Hi I’m Rachel!

A lover of all things wild, a wife to Franky (Franz) and mother to Emily. Franky and I run a riding school and livery yard where we have the privalige to teach both children and adults.

I am originally from the UK but moved to Austria to be together with my now husband. We raise Emily bilingually in english and german and encourage a full outdoor learning life.

I am an avid vegetable gardener and also love reading together with a good old fashioned pot of tea (which I still import!)

I have taught English in Germany and Austria, and still teach English to both children and adults on a one-on-one basis, also teaching in a Primary school in Austria as a native speaker.

I also love to communicate the positive benefits of being outdoors and using nature to encourage language learning especially with younger children.

I fell in love the the Charlotte Mason language learning approach when I was planning the bilingual journey for our daughter Emily and brainstorming the idea of The Outdoor Bilingual Learner. If you wish to learn a little bit more about Charlotte Mason and her approach you can take a look at the pinterest board that I have created here.

This site is the perfect place for parents to obtain coaching and advice about outdoor language learning (take a look at the Blog), books, to encourage their children at a young age to start their english language learning journey, and for children to enjoy nature and the great outdoors.

Let’s start your language learning adventure!
