Maria Bernardina Milano
Founder & German teacher · Rapperswil-Jona
Hi, I'm Maria. I've been helping people in the Rapperswil-Jona area learn German for over 20 years, and there is nothing I enjoy more than seeing a student finally feel at home in the language.
My lessons are relaxed, practical and built around you. We focus on the German you actually need — for everyday life, for your family, and above all for your work. And because I also speak Italian and English, I can explain the tricky parts in a language you already understand.
