How useful is German?

German is the national and native language of Germany or Deutschland as it is natively known. Approximately 130 million people in the world speak German, either as their mother language or as a second language; and it is the official language in Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Liechtenstein.

German is particularly famous for its excessively long words, with the longest word in the German dictionary reaching an astonishing 79 letters! For your sake and our own, we won't write it here. In many languages, words are often one of two genders (masculine or feminine), however, in German, there are three genders, the third gender is 'neuter', which is for words that are neither masculine nor feminine.

If English is your first language, then German is understood to be easier to learn than some other languages, this is due to the fact that both languages are rooted in the ancient Germanic language. As a result, English and German share over 60% of their vocabulary!

How much does it cost to learn German?

As with learning any language, the cost of learning is usually decided on a cost-per-lesson basis. Depending on what level of the language you already speak, the prices will vary.
