Guten Tag! I am Liz, I was born and raised in Bavaria, Germany, but have found my home in Melbourne in 2008.  Language means freedom, expression, independence, conversation, self-reliance and connection for me.
Language shapes how we perceive the world and how we think and act in it.  I was always fascinated by these complex structures of living languages.
Therefore I love helping students expand and refine their language knowledge here at VLLC in both English and the German language.
