After attaining basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have German tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced students.

Some people have a 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 study. The amount of time can differ a lot depending on your existing level of German or familiarity with other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, try typing using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in German out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational German classes online.
🤳 How many possibilities do I choose among when I select the right German teacher?
In learning centers, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, of course! The largest selection of approved German tutors with detailed profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning platforms like Preply.
