About the German Language

We know that German is a Germanic language but did you know that the first recorded history of such a language was back when the Romans existed, so the 1st century BCE. Back then, there was only one united language but since then many dialects have emerged. It wasn't until the 6th century CE, however, that the German language closest to how we know it emerged.

German's not too far off of English, but it does appear to have many more complex features to grasp.

Britannica.com explains that "German is an inflected language with four cases for nouns, pronouns, and adjectives (nominative, accusative, genitive, dative), three genders (masculine, feminine, neuter), and strong and weak verbs."

This is why you may need to hire a tutor to get you started on your language learning journey!

If the schools, colleges, universities or centres aren't suitable for you, then this doesn't mean that you can't learn German. There are in fact ways to learn a language outside of a classroom that can sometimes leave a language better embedded in your brain than if you were sitting in a class daydreaming.

Hiring a tutor means that you are already committed to the cause because you are paying for the sessions from your own pocket rather than following a government course. You can also be more flexible with your routine and when you choose to work, so long as your tutor is available. And you don't even have to meet up for one to one sessions if you don't want to, many private tutoring sessions can be conducted online! You could even mix it up and have some lessons in person and some on webcam, depending on your schedule.

Don't be deterred by the fact that a tutor can't offer you accreditation as a course can. The fact is that if you can speak a language, you can prove that you can speak it by actively showing how you converse in the language! No qualification doesn't mean you can't still list your language skills on your CV. Businesses will take your bilingualism seriously if you say that you can speak German to a high level and this will still impress them.

After all, you can always take an exam online that offers you some kind of accreditation later down the line!
