🔥 Why is German not easy and are there ways to learn it faster?
Standardized language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn German. Realistically, you can gain basic German fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback several hours a week you will be able to understand many expressions, have simple conversations, get proficient in daily routines in about a year. Relocating is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and fun way of acquiring the basic knowledge of German. After mastering basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have German tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced speakers.
🤷 How long does it take to achieve a good level of German?
Some people brag about their natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in German will demand at least 600 hours of dedication. The actual range of time can differ by a lot depending on your current level of German or familiarity with other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, write using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try as many as possible ways to think and speak in German out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational German classes online.
🤳 Can I choose my own German coach?
In colleges and universities, there's a chance you can choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, of course! The largest selection of approved German tutors with full profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning platforms like Preply.
🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?
Colleges typically structure classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools make available shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, you can take as few as one lesson a year, as many as several a day - and as many (or as few) as you want during any time of day, on weekdays and/or weekends.
