About your teacher:
Katja Barbier
Hello, my name is Katja Barbier. I grew up in Germany, and later moved to South of France in 1998 where I met my husband. Both of us moved to California in 200I.
We have three children, (born 2001, 2003 and 2008), a dog and a hamster.
Since my husband and I decided to only speak our native languages to our children, they are growing up being trilingual.
In the past I taught German from home as part of a German Immersion Program twice a week to toddlers and preschoolers. Right now I am teaching German at a German Saturday School in Campbell. I am also volunteering in French Classes at SVHS and I am tutoring German and French to local High School students.
I am very excited to bring Music Lingua and the German and French language to the children and families of Scotts Valley and Santa Cruz. Learning a second language early in life is a blessing and I would like to offer this opportunity to the children in our community. Language instruction in our area needs to be improved and I would like to do my part to help. So if you are ready to let your child learn the German or French language then I can't wait to meet you and your little one!
