Hallo, I’m Bohdan.

A language is more
than a subject.

Bohdan Shevchenko is a German tutor who has lived in Germany since early childhood. German has been part of his everyday life for as long as he can remember.

This studio is built around bringing that everyday language closer: a clear explanation, a useful phrase and space to make it your own.

Right here.

A phrase you can use is a good place to begin.

Notice the pattern, try an answer and read the explanation. No scores to chase. Just a small piece of German to take into your day.

“The lessons are easy to follow and the examples actually feel useful for everyday situations. I would have liked a little more vocabulary practice, but overall it was a very good experience.”

5 out of 5 stars

“Bohdan explains German in a very natural way. I finally started understanding why certain phrases are used instead of just memorising rules. The conversation practice was especially helpful.”

3.5 out of 5 stars

“The material itself is good and clearly organised. Some sections felt a little basic for my level, but I still found several exercises that helped me speak with more confidence.”
