Introduction

German is the official language in six countries and around 100 million people speak German in the world. The language is the third-most taught foreign language in European Union. German belongs to the West Germanic family of languages. Once learned, one can speak German fluently if he/she practice it regularly. Every language learning duration has some challenges that are faced by new learners.

• Grammar and Sentence structure.

The grammar of every language has some rules unique to that particular language. As a new learner, you may find some difficult grammatical rules. You can also face some difficulties while learning sentences structures. The sentence structure of the German language is different from that of India which makes it difficult to live in the world for English language speakers.

• Spellings and pronunciation.

German is a phonic language. The pronunciations and spellings are connected to each other. But there are some different sounds that an English speaker finds difficult to make. Many vowels have different sounds than that of English and therefore one needs to be focused while learning sounds and pronunciations.

• Spoken Practice. 

Only through spoken practice, you can be fluent and confident in speaking German. The spoken practice can only be done properly with an expert who can point out your mistakes. To find a German-speaker who can make you learn is only possible when you enter speaker both are ready to give time for German practice. 

• Proper Guidance

This is the fourth point that makes German learning challenging as proper guidance is only available and language learning institutions charge a lump sum amount as fees. On the other hand, they offer their services for a limited period of time. Therefore, while learning German, it is challenging to find proper guidance.
