FAQ's

🧬 What are the German equivalents of who, what, where, when and why?

In German, questions often start with a W-word, similar to English interrogative pronouns.

  • Wer? is used when you want to know who did something
  • Was? means "what" and asks about things or actions
  • Wo? is used to ask about places or positions
  • Wann? is used for questions about timing or schedules
  • Warum? means "why" and asks for reasons

Two bonus W-words are Wie? (how) and Woher? (where from), which round out everyday questioning.

In German questions, the W-word comes first, followed by the verb, then the subject.

💰 How much are one-to-one German lessons in Birmingham?

A private German lesson in Birmingham usually costs about £19/h.

Several things influence the exact cost:

  • The student's level (GCSE, A-Level or university prep)
  • The teacher's credentials and background
  • Lesson length and frequency
  • How the lesson is delivered (via video call, face-to-face or hybrid)

Booking a block of lessons often brings the hourly rate down.

Choosing online tuition often reduces costs without sacrificing quality.

⚡ What does each German level from A1 to C2 involve?

The framework splits German competence into three bands (A, B, C) with two sub-levels each.

  • A1-A2 (Basic): These levels focus on essential vocabulary and straightforward sentence patterns.
  • B1-B2 (Independent): B1 means you can manage most travel situations and express opinions; B2 allows fluent discussion on abstract topics.
  • C1-C2 (Proficient): C1 allows complex, spontaneous expression; C2 means effortless comprehension of virtually everything.

Goethe-Institut exams certify each level; many employers accept these certificates as proof.
