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

• Wer? is used when you want to know who did something
• Was? enquires about objects, concepts or activities
• Wo? is used to ask about places or positions
• Wann? helps you enquire about dates and times
• Warum? is used when you want an explanation

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

The typical structure is: W-word + verb + subject, for example "Wo wohnst du?" (Where do you live?).

A private German lesson in Hertfordshire usually costs about £20/h.

Several things influence the exact cost:

• The student's level (GCSE, A-Level or university prep)
• Whether your tutor is a native speaker or certified examiner
• How often you book and session duration
• The lesson format (via video call, face-to-face or hybrid)

Some teachers provide reduced rates when you commit to a course of lessons.

A number of tutors offer a free trial lesson so you can check the fit before committing.

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

• A1-A2 (Basic): These levels focus on essential vocabulary and straightforward sentence patterns.
• B1-B2 (Independent): B1 learners handle everyday challenges independently; B2 speakers converse comfortably with native speakers.
• C1-C2 (Proficient): C1 allows complex, spontaneous expression; C2 means effortless comprehension of virtually everything.

Understanding these levels helps you set realistic goals and track your progress.
