Are you planning a ski holiday in the Austrian Alps? Do you want to spend your year abroad in the vibrant city of Berlin? Or do you want to explore the stunning landscapes of Switzerland and Liechtenstein? Leaning German gives you the foundation you need for your next adventure!
German has a reputation for being a difficult language to learn but in reality, it is neither easier nor more difficult than any other language. German grammar might be slightly more complex than English, but many words are remarkably similar or identical, e.g. the meaning of words like 'Glas', 'Wort', 'Ball', 'Bus', 'Name' etc. is pretty obvious, even to absolute beginners. German pronunciation is very easy for native speakers of English and after the first hour of your German language course, you will be able to read German texts aloud without serious difficulties. The principle of the letter-sound-relationship in German is based on the 'What you see is what you get' principle and that principle applies to German (and Germans) in more than one way. Find out for yourself!
Whether you want to learn German because you want to go on holiday to a German-speaking country, spend your year abroad there, or want to increase your chances in a competitive job market, taking a German language class with Languages for All can help you realise your goals.
