Hi, I'm Melanie – founder of Ich Spreche.
I work with expats who want to move beyond textbooks and finally feel comfortable speaking German or French in everyday life.
Many learners study a language for years but still hesitate when it comes to real conversations — at work, with neighbours, or in daily situations. That’s exactly why I created Ich Spreche.
Today, we’re a small team of experienced teachers who help students build confidence and fluency through guided conversations, practical exercises, and real-life scenarios.
Our goal is simple: to help you speak German or French naturally and feel confident using the language in everyday life.
