Here is some practical advice that might help you to get on in German with the people around you.

How do I set about learning German?

  1. Learn a couple of new words and expressions every day and practise them regularly so you can make good progress.
  2. You can only learn German properly by speaking it too. Make a point of chatting regularly to friends, acquaintances, neighbours, or work colleagues.
  3. Learning apps are an easy way to build learning words, phrases and grammar rules into your daily routine. Some of these apps, such as Duolingo, aCho and Einstieg Deutsch, are free.
  4. Watch films in German. If possible, display the German subtitles too. This will develop your ability to understand spoken and written German and you can watch people as they speak.
  5. Prepare for everyday situations in which you will speak German by writing down words and expressions, for example, or repeating them to yourself in your head.
