German is one of the most spoken languages in the world, especially in Europe, where it’s commonly used in business. This is largely because Germany is the largest economy in Europe and has the fourth-largest nominal GDP in the world, meaning German is an asset for those looking to improve their career prospects with companies operating in the region. Of course, German has a reputation for being a difficult language to acquire due to its very long and intimidating compound words. But don’t fret! German and English are linguistic brothers and share not only more than 50% of their vocabulary but also many grammatical structures. For example, strong German verbs are almost equivalent to English irregular verbs in their inflections.
So, do you want to become proficient in German and expand your horizons? Contact us today and we will prepare a personalised course for you to start learning German in London in a fun, interactive way. It won’t take long to discover that the language is extremely logical and that those pesky compounds are far easier to decipher than you thought. For example, “Staubsauger” (vacuum cleaner) is just the German words for “dust” and “sucking” pushed together. Makes sense, right? So, as soon as you get to know some new words, you’ll start making associations and understand what other longer terms mean.
And if you are looking for ways to practise outside of your lessons with us, you can always attend the weekly gatherings of the dozens of meetup groups available throughout the city, such as the London German Meetup Group. With more than 6,000 German speakers living in the city, you’ll never run out of opportunities to improve your language skills!
So, what are you waiting for? Reach out to us at Listen & Learn and we will design a course that fits your schedule and needs. Soon, you’ll be using terms like "Fernweh" (having the travel bug, lusting after adventure) or “Heimweh (homesickness) like a true German!
German lessons of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival German—needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'—those studying German usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefited from these German classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts for German culture and those hoping to pass a specific exam in German.

These German Lessons are intended for people who really need to learn German to help make that difference in their work. For beginners, it will be useful to learn greetings and basic business etiquette; at higher levels, reading and then writing become more important. Typical students include those involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where an additional language is required, and those working with international colleagues, academia and government. Even in our most basic lesson for Beginners, students should expect to end the lesson with basic telephone German and German e-mail skills for communication as well as survival German required for short visits to a country.
