NEW!
Low-German Course
Doors open on March 3, 2025
Low German is the mother tongue of many Mennonites worldwide. If you grew up Mennonite like me, your parents may have only spoken Plattdeutsch to each other and didn’t engage you in any language. You may have understood some phrases once, but even that was forgotten.
I’m here to make a difference and to get you up and speaking this valuable language. A valuable new resource I have to offer is a Low-German course coming your way.

My journey to speaking Plautdietsch
After I moved away to go to college, I wanted to speak to my parents in their heart language. I began speaking Plautdietsch with them after some linguistics training and learning Russian.
I stumbled around at first, but gradually, it became easier to say more. I realized that my brain had retained the sounds I had heard all during my years at home, giving me a headstart in practicing and speaking Plautdietsch.
Even though English has become my primary language since I married Gene, which is how we communicate as a family, I love that I can speak to my mother in her heart language. There’s something about connecting with another person’s heart language.
The relationship goes deeper, and you feel more connected. I live many miles away from my Paraguayan family, and I appreciate the connection through Plautdietsch in our relationship.
Having worked as a language coach to students of other languages, I understand what it takes to support you on your journey of speaking Plautdietsch.
My husband, Gene, is testing various strategies to help him learn the Plautdietsch sounds and words. We’ll share all these tips and tools with you because every learner needs to find the strategy that works for them to move forward with this fantastic brain exercise.
I can also empathize with the learner because I was in that place a few times while learning new languages.
