Dr. Johannes Birke
Literary scholar · Language trainer
As a literary scholar (PhD) and language trainer, I have been working with language, education and intercultural communication for more than 25 years.
After many years of teaching at universities in Germany and the USA, I specialised in German as a foreign language and the language qualification of international professionals.
A particular focus of my work is preparing international doctors for the medical language examination (Fachsprachprüfung). Since 2020 I have developed and led my own C1 Medicine course, in which I prepare physicians specifically for the linguistic demands of everyday practice and the examination. Numerous successful exam results and recommendations from former participants confirm the success of this concept.
At Sprachpraxis Dr. Johannes Birke I combine linguistic expertise with many years of teaching experience. My offer includes general B2 courses, specialised C1 Medicine courses and individual exam training. The focus is on personal guidance, practice-oriented content and the lasting development of linguistic confidence. I look forward to accompanying you on your way to your linguistic and professional goals.
