Hi My name is Daniela. I grew up in Germany and at the age of 16 I spent, thanks to a full scholarship, one High School Year in the United States. For the last seven years I have lived and worked as an artist close to Carrara in Italy. Alongside my art I earn some extra money by directing a Bed & Breakfast “Toffolandia”, by giving language lessons and by translating texts. Thanks to my friends, students and visitors from all over the world I have the possibility to cultivate my language skills every day and I enjoy the cultural exchange, although I live relatively isolated with my animals in the mountains. After the American and German graduations I completed a formation for commercial secretaries in foreign languages (English and French) and foreign correspondence (English). I have since gained some experience in this area. Subsequently I decided to make a change in my life that promised more creativity and so I started studying free drawing and illustration in Germany, as well as sculpturing in Carrara, Italy. Already as a teenager and during my study period I used to give private lessons in English, German and Latin. Furthermore I directed an English course for children ages 5 – 7 years. Subsequently I opened my Bed & Breakfast in Italy and I added Italian as an additional language. Some of my visitors take the chance and book language lessons during their vacation. Meanwhile I offer also conversation lessons online via skype in German, English and Italian. That’s a lot of fun. I adapt myself to the respective necessity of each student and in each case develop a concept for easy, motivating, efficient and successful learning. Talking, talking, talking and to lose the fear of it is the goal, which opens the door for cultural exchange and international communication. I would be very pleased to hear from you, sooner rather than later, to welcome you by video transmission for a conversation lesson and a cappuccino.
