highly interactive, with you as the sole learner engaging in question-answer sequences, significantly developing your listening comprehension and your speaking skills. One-on-one classes maximize speaking time with its 50-50 participation. 
I'll assist in enhancing your accuracy by correcting your pronunciation and grammar, noting mistakes and explaining correct usage. We'll discuss topics of your choice and build up a very personalized vocabulary for you, focusing on everyday's spoken language such as basic conversation starters, private and business small talk,  hobbies, travel, dining, or chatting with friends, collegues and family. As well as everyday life in Vienna and the Austrian way of living, post-relocation tasks, your new work environment, curious experiences and the feeling of culture shock, as well as different aspects of Austrian culture, society, manners and customs.
 

Breaking Down Barriers
A key feature of Walk and Talk classes is its casual, relaxed setting. Walking alongside your teacher you may find it easier to share your thoughts, doubts and questions than in a conventional group setting.  That fosters a sense of partnership between teacher and student, and for those who seldom engage with nature, outdoor classes can be particularly advantageous to combine relaxed learning and taking time for your overall well-being.  The act of walking and the ever-changing surroundings synergistically assist us in working through the topics currently important for you. 

Benefits of walk and talk sessions 

A Dynamic Approach to Speaking
Outdoor German classes require you to engage in an unconventional form of learning. Instead of being confined to a language school or an inpersonal office, it takes the learning process into the open air, walking side by side and having a light chat (or a meaningful conversation) in one of the beautiful parks of Vienna is highly effective and enchanting the same time. 

The Science behind the Combined Method 

The combination of dialogue and physical activity offers a novel alternative for those in search of new ways learning a language. 
Walk and talk classes can be particularly beneficial for individuals who feel more at ease when being outdoors, whether it's walking in a park or having a coffee in one of Viennas charming Cafés in the Oldtown. Combining audio learning with motoric learning completes each other, as active listening and active responding will be intensively practiced.   

Go with the flow! Physical motion enables mental motion
While traditional teaching environment remain valuable for many, different settings can be invigorating for your learning process fuelling your motivation. Outdoor classes suit especially those who might feel anxious in classic indoor group courses with the traditional classroom teaching style. 
The physical act of moving forward symbolizes and enables progress, by moving our feet we move also our thoughts generating an all over flow in mind and body. Physical activity and environmental changes can shift our perspective, allowing our minds to open up and roam freely,  alleviate feelings of stagnation through stress reduction. 

Neurological and Cognitive Correlations

Cognitive Stimulation and Brain Plasticity
Walking creates a unique neurological environment that can enhance language learning capabilities. The rhythmic motion of walking stimulates brain regions associated with memory, attention, and cognitive processing. Increased blood flow to the brain promotes neuroplasticity, which can make neural pathways more receptive to new linguistic information.

Embodied Cognition and Language Acquisition 
Physical movement is intrinsically linked to cognitive processes. Being engaged in a lively conversation supported through the rhythmic movement of walking improves memory retention, enables better vocabulary recall, creates stronger neural connections and greatly influences the co-ordination of different skills. 

Multisensory learning encompasses kinesthetic learning through movement while using physical gestures to reinforce vocabulary, and auditory processing of language through active listening and speaking. Furthermore, your passive knowledge of grammar rules and your passive vocabulary as well will be activated, so when multiple sensory systems are engaged  simultaneously they strengthen and complement each other. 

Cognitive benefits are increased oxygen flow to the brain during walking improves concentration and information processing and enhanced neural connectivity between motor and language centers. 

Walking and talking at the same time 

• boosts hippocampal volume which is critical for memory formation
• increases neurotransmitter production and thereby improves overall cognitive flexibility 
• reduces anxiety 

 Health benefits of walking
Gentle and low-impact exercises can actually alter brain chemistry by  increasing the production of  neurotransmitters that promote relaxation. Walking increases cerebral blood flow, improve cognitive function, elevate mood through endorphin and serotonin release, support weight management, reduce blood pressure, strengthen immunity, accelerate digestion, enhance heart health and even reduce the symptoms of anxiety, improving cardiovascular health and sleep patterns.
