Testimonials for German Language Teaching
I studied German with Marianna Amon for one year, attending lessons twice a week. Thanks to her guidance and support, I successfully passed the B2 exam.
The lessons were always engaging and well-structured. A lot of focus was placed on speaking, which helped me build confidence and expand my vocabulary. We could discuss a wide range of topics, which made the lessons both practical and enjoyable.
We also worked intensively on writing skills, especially formal letters and essays. Marianna clearly explained the structure and organization required for these tasks, which was crucial for the exam. The materials used in class were modern, interesting, and perfectly suited to my learning goals. On top of being a great teacher, Marianna is a warm, patient, and inspiring person. Her positive energy and genuine care for her students created a comfortable learning atmosphere where I always felt encouraged to improve. She celebrated every small success with me and never hesitated to give honest, constructive feedback.
I truly appreciated her support and would highly recommend her to anyone preparing for a German language exam or simply wanting to enjoy the process of learning.

Asha Sahu for her kids Shristi and ShreyaI started to learn German from zero and I am now at C1 level being able to use German on my daily work. This great development, that I am proud of, had happened with the greatest teacher and coach during the German classes: Marianna Amon. The Classes are always a pleasant mix of exercises from German language books, German grammar, representative local stories and novels, articles about Austrian history, Austrian culture and a bit of local Viennese dialect. This amazing mix, prepared by Marianna in a very creative and flexible way had built for me a solid language knowledge and a good flavor of the local Austrian spirit. I am simply grateful to have the chance to learn and develop myself under Marianna’s lead and I recommend you to do the same. 😊 Go for it! 😊
Anca G. Fodor (Finencial Controller, Erste Group)After moving to Vienna in mid-2018 with zero knowledge of the German language, I started working with Prof. Amon in 2021, during my fifth grade. At that time, my German grades were just barely good enough to move on to the next class. However, after I began taking lessons with Prof. Amon, my German skills improved exponentially. By the end of 2024, I had achieved the highest possible grade on my German Matura and was admitted to the University of St. Gallen to begin my bachelor’s degree. Prof. Amon’s deep knowledge of German literature was especially important to me, as literature plays a major role in the Austrian education system. Our lessons not only helped me academically, but also sparked a genuine interest in literature, thanks to the way the sessions were conducted and the well-prepared materials Prof. Amon generously provided.

I really appreciate how she explains lessons with patience, making even difficult topics easy to understand. She answers our questions without any prejudice and treats every student with respect.” Antun KucicLearning German with Marianna has been a great experience! She is fun, relaxed, and has a great sense of humor, making every lesson enjoyable. She always goes the extra mile to ensure we understand the material and emphasizes learning German in the Austrian context, which adds valuable cultural insights.
Grega HrovatMarianna taught me German for almost 1.5 years. She was the catalyst who pushed me from a shaky A2—reading bits and pieces on my own without consistency—to easily passing my B1 and B2 certificates and being able to communicate at work in German with Austrian speakers. She not only helped me close my A2/B1 gaps and overcome my fear of speaking with native speakers in a large, formal corporate environment, she also lit a spark in me for Austria and the German language.
I’m not an easy student. That’s why, when someone like Marianna—a real teacher who brings cultural nuggets along with structured yet approachable knowledge-transfer techniques—appears, I’m happy to hand over control, sit back with respect, and enjoy the process. Thank you for everything!““““
Elpida Bantra, Data ScientistWhen I first moved to Austria, the idea of learning German gave me a full-blown stomach ache—along with flashbacks to school days filled with der-die-das drills and a mountain of unfinished homework. Little did I know that by signing up for Marianna’s classes I stumbled upon what I can only describe as my gateway drug to Austria.
From swapping favorite song lyrics to dissecting the last three emojis we used, and diving into the cultural roots of historical events, Marianna turns language learning into a delightful adventure. Her toolkit is as colorful as it is effective—she wraps grammar and vocabulary in ribbons of fun, curiosity, and ease.
But here’s the thing: it’s one thing to find someone who makes learning feel like entertainment. It’s a whole other level to find someone like Marianna—who doubles as a walking encyclopedia, a cultural compass, and a local insider. Whether it’s dealing with bureaucracy, decoding social norms, discovering weekend events, or finding the right doctor when you’re totally lost—Marianna’s got you covered.
Having her in your life is like carrying around a Swiss army knife (or let’s say, an Austrian one): she’s an educator, a coach, a cultural translator, a human “yellow pages,” and someone who gets that learning should feel like your kind of fun.
