Working with Elene has completely transformed my German language journey. Before starting lessons with her, I struggled with basic grammar and pronunciation. After just three months of twice-weekly sessions, I successfully passed my B1 exam with a score much higher than I expected! Elene has this remarkable ability to explain complex grammar concepts in simple, understandable ways. Her patience and personalized approach to teaching made all the difference for me.

Learning German with Falk has been transformative for my career.

Finding Max was a turning point for my 16-year-old son who was failing German at school. Max connected with him immediately, finding topics that interested him and making grammar lessons relevant to his daily life. He identified specific learning barriers that school teachers had missed and addressed them with targeted exercises. Most importantly, Max restored my son's confidence and interest in the language. His grades improved from a D to a B within one semester. Max has a special talent for working with teenagers!

Rebecca makes German fun! Before her lessons, I hated German class at school. Now I look forward to our sessions because she uses games and stories that make learning feel like play. She created a special series of illustrated stories about a girl my age in Germany that help me learn new words without feeling like studying. My school grades have improved from C to A-, and now German is my favorite subject!

Purpose of learning German
The German language, with its rich history spanning over 1,500 years, belongs to the West Germanic branch of Indo-European languages. Modern High German, which emerged during the 15th and 16th centuries, was strongly influenced by Martin Luther's translation of the Bible. Today, German is the official language in Germany, Austria, and parts of Switzerland, serving as the native language for approximately 95 million people worldwide. Its significance in European commerce, science, and literature makes it a valuable language to learn in the modern world.

What is the cost of German lessons?
All German teachers are different. They usually set their own prices depending on the experience they have. Also the price depends on the level of the student, the higher the level, the higher the rate.
What is the most difficult thing about learning German?
Difficulty in learning German arises when it comes to noun cases, article declensions, tenses, prefixes, and verbs - which can be regular (weak) and irregular (strong). Teachers and students note that German grammar is more complex than English. However! The grammar is precise and well-structured. Despite these challenges, German grammar follows logical patterns and consistent rules, making it systematic once mastered. Many learners find that after understanding the basic principles, the apparent complexity becomes more manageable.

Learning a foreign language is not an easy task, but it is possible. The success of self-study depends on a high level of self-discipline and motivation. We advise you to learn the language if you understand the goal and then any obstacle will be easily overcome. In addition, the goal will help you decide on the direction of which there are many in the English language.
Which is more difficult, German or English?
German is in most cases significantly more difficult than English. And linguistic research, according to which German is 2.5 times more difficult than English at the intermediate level (Intermediate), only confirms our conclusions. However, it's worth noting that this comparison mainly focuses on grammatical complexity. In other aspects, such as pronunciation or vocabulary acquisition, the difficulty levels may vary depending on the learner's native language.
