Is German hard to learn? 

Some people believe German to be a very hard language to learn and this can certainly be the case but with a good work ethic of staying disciplined and making sure to consistently spend time learning and improving, you will certainly be able to make good progress in the language and with the help of a tutor it will be even more manageable. 

Just because something may not be easy to learn, does not mean that it is not worth doing. Many people around the world know German as a second language and just like any second language, knowing how to speak it and your native language is never a waste of time. 

The benefits of knowing a second language 

Knowing German or any other second language will open up many more professional and work opportunities for yourself even if you don’t move to Germany. Business is very international today and companies often have international customers, this also means that those companies need employees who can also speak the same language as their customers so that good customer service can be provided, deals with suppliers can be made, deals with retailers, creating a network and more can be done.  

Of course, if you do move to Germany then knowing the language will allow you to integrate much easier as you will have the tools to do all the basic tasks necessary to move countries. Getting directions, being able to speak to people so that you can view apartments, get an internet plan, be able to file your taxes, setup a bank account, find work. All of these things can vary from being hard to impossible if you don’t speak the local language. 

It’s not all about being able to do work related or serious things either. Knowing the local language will make it much easier to find and make friends, to enjoy your new surroundings and to learn new things. 

Learning German will broaden your horizons 

Through learning a new language, it's inevitable that you will also learn about the culture that speaks it. You’ll gain more knowledge and maybe appreciation of different types of films, literature, art and history. It could also make you more inspired to travel and see these new places that you learn about and could very well end up changing your life as it has done for many people who decided to learn a new language. 

How our tutors in Swords can help you to learn German 

You can do quite a lot of progress in learning German by yourself. To learn new vocabulary or to learn grammar rules it just takes time and the effort put into remembering and understanding that information. But doing that even everyday will not result in you being able to fully speak or even understand German.  

There are many aspects to being able to master or just know a language well. You need to be able to know its written and spoken grammar, a decent vocabulary so that you can express yourself and understand others fully, especially when it comes to writing. You need a certain level of pronunciation so that others can understand you when you speak and you also need to be habituated to the speed and accent of others who speak German so that you can understand when someone speaks to you.  

That’s a lot of work to do all by yourself, it’s a lot of work even if you are in school! This is where our tutors can be very useful. They’re knowledgeable and experienced in German and can be there for you in the areas that you find the most difficult in German. Your work, pronunciation etc can be corrected for you so that you learn from your mistakes and you can revise over aspects of the language to get you back up to speed and help you be more confident in your German skills and more prepared for your school work or to make your personal life easier.
