The core German question words are known as W-Fragewörter because they all begin with W.

• Wer? asks about a person's identity
• Was? means "what" and asks about things or actions
• Wo? means "where" and asks about location
• 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.

Unlike English, German places the conjugated verb immediately after the question word.

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

The final price depends on a few key elements:

• The student's level (beginner, intermediate or advanced)
• The teacher's credentials and background
• Lesson length and frequency
• How the lesson is delivered (via video call, face-to-face or hybrid)

Many tutors offer discounted packages for regular bookings, which lowers your per-lesson cost.

Online German lessons can be more affordable while still offering excellent flexibility.

German language ability is measured using six CEFR levels: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2.

• A1-A2 (Basic): A1 covers survival basics; A2 expands to simple conversations about familiar subjects.
• 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 indicates near-fluency for professional or academic use; C2 represents mastery equivalent to an educated native speaker.

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