Learning with friends "The price tip"

The most flexible way to learn German is to do it directly with your friends who speak German as their native language. But in doing so, the different topics & materials are limited and therefore cannot replace a professional German lesson for a quick and easy learning process.

 

However, the theoretical and grammatical basis is often missing to get a feeling for the language. Our recommendation: Attending classes at a language school (such as LanguageCube) and learning with friends is the best way to learn German quickly, easily and in the long term.

 

Benefits:

  • Flexibility
  • Start learning German for free

 

Disadvantages:

  • Little learning potential, as little new is added over time
  • Learning speed rather slow: learning systems, material & application limited
  • No structured learning process and thus little to no building knowledge possible
  • Grammatical errors can creep in right from the start

Social media groups

On social media, there are several groups designed for learners of German. Questions can be asked about topics and some participants also provide a few tasks.

 

However, we recommend these groups only for short comprehension questions, as there are hardly any tasks and they are not structured in any way, which makes your learning progress significantly slower and is not goal-oriented.

 

Benefits:

  • Learn for free
  • Quick answers for small comprehension questions

 

Disadvantages:

  • No structure in the exercises, thus no building knowledge possible
  • Responses from helpers could contain errors
  • Hardly possible to learn German efficiently, because there are hardly any tasks that fit your level of knowledge.
  • Very little variation in exercises and learning systems, speaking cannot be learned at all

Language apps to learn German

Another way to improve your language skills is to use German learning apps. Since all the learning material and exercises are in the app, you always have your language pack with you. Also, most apps with smart features can show your statistics and point out your weakest areas.

 

However, these German learning apps are always rather superficial and lack structured, building learning material, which means that the comparatively expensive monthly or annual subscriptions do not match the performance. Therefore, we recommend that you use German learning apps only as a supplement to vocabulary learning.

 

It's best to visit a language school on-site or online to really efficiently advance yourself in overall understanding and the various individual use cases such as speaking and writing.

 

Benefits:

  • Learn from everywhere
  • Statistics and synchronization of your learning status

 

Disadvantages:

  • Mostly only superficial topics without building up learning material for complete German beginners
  • No individual tasks like speaking and writing possible: Thus you are missing a very important part of the language, which you cannot train in this way.
  • Often price intensive for little learning material and few learning materials

Private German teacher

Of course, you can also expand your language knowledge with a private German teacher. Here the biggest advantage is that you can learn individually with the teacher and your questions can be addressed.

 

However, the price for a private German teacher is very high compared to group lessons, where the important group exchange that is missing here would be present. Also, a private language teacher does not have the same sophisticated learning materials and usually brings less experience than a teacher of a language school.

 

Benefits:

  • Totally individual learning possible
  • Room for your questions and needs

 

Disadvantages:

  • Price due to individual lessons significantly higher than group lessons
  • No group exchange that helps to deepen what has been learned
  • Less learning materials & less experience than a professional language school
  • Only one teacher: if this teacher is absent, the lessons cannot take place

  2. Learn the important basic words first, so that you can quickly hold conversations with German speakers - because these will get you ahead intuitively and fully.
