Hvala Thomas, zelo dober ucitelj si

Thomas is a great teacher and has helped me not pronounce 'h' in all sorts of Spanish words, even though it seems to be a hard lesson for me to learn. Thomas is very patient and knows a lot about language structure and history. He's also more than happy to translate Bad Bunny song lyrics (my idea) alongside structured lessons on grammar.

Mi sono trovato subito a mio agio con Thomas e ho apprezzato molto il suo approccio che è quello che ritengo più adatto al mio profilo di apprendimento. Continuerò sicuramente a imparare lo sloveno con lui e lo consiglio a tutti.

Thomas è stato molto calmo e attento durante la lezione. Ha subito cercato di comprendere il mio livello, adattando la lezione a conseguenza. La sua lezione è stata piacevole da seguire e mi sentivo a mio agio. Hvala lepa!

Thomas is very encouraging even when I repeatedly pronounce the silent Spanish 'h'. Our classes have lots of grammar, which I love, and curiosity about the origins of words in multiple languages. We cover a huge amount of content in a short time and an hour and a half flies by!

Thomas is very pedagogical and, in a fun way, went through the German language at the level of my understanding. I had a much better understanding of the language after my first lesson with Thomas. Danke schön !
