Janine Wolf-Schindler

Janine was born near Munich, shortly before the Fall of the Wall. After school (where she spent most of her time playing tennis, doing theatre and reading everything she found in the library), she went to the University of Zürich where she learnt many languages, including Arabic, French, Farsi, Latin, Italian and Swedish. However, she soon realised her main passion was her mother tongue: German. She went on to study German literature, linguistics and oriental studies, and has taught German at university, Swiss banks and other international companies. She currently lives in Berlin, where she is studying for a Masters in Religion and Culture at Humboldt University as well as teaching, blogging, and running her own website - http://www.free-german-lessons-online.com - which aims to make learning German fun! She is happily married, with no kids, cats, dogs or even a goldfish.
