About the store
Hi there!
I’m a passionate German, French, and ESL teacher who believes that language learning should be meaningful, creative, and fun. Over the years, I’ve designed my own materials to meet my students exactly where they are — supporting their interests, strengths, and learning styles.
I taught for more than 13 years at a Secondary School (High School) in Germany, where I earned both my First and Second State Examinations and served as an experienced Abitur examiner. My teaching journey also took me to France, where I taught German for a year before moving to Canada, where I became a certified K–12 teacher.
Since 2020, I’ve been teaching German and French online to students around the world — from Kindergarten to Grade 12 — and I also homeschool my own children. These experiences have shaped how I create engaging, interactive lessons that work for classroom teachers and homeschool families alike.
I’m thrilled to share my favorite resources with you here on TPT — made with love, tested with real learners, and ready to make your language lessons come alive!

French Mot du Jour Activity: Autumn
French Mot du jour - Automne Improving French students’ vocabulary is the key for a successful French classroom. Learning how to look up new words in a dictionary is crucial for French learners in order to understand and write texts independently and to talk about their interests. A rich vocabulary helps them to express themselves, and it builds confidence in the foreign language classroom. I often feel like a “walking dictionary” when my French students keep asking me “Madame, how do you say …
