Is it hard to learn German?

Have you started learning German, but the darned German articles "der", "die" or "das" just don't make sense? And the German grammatical cases nominative, accusative and dative are somehow strange and completely new to you? And why are the two most important verbs "Haben" and "Sein" irregular verbs? Is it really hard to learn German?



Ja and Nein! Learning a new language like German is always challenging, but ultimately incredibly rewarding. It opens up opportunities to learn about new cultures, make friends from all over the world, and explore new countries. Once you've reached a high enough level of proficiency in German, it also opens up exciting new career opportunities, such as translating or teaching languages.


The best way to learn German would definitely be to live in a German-speaking country. However, not everyone can drop everything and move to Berlin or Vienna; often the easiest way to start is on the Internet. But it can be difficult to find a course on the Internet to start - or continue - learning German.



What is taught in an online German course?

If you are a beginner, you should expect to learn some conversational skills, common words, pronunciation of common words, and how to put sentences together. Over time, you will also learn how to read and write in German.


Who should take an online German course?

An online German course can be helpful for many reasons. You can benefit from an online German course if you plan to travel to or live in Germany. It can also help you better understand German culture and speak with friends and relatives who speak German. It can also help you get a job as a translator or English teacher in Germany.


What is the best way to learn German at home?

The best way to learn German at home is to set aside some time each day to practice and study. Try listening to native speakers and repeating what they say, focusing on your pronunciation. It is also helpful to write down words and then sentences and practice reading them in German.
