German for job applications and work

B2 is not the goal. Your dream job in Germany is the goal.

I'm Miriam, your German teacher. I help you improve your German, write your application and speak with confidence in your job interview.

Miriam, German teacher at Linguva

Does this sound familiar?

You learned German. For months, after work and on weekends.
You wrote your application again and again. Ten times, twenty times, fifty times.
And then nothing happens. No answer. Or a rejection without a reason.

At some point you ask yourself: Is it me? Is my German too bad?

Nobody tells you. That is the worst part.

I read many cover letters from people like you. Most of the time there are no big mistakes. There are small sentences that sound different from what you mean. Too polite. Too general. Too far away from the job.

Maybe you can't see that, because German is not your first language. And nobody ever explained to you how a really good application in German works. I see these sentences right away. And I show you how to do it better.

This is not talent. You can learn it. That is what I am here for.

Imagine this day

  • Your phone rings. A German number. Somebody invites you to a job interview.
  • You sit in the job interview. You are nervous, but you know that you are well prepared. You speak calmly and with confidence.
  • Your first day at work. You shake hands and say your name. You understand what people explain to you. In the evening you are tired and proud.

You don't need perfect German for this. You need the German that fits your dream job.

Where are you right now?

Not every offer fits everyone. See what fits you and your next step.

„Great language school! I contacted them to improve my german skills before an interview, and they were outstanding. The school was flexible, offering me classes even during weekends. Moreover, the teachers were professional and highly experienced. They rapidly adapted to my level requirements and offered me exactly the german lectures I was looking for.“

Hi, I'm Miriam.

Miriam, German teacher at Linguva

I'm Miriam. German is my first language, and I am a trained teacher of German as a foreign language with more than 7 years of teaching experience.

I support people who want to arrive in Germany: with a job, with colleagues and with a life in German. On Instagram, about 50,000 people learn with me.

Why learn with me?

  • I have done this many times. I have supported many people with their application in German. None of them were native speakers.
  • I hear what an application coach does not hear. A coach tells you what belongs in an application. I am a German teacher. I also hear why your sentence sounds different in German from what you mean. And I explain it to you.
  • You practise alone with me. You can try everything, as often as you want. You can say an answer three times. In the end the sentences are yours.
  • You learn something that stays. I don't write your application for you. You should be able to write the next one yourself.

Frequently asked questions

Is my German good enough?

For lessons you don't need any previous knowledge. We start at A1 and go up to C2. For the interview simulation I recommend at least B1.

I am not in Germany yet. Can I still take part?

Yes. All sessions are online. You only need internet. You can join in your browser.

When are the sessions?

My hours are flexible. Write to me and tell me what works for you. We will find a time, also across time zones.

How do I pay?

First we find a date. Then I send you a payment link. You pay before the session.

Can I cancel or move a session?

Yes. Up to 24 hours before the session that is no problem. Just write to me.

Can you find a job for me?

No, I don't place people in jobs. I prepare you for your application and your interview. In the orientation call I am happy to explain how you can find job ads that fit you.

Do you help with visas or recognition of qualifications?

I give you tips on where to find information about these topics. I can't give you real advice on them, because I am a teacher and not a lawyer.

Write to me

You don't have to decide right now. Just write to me and tell me where you are. Choose your topic and then the way that is easiest for you. I will answer you personally.
