About Layoversfru
Your Dedicated Partner in Mastering the German Language.
Our Story
Founded in 2020 by a group of passionate German linguists and educators, Layoversfru emerged from a shared vision: to make learning German an accessible, engaging, and enriching experience for everyone. We noticed a gap in language education – a need for courses that not only taught grammar and vocabulary but also immersed students in the vibrant culture of German-speaking countries. Our journey began with a simple idea: language learning should be a bridge connecting people and cultures, not just a set of rules to memorize.
Starting with small, dedicated workshops in Des Moines, Iowa, our commitment to quality teaching and student success has helped us grow. We've evolved into a trusted name for German language learning, now reaching students globally through our innovative online platform. We believe that understanding a language goes hand-in-hand with understanding its culture, and this philosophy is woven into every course we offer. We are proud to foster a community where curiosity thrives and language goals are achieved with confidence.
