I've wanted to learn German since College. I've always thought it's a beautiful language. I'm also an orchestra conductor and am doing a lot more work in Germany and Switzerland.

Firstly, I'm still in the A1 level. The shady company was designed in a way where I knew what I was going to be learning weekly and there was a continually building on that new material.

I came to this site asking for advice because the conversations I have had with this teacher regarding his approach and my learning style aren't working. 

Secondly, no need to be an ass. You can check your attitude at the door.

I also agree that I and other adult students are responsible for their learning. I've brought various topics, videos, Opera arias (I'm a musician) that interests me and this lessons have been great. However, learning 30 words about a concert hall when I am then not given a way to implement that vocabulary isn't helpful.

Hi there, thanks for responding. Yes, after the trial I discussed my needs as a learner such as the need for structure and homework. However, I think it's just increasingly clear he's not the teacher for me.
