Meet Roswita: Your Multilingual Language Coach & World Traveler
Hi! Iām Roswitaāa passionate language coach, seasoned world traveler, and dedicated educator with big dreams.
My journey across cultures has allowed me to master multiple languages, including German, English, Spanish, Plautdietsch, and Russian.
Iām obsessed with chocolate, siestas, and shashlikāand Iāve been embracing language learning and cultural exploration since the seventies. Now, Iām here to help you do the same!
Join me on this adventure and unlock the power of language. š
In retrospect...

From Struggling Student to Multilingual Coach: My Language Learning Journey
I wasnāt always a confident speaker of five languages. In fact, my first report card suggested I listen to more English stories to improve my vocabulary. When my family moved to South America during my 5th-grade year, learning new languages felt more like a curse than a gift.
Every assignment seemed to push me further into an abyss of frustrationāuntil everything changed.
When I began learning Russian as a young adult, something finally clicked. I discovered the strategies that make language learning easier and more effective.
Now, I help others navigate the world of languages and cultures with confidence. Letās unlock your potential together! š

Helping You Bridge Language & Culture with Confidence...
................
Chances are, Iām sipping my Paraguayan Yerba Mate right now, brainstorming new ways to help you navigate language learning and cultural connections.
What excites me the most? Empowering language learners to feel, own, and celebrate their progressābecause your journey is enough, and your goals are within reach!
Language and culture can sometimes feel overwhelming, but with the right guidance, you can succeed. When you confidently connect and communicate, I know Iāve done my job right. Letās make your language journey a success together! š

Ā My Mennonite Heritage:
A Deep-Rooted Legacy
....................
Ā
Growing up in a multilingual home, I was immersed in the rich traditions of my Mennonite heritage. Beyond the incredible food, I developed a deep passion for my familyās history and cultural roots. This background has shaped my love for languages, storytelling, and helping others connect with their own heritage.
