You Know Every Tool in German. In English, the Words Just Vanish.

“In German, I can explain every screw and hammer. But in English? No chance.“

My client laughed as she told me this. She’s building a house right now and knows every technical detail in German.

Switch to English? Suddenly even the basics feel impossible to explain.

We’ve all been there. In our native language, we’re experts. In English, we’re back to square one.

That’s why I love tools with pictures and simple explanations. Just like that, the stress disappears.

(Wonkee Donkee Tools is an example.)

Here’s the truth: It’s completely normal to know some technical terms only in your mother tongue — whether you’re a builder, doctor, or manager.

The first step is spotting the gaps – and filling them one by one.
