Hello! My name is Maximilian Danner and since the beginning of 2021 I am one of the German teachers at the Goethe Language Learning Center in Nanjing. I originally come from a small town near Freiburg, in the sunny south of Germany. My hobbies and interests include sports and music. Language learning and teaching has always accompanied me in my life. French in kindergarten, English at school and Chinese at university. I’m passionate about languages and that’s what brought me to Nanjing.
I have been in this city for seven years now, teaching German for learners from small (4 years) to large (67 years), from A1 to C1. In my job you get to know a wide variety of people and I like that very much! What I enjoy most about my work is when I see the development and successes of my students.
A friendly teaching atmosphere and entertaining units characterizes my lessons. Together we explore the most diverse situations of the German language and discover that language learning does not have to be as tiring as you always think. Learning is not always easy, of course, but a positive attitude is already half the way to success, and I always try to pass this on to my students in my courses.
In the language learning center Nanjing you can also come and visit me, or simply participate in one of our many events and chat with me. I look forward to meeting you and seeing you in class soon!
