Practical German learning: your way to trust

Hello dear physical therapists,

Welcome to takeoff! A new career move in Switzerland - that is exciting and involves many opportunities, but certainly also the necessary challenges. One of the biggest obstacles is often the German language, especially in the demanding medical environment.

My name is David Allen Martin II, and I'm the founder of LinguaThor, the official language partner here at takeoff. 👋 I'm here to guide you on your language journey and show you: Yes, you can do it! And maybe even faster and more fun than you think. 😉

Why German is more than just B2 in your work

Many of you are focusing on achieving the B2 level for the SRK Diploma recognition — and that is also an important milestone! ✅ But everyday clinical practice is about so much more: it's about having patient conversations (anamnesis, instruction) with confidence, even when things get hectic. It's about not just knowing technical terms, but actively applying them and communicating accurately with colleagues and doctors. In short: it's about communication skills and self-confidence into real situations. And that's exactly what my coaching focuses on.

The Linguathor Approach: Opening the Gateway to Language 🚪⚡️

At LinguaThor, we believe that true understanding is the basis for everything. Instead of just making rules, we help you develop a deep sense of the German language. We use efficient, modern methods to help you see rapid progress and stay motivated. The name LinguaThor (“language gateway”) stands for exactly that: We open the door to the language for you and help you reach your goal (“tor” = goal) at lightning speed. We focus on:

• Practical content: Topics and words directly from the daily physiotherapy practice.
• Active speaking: Exercises that strengthen your speaking skills and confidence. 💪🗣️
• Efficient learning: Methods to make optimal use of your learning time. 🧠🚀

A first tip from me: In the beginning, focus strongly on the listening comprehension. Try to listen to German as much as you can about topics you interest — even if it's difficult at first. The more you understand, the easier it is to speak later. And: Don't be afraid of mistakes! Mistakes are just a sign that you're learning and your brain is active.

Together, we can do it!

The path to linguistic certainty in your profession is achievable, especially with the right support. On the takeoff platform, you will find your own section of LinguaThor with more information and a range of courses tailored specifically to your needs as a physiotherapist.

Do not hesitate to contact me for a free first call (you can find the link in the Linguathor section of the takeoff platform!) to find out how I can best support you.

I look forward to getting to know you and accompanying you on your way in Switzerland!

Best regards,

David‍
