Introduction:

Learning any new language is a new challenge that will open up your mind and help you to connect people across the world of different cultures and languages.

The German language is a West Germanic language mainly spoken in Central Europe. It is the most widely spoken and official or co-official language in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and the Italian province of South Tyrol. It is also a co-official language of Luxembourg, Belgium, and parts of southwestern Poland, as well as a national language in Namibia. German is most similar to other languages within the West Germanic language branch, including Afrikaans, Dutch, English, the Frisian languages, Low German, Luxembourgish, Scots, and Yiddish. It also contains close similarities in vocabulary to some languages in the North Germanic group, such as Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish. German is the second most widely spoken Germanic language after English.

In a rapidly growing world of new technologies, learning a language plays an important role in your growth as well as career growth.

So In this blog, we will discuss some of the best ways to learn the German language.

• Set yourself a goal

The very first thing is you need a goal to work towards.

It sounds awkward, but believe us, not having a goal- a reason why you’re learning- won’t be motivating enough in the long run to learn a language.

Learning a language without a goal is like driving a car without direction. So whether you want to learn to get ahead at work or pick up a few essential phrases for Oktoberfest, pick a goal that floats your boat, write it down somewhere, and set sail.

• Practice speaking German with online tutoring

While opportunities to practice your German may be sparse right now, you’re still learning German in order to speak it – so signing up for one-to-one online lessons with qualified German teachers on platforms like Verbling is a great way to start practicing your conversation skills early and often. 

Plus, mastering German pronunciation and overcoming any foreign language speaking anxieties can be a real-time-saver later on. So be brave, be vulnerable, make mistakes and get better!

• Make German friends

At some point, you need to speak German to someone other than your cat. The sooner the better actually. That’s not too hard, even if you’re stuck at home. Download a language exchange app or use online forums to find German people who also want to improve. If you want a more formal arrangement, hire a German teacher online.

• Use Flashcards

Using flashcards is one of the most famous ways to learn new words. This is a very easy and quick way to make a list of huge vocabulary to study a number of words via flashcards. In today’s modern world, it will be very easy and convenient to use different applications of smartphones to arrange flashcards. You can aim for one new word everyday but can also go for more, but it is not that profitable to you that you aim for more than one word of German vocabulary.

• Listen to German radio and podcasts

Once you’ve got some basic German grammar and vocabulary under your belt, it’s time to immerse yourself in the language. There are podcasts specifically for German students and many more for German speakers. You can approach German listening activities in two ways. The easiest is to switch on any old German radio station and let it become the soundtrack to your life.

• Watch German TV shows

Like the radio, TV is a great way to immerse yourself in the German language. You can take a more academic approach, watching with pen in hand for new vocabulary and expressions (German subtitles are your friend), or you can use German TV to unwind after a long day without worrying about understanding everything. Here are a few good German shows on Netflix to get you started.

• Conclusion

If it’s your dream to speak German then you can do it. You just have patience, self-confidence, consistency, and most important regular practice. If you can follow these then you definitely achieve your goal.
