Born in England far too long ago, Philip Shiell came to Germany in the 90s where he commenced working as a language trainer in the West German city of Krefeld. He pursued writing and music as his main hobbies for many years, amassing a pile of unused novel ideas that would gather dust of die in digital heaven.

However, after setting up the language school Live & Learn together with his wife in the mid-2000s, he decided it was time to write his own language learning material and sifted through some of those old ideas. This is the result.

Today, he lives with his wife, two children, dog and cat in Krefeld.
