Barbara

I m 33 and married to Peter.We live in Duesseldorf/Germany and grew up in the same village (where we still live).(Didn t actually meet each other during our childhood though.)We ve got 2 kids (girl 7,boy 5).I m a nursary-school teacher,don t work in my job though at the moment.What I do now is teaching German to English speaking people (women actually).I really love doing this!!!!!!!I meet such interesting people,who travel round the world.They ve got so so many stories to tell about people of different countries and their traditions (and a lot about their origin home,of course).And I can help them feel comfortable in Germany,having some very nice and chatty lessons and practical events like visiting a supermarket or restaurant...to give them more self-confidence in speaking German to anybody.Plus helping with addresses (doctors,offices...)and mail................. I d say that I m a good listener with good empathy, can keep calm in various situations,I m flexible and self-ironical. But I must admit that I m often 3 minutes late,a bit chaotic in management,sometimes not tough enough and not very good in making quick decisions.
