• Future

• Books

About my background as a High School Teacher in Germany, Namibia and Australia.

My name is Peter H Bloecker, StD i.R.

I am hosting the Business German Podcast, which focuses on teaching authentic German for professional settings. My aim is to help learners navigate the German language and culture from an intercultural perspective with a FOCUS on

The Intercultural Gaps.

From 1998 to 2005, I worked and served as the German language adviser at the Goethe-Institut Australia, contributing to the promotion of German language and culture in Queensland and in Australia.

My office was at the LOTE Centre, Westend, in those days next to the School of Distance Education, now sold and demolished.

Now fully retired, I live with my wife Maria Ines at the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia.

A tree is a tree and has a soul …

More promotion will come here soon, once my free Podcast has hit the target line at Spotify and some other channels.
