You might also be asking yourself \u00ab\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/general-german-how-long-does-it-take-to-learn-german-tips-to-do-it-fast\/\">How long will it take me to learn German?<\/a>\u00ab\u00a0. We\u2019ve got you covered: keep reading to find out 5 simple tips to start learning the German language.<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"post-61673-_t1i2ncwer63n\"><\/a>#1: Learn Basic German Vocabulary to Be Able to Communicate<\/h2>\n<p>In order to learn beginner German, you have to <strong>start practicing the language as soon as possible<\/strong> \u2014 but how can you do that without knowing any words? You don\u2019t need to memorize the whole dictionary in order to start speaking German with people. It\u2019s also okay if you make mistakes \u2014 just get started and you will improve and perfect your German with time! Here are some things you should focus on to start learning German for beginners:<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"post-61673-_tijol25bv5zw\"><\/a>The alphabet<\/h3>\n<p>It might feel like you never use the alphabet, but remember you need to know letters in any language in order to be able to tell people <strong>how to spell your name, email, or social media handles<\/strong> \u2014 which can easily come up when you start <strong>making new friends<\/strong>! You also need to understand others when they spell their own contact information for you. So in order to start speaking German as soon as possible, make sure you know <strong>the way letters are pronounced in German<\/strong>, as well as the specific-to-German letters that are not found in English, such as \u00df (Eszett or scharfes S) or vowels \u201cmit Umlaut\u201d like \u00dc or \u00c4. You should also make use of this opportunity to <a href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/general-german-learn-german-for-kids-with-the-best-available-resources\/\">teach German to your kids<\/a> if you have any!<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"post-61673-_roskp8godwwv\"><\/a>Numbers<\/h3>\n<p>Now you\u2019ve got your new friend\u2019s name and email, but what about their <strong>phone number<\/strong>? Numbers are another essential component of any language, including beginner German. Make sure you know <strong>how they are pronounced<\/strong> and practice them so you can easily understand when people tell you their phone number in German \u2014 they often speak quickly without realizing!<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"post-61673-_ssoonhpubn72\"><\/a>Greetings and phrases to introduce yourself<\/h3>\n<p>Now you can get contact information for any new German friend you make \u2014 great! But before you can do that, you need to first meet some people! For this, knowing <strong>basic greetings<\/strong> and how to <strong>introduce yourself in German<\/strong> is absolutely essential. You can find tons of <strong>helpful videos, podcasts, and webpages<\/strong> that can teach you how to do this. Focus on quality over quantity: there may be a dozen different ways to ask \u201cHow are you?\u201d in German, but do you really need to know them all? It\u2019s better to say two things well rather than learn 12 badly.<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"post-61673-_7m4atp4quf52\"><\/a>#2: Study, Learn and Remember Basic German Grammar Rules<\/h2>\n<p>When you\u2019re learning German for beginners, the grammar can seem a little daunting, but don\u2019t fret! There are a few <strong>key grammar points <\/strong>you can start with in order to be able to start practicing the German language in real life. If you like travelling, you can check out our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/general-german-learn-german-in-germany-with-the-best-local-language-courses\/\">the best local German courses<\/a> directly!<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few of them:<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"post-61673-_ljh5s0sico6b\"><\/a>Formal or informal?<\/h3>\n<p>While English has just one pronoun to address someone \u2014 \u201cyou\u201d \u2014 German has <strong>two pronouns.<\/strong> <strong>\u201cSie\u201d<\/strong> is used to show respect to strangers or in formal situations, and <strong>\u201cdu\u201d<\/strong> is used for people you have a closer relationship with. It\u2019s important to use the polite form, \u201cSie\u201d with new German people you meet (especially ones who are older than you) in order to show them respect and start your relationship off on the right foot.<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"post-61673-_xy9vmdniyzfz\"><\/a>All nouns have gender-specific articles<\/h3>\n<p>If forks, knives, and spoons had genders, what genders do you think they would be? In the German language, a fork is feminine, a knife is neutral, and a spoon is masculine! Yes, <strong>German nouns have three possible genders<\/strong>, and if you want your beginner language learning journey to be as painless as possible, you better start paying attention to the proper articles for each word right from the beginning. It can be extremely difficult to correct mistakes you\u2019ve entrenched into your memory a couple years down the language learning process!<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"post-61673-_nyeyd915a36r\"><\/a>Basic sentence word order<\/h3>\n<p>One thing that might surprise a beginner German learner is that German verbs are in a relatively fixed position: usually the second element of the sentence. If you have the sentence \u201cich wei\u00df das\u201d (\u201cI know that\u201d), you can also say it in backwards word order, that is \u201cDas wei\u00df ich\u201d (literally \u201cthat know I\u201d). The important thing is that <strong>the verb stays in the second position in the sentence<\/strong>. If you become comfortable with this principle of the German language, you\u2019ll have a much easier time putting words in the correct order to make simple German sentences.<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"post-61673-_158hn5mr8zn\"><\/a>#3: Concentrate on Listening and Reading More Than the Other Competencies<\/h2>\n<p>Of course, all four language competencies \u2014 speaking, writing, reading, and listening \u2014 are important. But when you\u2019re just starting out, you can cut yourself some slack. Speaking and writing will push you further in the language and help you make German friends, but they are also more challenging. As a beginner German learner, you want to make sure you <strong>don\u2019t overwhelm yourself,<\/strong> and you also want to <strong>expand your German vocabulary<\/strong> as much as possible \u2014 reading books and listening to podcasts <strong>made for beginner language learners<\/strong> are one of the best ways to do that! At the same time, you are improving your ability to <strong>understand what native German speakers are saying<\/strong> \u2014 incredibly important if you want to speak to people! To do this tip in the most efficient way possible, write down the new words you read or hear, along with their context, and review the words often to learn them well.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-61676\" src=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/teacher-teaching-e1630053184356.jpg\" alt=\"a teacher teaching on a blackboard\" width=\"400\" height=\"294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/teacher-teaching-e1630053184356-200x147.jpg 200w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/teacher-teaching-e1630053184356-300x220.jpg 300w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/teacher-teaching-e1630053184356-400x294.jpg 400w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/teacher-teaching-e1630053184356-600x441.jpg 600w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/teacher-teaching-e1630053184356-768x564.jpg 768w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/teacher-teaching-e1630053184356-800x588.jpg 800w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/teacher-teaching-e1630053184356-1024x752.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/teacher-teaching-e1630053184356-1200x881.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/teacher-teaching-e1630053184356.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"post-61673-_hsi2kj36bd07\"><\/a>#4: Practice With a Teacher or a Website That Can Guide You<\/h2>\n<p>While all of these language learning tips will certainly help you learn German for beginners, there is one thing that may help you more than all of them combined \u2014 and that is a <strong>quality language teacher or website<\/strong> that can guide you through your language learning process. You can practice speaking and writing all you want, but if there are <strong>tons of mistakes<\/strong> you don\u2019t know about, you will never be able to speak German well!
