Sound as Capable in German
as You Do in English
Birte M. Harring MSc PGCE
German Communication Coach
1:1 Coaching to Help You Express Your Authentic Voice in German
For Professionals Working in German-Speaking Environments
✔ Express yourself clearly and naturally in German without overthinking
✔ Sound more credible and articulate in meetings and client conversations
✔ Present yourself and your expertise without sounding rehearsed or translated
✔ Navigate high-stakes conversations with greater ease and control
Would you like your spoken German to reflect your real capability in professional situations?
You already understand German and regularly work with German colleagues, clients or partners. But when you speak, you don't come across as capable as you do in English.
In professional situations, you find yourself:
-
simplifying your German
-
overthinking before speaking
-
freezing or losing your train of thought in the moment
-
struggling to express your ideas, decisions or expertise clearly
This creates a gap between what you are actually capable of and how you sound in the moment.
For many professionals, this gap affects how their expertise, credibility and professional capability are being perceived in meetings, conversations and high-stakes working interactions.
I can help you close that gap.

ABOUT
Why Clients Choose Better German
Hi, I’m Birte, founder of Better German.
I’m a qualified teacher and German communication coach with over 20 years of experience supporting English speakers expressing themselves in German.
Originally from Germany and having lived in the UK since 2003, I see every day how capable professionals can sound less confident, less articulate or less authoritative in German than they actually are, especially in real workplace situations where communication is fast, spontaneous and high-stakes.
What I’ve learned over the years is that the actual German skills themselves are rarely the real challenge - they can be learnt.
The much bigger hurdle is the gap between what professionals want to say and what actually comes out under pressure in German.
This is why I create a safe space for you to practise expressing yourself in German.
My work focuses on helping you express yourself clearly, naturally and credibly in German-speaking professional environments so that your spoken communication reflects the level of expertise and clarity you already have in English.
My approach combines bespoke 1:1 coaching with practical communication strategies you can apply immediately in meetings, discussions, pitches and everyday professional interactions.
I support internationally mobile professionals and expats who work closely with German colleagues and clients and who need to communicate with more clarity, presence and authenticity in real conversations.
I look forward to welcoming you to the Hive and helping you sound as capable in German as you do in English!
