🔥 Why is German so hard and are there ways to learn it faster?
One-size-fits-all language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn German.

Studying and getting feedback several hours a week you will be able to understand most sentences, be understood when you talk, shop and place orders in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a rapid and easy way of acquiring the basic knowledge of German. After acquiring basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have German tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced students.
🤷 How long does it take to get better at speaking German?
Some people just have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in German will require at least 600 hours of dedication. The length of time can differ a lot depending on your available level of German or proficiency in other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try additional 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 pick my own German tutor?
In language learning academies, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from up to a dozen teachers). Online, of course! The largest selection of pre-screened German tutors with detailed profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning marketplaces like Preply.
🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?
Colleges as a rule schedule classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools have shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, the number of lessons is really up to you, with early morning, day, evening and night classes available, on weekdays and/or weekends.
