Want to know how to learn German words quickly and easily? We'll tell you how many words you need to know, where to get them, what tools to use, and how to learn it all. Use at least a few tips and you can expand your vocabulary.

All students are interested in the question: “How to learn German words?” The more vocabulary we know, the better we understand what the heroes of our favorite German films are talking about, what is written on museum plaques, and how favorable the terms of the deal are offered by our German partners. Today we will give some recommendations that will help you effectively learn new vocabulary.

How many German words do you need to know?

We recommend that you take a test to test your vocabulary. It will show you your estimated vocabulary, which you can compare with the average results of native speakers and German learners. On average, 3,000 - 4,000 words will be enough to communicate on most topics.

However, we want to warn you: you should not rely entirely on the test results. It can only give a rough estimate of your vocabulary.

Now let's find out what German words you need to learn:

Basic vocabulary necessary to understand foreign speech. There are eternal topics like “Greeting”, “Family”, “Food” - every person needs to know them.

The words you need. If you need German for work, learn general business terminology or more specific industry terminology, for example for IT specialists. If you want to travel more, learn travel phrasebooks.

It is impossible and pointless to master all lexical sets. Why do you need medical topics if you are not a practicing doctor? Consult an experienced German teacher, he will tell you what exactly you should study.

Where to get new German words from

1. Favorite films, TV series, songs, podcasts, books

This method is good because the words are remembered in a context that is not boring for you. If you already watch films in German, you should take the vocabulary from there.

You can find the lyrics to most German-language songs using the search bar in your browser: enter the name of the song and add the word lyrics.

2. Special textbooks

Textbooks to increase your vocabulary will help you learn new words and common expressions in which they are used. The good thing about the manuals is that they provide lists of words along with examples of their use, so the words are learned in context.

3. Lists or dictionaries of high-frequency words

How do you know whether it’s worth remembering the next new German word you come across? It may have fallen out of use or is rarely used. You can refer to lists of words that are most often used by native speakers.

Tools for learning new words

1. Cards with words

This technique may seem old-fashioned, but it is still effective. All students at least once in their lives started flashcards and tried to learn new vocabulary from them. It's convenient and affordable: you don't need to spend money, because you write them yourself, and you can take the cards with you anywhere.

Before making cards, you need to choose a good dictionary that will help:

• select a translation;
• become familiar with typical phrases in which the word is used;
• study examples.
• Then you need to decide whether you will make paper vocabulary cards or electronic ones.

On one side of the piece of paper we write a word in German, on the second - in Russian. We test our knowledge: we translate a word from Russian into German and vice versa.

On one side we write a word in German and paste a picture, on the other - a translation into Russian. This method is well suited for people with associative thinking. In your mind you associate the new German concept with the object it stands for.

On the one hand, we write a word in German with a Russian context, on the other hand, a word in Russian without context. When repeating vocabulary, try to translate the concept from Russian into German. And with the translation in the opposite direction, the second side of the card with the Russian context will help you.

On one side we write the word in German, on the other - its definition in German. You can also write synonyms and antonyms of the concept being studied.

How to learn vocabulary correctly? The best way to memorize German words is in context. Therefore, you can write on a card not just a word, but a sentence in which it is used. Example sentences can be found in electronic dictionaries.

Electronic cards

If you find it difficult to tear yourself away from your computer, use your affection for good: create virtual stickers with words on your desktop and in a few days you will remember them well.

You need to constantly work with cards: review and repeat the learned vocabulary. Periodically change the cards for new ones, and after 1-2 weeks return the old ones again to repeat the words.

2. Notepad-dictionary

This method is good for those who constantly lose something: your cards are unlikely to last long :)

You can structure your notebook the way you want. Let's give our version. Each page must correspond to a specific day. Write the dates on which the words are repeated at the top. To ensure that the vocabulary you are studying is well fixed in your memory, do not forget to train it. To do this, use the techniques described below:

WEDNESDAY

• Repeats on the same day: 07/01/2018 - after 15 minutes, after an hour, after 3 hours
• Subsequent replays: 07/02/2018; 07/04/2018; 07/08/2018; 07/15/2018; 07/29/2017; 07/29/2018

3. Mind map

You can easily learn German words of the same topic if you draw a mind map. This diagram clearly shows what topic the words relate to. And while you are drawing it, the vocabulary will be stored in your memory. A mind map might look like this:

4. Educational sites and applications

On the way to work on the subway or in line at the clinic, use every free moment to learn new words. There are applications for Android and iOS.

It is enough to practice 10-20 minutes daily to feel progress.

1. Combine words by topic

How easy is it to remember German words? Groups of words related to the same topic are usually well remembered. Therefore, try to divide words into groups of 5-10 pieces and learn them.

There is the so-called Restorff effect, according to which the human brain remembers the most prominent one from a group of objects. Use this effect to your advantage: in the group of words on the same topic “introduce a stranger” - enter a word from a completely different topic. For example, when studying words on the topic “Fruits”, add one word from the topic “Transport” to them, in this way your studies will become even more effective.

2. Use associations and personalization

Many students love this method: to learn a word, you need to come up with an association in Russian. For example, you need to remember the word shoot (shoot), you can remember it as “the jester shoots.” You can make up convenient associations yourself, the main thing is that they are understandable to you and easy to remember. This will make it easier for you to increase your German vocabulary.

Training will be effective if you not only make a verbal association, but also visualize it: when pronouncing the word shoot, imagine this shooting jester, let the image turn out to be as funny and memorable as possible. Even better is a dynamic picture with your personal presence: you imagine how the jester next to you shoots someone (with a water pistol, so that the spectacle comes out comical, not tragic). The more vivid the picture, the easier it will be to remember the word.

3. Use the learned vocabulary in speech

How to learn German words correctly and not forget them? Are you familiar with the principle of use it or lose it? In order for knowledge to remain in memory, you need to actively “use” it. It is good practice to write short stories using new words. The vocabulary that is best remembered is expressed in a short, funny text written about yourself or about things dear to your heart.

If you take courses or study with a German teacher, try to insert new words into your conversation as often as possible: the more times you say a word, the better you will remember it. Don't forget about spelling: try to use new words in writing.

Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.

Tell me and I'll forget. Teach me and I will remember. Make me do it and I'll learn.

Benjamin Franklin

Learn new words and immediately use them in speech.

4. Test your knowledge regularly

It is useful to take various tests to determine your vocabulary level from time to time.

5. Follow your daily plan

We have already told you how many words you need to learn per day. Let us remind you that for the average person it is best to learn 5-10 words per day. Follow your plan for learning new vocabulary exactly to see progress.

6. Use fun learning methods

You can expand your German vocabulary through fun activities, such as solving crosswords, playing games, etc.

7. Develop your memory

It is impossible to remember anything unless you have a good memory. Learning a language in itself trains our brain well and helps improve memory. But to make memorization easier, you need to improve your memory.

8. Consider your type of information perception

Not all methods are equally good for you. Don't try to apply everything at once. Try text, video or audio formats and choose those that help you learn new words faster. This is how you will arrive at your own signature mix of techniques.

The main thing is to remember to move from theory to practice. Not only read useful tips on how to memorize German words quickly and easily, but also actively use them in everyday life, then you won’t have to rack your brains about how to improve your level of knowledge.

Try learning German words in a new way!

Learning German is a lot of work. Don’t believe the loud titles of articles and courses on the Internet and the media called “German in 3 months”, “Learn German quickly” or “How to become a polyglot without making any effort”. This does not happen in nature.

The process of learning German is always full of difficulties. Most likely, you will step over yourself through clenched teeth many times, memorizing the next dozen unknown German words written down in the dictionary for the next lesson.

Moreover, the teacher will most likely check this whole matter scrupulously, look at you sternly, at best say “okay” and, most likely, next time he will ask at least the same amount.

It’s paradoxical that we started an article about how to speed up learning German in exactly this way. But in our German courses via Skype, we never tell our students that it will be easy.

People who promise high results without equal effort on the part of both the student and the teacher most likely simply do not know what they are talking about.

But at the same time, we can promise that studying with us will be interesting, exciting, and that you will master the German language much faster. We will be happy to share some of the techniques on how to speed up learning the German language, as well as make the learning process more interesting, in this article.

For some, the advice below may seem unusual and unexpected. Yes, teachers prefer not to talk about many really useful things, giving out information “bit by bit” to their students after they pay money.

But people will turn to us in any case, since no techniques aimed at speeding up or diversifying the study of the German language can replace a good tutor. But first things first.

1. Find the “right” guy or girl

This is one of the most effective ways to combine business with pleasure. To master the German language faster, you need to interact with it as often as possible. The best way to do this is to surround yourself with German-speaking people who don’t know Russian at all and won’t let you relax even for a minute.

And a true language enthusiast should not pay any attention to the rest. Moreover, 98% of people on the planet constantly talk to themselves. After all, our internal dialogue does not stop for a moment.

We constantly prove something to ourselves, affirm and retell it. As they say in Tibetan Buddhism, the mind of an ordinary person is a raging elephant, which is extremely difficult to tame. Imagine what will happen if you direct this colossal energy in the right direction!

If you regularly, loudly and clearly talk out loud to yourself, then, firstly, you will very quickly get used to your language. Many people find it difficult to speak German to others simply because they are afraid of how their speech will sound to others. They get lost, confused and make many more mistakes than if they did the same decisively and without fear.

But after talking to yourself a little, you will soon realize that not everything is as bad as it seems. Your speech is very good, considering that you are just in the process of learning German. From this moment on, speaking skills will begin to improve at a completely different speed.

In addition, speaking in a foreign language always uses some other muscles of the face and oral cavity, which are not used in the process of communication only in one’s native language. To develop them, you need to exercise regularly.

When you think in German, you activate a large layer of previously learned vocabulary. And in the future, at the right moment, the right words will “find” themselves during a conversation with other people. Most of us think much more than we say. By integrating this aspect of your life with the German language, the learning process will go faster.

5. Memorize films in German

Is this the first time you have heard such “instruction”? In fact, memorizing phrases from movies, TV series, TV shows, books and songs is much more effective than simply cramming unfamiliar words written in a dictionary. Indeed, in this case, all the vocabulary contained in the phrases learned in this way immediately becomes active.

If this is your favorite film, then along with the lines you will probably remember the context within which the words were spoken, and even the facial expressions of the characters. Associative memory will be fully involved. Thus, it will not be at all difficult to obtain from the subconscious at the right time the necessary combination of words and phrases.

But effectively learning a film in German is also a whole science. We recommend the following sequence of actions:

1. Choose your favorite German-language film.
2. Watch it first with subtitles and then without them.
3. Download the movie script from the Internet and then print it out.
4. Read the script and highlight any words that seem unfamiliar to you.
5. Learn these words.
6. Watch the film again, reading everything the characters say along the way.
7. Break the script into scenes and begin to gradually learn it from memory.

Memorizing a movie is no more difficult than memorizing 300 unfamiliar words from a dictionary. But this is a much more exciting activity. Moreover, it will allow you to literally speak German “on the fly”. This is an extremely effective, fast and also very fun way of learning.

We hope you take advantage of these powerful tips to speed up your German language learning as efficiently as possible. But do not forget that they do not replace classes with a teacher, but only complement them.

Perhaps someone will tell you that you can quickly learn a language without a teacher, by studying diligently alone. Of course, it is possible to achieve some progress through persistent independent study.

But learning German on your own, and doing it quickly, is simply impossible. An experienced teacher will always correct the student in a timely manner so that the mistakes he makes in pronunciation and writing of words and sentences do not become a habit.

In addition, a good teacher will offer the shortest path to mastering the German language, based on the student’s abilities.

By signing up for classes with one of them, you can be sure that your learning process will be led by real professionals in their field. We recommend you try it. Moreover, our trial lesson is completely free.

Independent learning of the German language from scratch is not fiction and illusion, but reality. If a person has the desire, a notebook, headphones and at least access to the Internet, everything will be possible. Although here you need something else, the most important thing, without which you won’t be able to fully study the German language on your own. Free time is necessary, and the more you have, the better.

Plan of the education

The first step is to carefully plan your “home” course. That is, make a plan for learning German. It is very easy to do this on your own, since a person will be guided solely by his abilities, prospects and capabilities. Of course, you need to start with the basics. That is, from the alphabet. You need to practice pronunciation of letters and sounds, memorize them, because this is really important. Once this has been mastered, you can begin where everyone starts - the “Getting Acquainted” topic. This is the easiest lesson, since within its framework a person becomes familiar with the construction of simple sentences, for example, these: “Mein Name ist Anton” (translation: “My name is Anton”). And, of course, from this lesson a person begins to accumulate his vocabulary. The number of expressions, verbs, nouns, connectives and everything else is important. After all, the richness of his German speech depends on how wide the student’s vocabulary is. And, of course, the question arises - where to learn a language, with what, what to use? There are a lot of courses, both free and sold for money. In addition, you can buy several books and study from them. There are a lot of ways, everyone can find the one that suits them.

Psychological attitude

After making such an important decision - to start learning a new language - you need to give yourself an attitude. The first thing you need to do is determine for yourself how much time you can devote to studying. You need to start from small things - starting from the number of hours per week and ending with the amount of lessons per month. It’s not for nothing that professional courses are compiled on an hourly basis. You should also calculate how many minutes it will take to take a break. It is very important, sometimes you need to be distracted, switch to another type of activity - this way the information is absorbed much better. And besides, interest in the language will never fade away, since a person will always feel rested, fresh and ready to learn new things. Motivation is also important. It is necessary to record your successes, analyze your own achievements in order to see that there really is a result, and strive for perfection. And, of course, you can dream about a trip to Germany or other countries where German is the official language. After all, by understanding the indigenous people, you can make your vacation much easier.

Success comes gradually

Many people, starting to study German on their own, ask themselves: how much time does it take to master it perfectly? The answer depends on many things. How often does a person study German, how many hours a week does he devote to it, how hard does he work on topics, and so on. However, we can say with confidence that ideally no one will be able to master it in two months. The German language is as rich as Russian. Just perfecting perfect pronunciation can take a year, since a person learns to speak in the process of mastering new words. But if you spend enough time on this and delve deeply into each topic, then in two years you can master German so that even the indigenous people, upon hearing his speech, will accept him as “one of their own.”

Immersion in the language environment

This will make learning German from scratch on your own even easier. At least in terms of pronunciation. By the way, those people who communicate with native speakers of this language and listen to songs in German master it much faster. They say that you don’t have to buy textbooks or take courses to start speaking. You can simply move to Germany and bring your zero German to a good conversational level in six months. However, this option is not realistic for everyone, and not everyone can take the risk.

Audiovisual training

So how can you make learning German on your own easier? The film is the first thing that can help. Video recordings in German with subtitles, due to sound accompaniment and simultaneous visual translation into Russian, will help not only to learn to understand the speech of German residents. A person will also understand how to correctly pronounce and translate a particular word. This will make your independent learning of the German language more interesting and varied. A film is a combination of business and pleasure, since you can watch a new film (or “remember” something you’ve already seen before) and strengthen your skills in a foreign language. In fact, today you can find a lot of different films translated into German. For example, “Pirates of the Caribbean”, or “The Lord of the Rings”. By the way, watching films that you have already seen before is even better, since you already have an idea of ​​how events within the plot will develop, and you can pay more attention to subtitles and German voice acting.

The most difficult topic

Speaking about independent learning of the German language from scratch, a few words should be said about the most difficult topic that exists in the program. If we exclude scientific terminology, then these are verbs and their correct use. The importance of this part of speech cannot be overestimated. After all, in fact, without a verb, not a single complete sentence can be made. But it’s not enough just to know how “to speak”, “to do” and other words are translated. It is necessary to perfectly memorize the table of irregular verbs, learn how to control them, and learn how to decline by cases and persons. It will take a lot of time to master this topic, and therefore you should not leave it without due attention.

Communication

When self-learning German from scratch gives significant results, you can think about starting to communicate with native speakers. Nowadays, it is very easy to make this idea a reality. Fortunately, there are various social networks through which you can meet someone from Germany, and then, after correspondence, switch to video communication. This is a very useful practice, since speaking is the most important stage, which contains independent learning of the German language from scratch. The program, of course, is already very voluminous and consists of dozens of different topics. However, only through communication will you learn to master German, learn to listen to dialects (of which there are a huge number in Germany and German-speaking countries), and understand abbreviations and slang. Of course, at first it will be a little difficult to communicate, but you can always have a translator, phrase book or notes at hand. This will serve as a reference material at first. And then, gradually, the need for hints will disappear by itself. After just a couple of months of intensive communication, the result will be noticeable - a much larger vocabulary, competent speech and correct sentence construction.

Constancy

Finally, there are a few things to consider when starting to learn German on your own from scratch. The main thing in this matter is consistency. Once you start, you shouldn’t give up, forget about lessons, or put it off until “later.” You need to develop the habit of studying the language regularly, at the same time, for the same number of hours. Of course, it is advisable to increase the number of classes, but gradually. Many people, following this principle of self-studying the German language, leave only positive reviews. Of course, little can be achieved without difficulty, but what can be achieved today just like that?

To learn the beginner level of German A1, I know live examples that were learned in 1 month. But this is also record-breakingly fast, since the person already knew English (many things in these languages ​​are similar) and one of the West Slavic languages ​​(also much in common with German speech). And it took a month. But in one day nothing at all. But you can learn it for free (video).

It is impossible to learn a language in a day, especially if there is no base! I tried to learn German on my own from scratch, I spent a lot of time and effort, and besides, if there is no self-discipline, then this undertaking can be stretched out for years. If you want to quickly master a language, then it is best to take foreign language courses. I can recommend courses at Yazykoved-I, they have very competent teachers, training is carried out according to an individual plan, with home visits and a flexible system of discounts. I mastered German in a fairly short period of time and further learning of the language went much faster and more efficiently. Now I use free sites and communicate with Germans without difficulty.

The site is still in beta testing, but there is an entry level of German.

The question is not an easy one.

My answer is no way. And any thinking individual realizes this. It is unlikely that an ordinary (!), average person will be able to do this even by 10 percent. Even if he studies for 24 hours straight, without breaks.

The human brain will not allow him to do this.

We just need periodic rest and distraction to completely different things.

I’m not saying this out of spite or anything else, but only because I myself checked how much information I could remember in 1 day. At first, I seemed to remember certain words and sentences, but over time (after an hour or two), memory displaces previously acquired knowledge in favor of new ones.

Especially if you try to push this knowledge into your head in a day.

So there's no way to learn it.

You won't even be able to comprehend the basics.

Learning a language takes time, just like any other activity. Besides, I find German to be a rather difficult language.

Isolation from native speakers and immersion in the linguistic environment of Germany will help in learning it. This will greatly speed up the period of adaptation to a foreign language. I am planning to visit my German friends this summer.

I think this will do me good. And good luck to you in achieving your goals :)

It definitely won’t happen quickly and easily, but if you approach this issue wisely, it will definitely work out faster. I go to the Linguistics School of Foreign Languages ​​and learn German, although I also tried to do this at home, but nothing worked out. I chose the school based on reviews on the Internet and let me tell you, it was quite successful. By the way, I study there with my sister and sometimes she can’t go to classes and the teacher comes to her home in the evening. A very convenient service for busy people. This is our experience and I am sharing it with you, but of course it’s up to you to decide!

I have been teaching for many years and have reached the most minimal heights. And in a day you will only be able to read some kind of manual (if you read without stopping), but you will not understand a single word. No child prodigy can learn a foreign language in a day.

Now this is not a problem. Previously, in schools, for several years a student did not learn to connect even a couple of phrases, but now you can independently begin to speak slowly within 2-3 days from the start of mastering the course. A lot of different materials have been published, the most famous being the lectures of Dmitry Petrov.

In one day you can learn the most basic everyday phrases and rules for using simple expressions in the German language. It is hardly possible to learn a language. Perhaps you can begin to understand German speech only if you are in a German-speaking environment and then these will be the simplest words and expressions. It is impossible to learn German in one day. The brain needs a break from a lot of new information. But you can easily learn the most basic level in a couple of weeks, but you need a well-designed training program and strict adherence to it. Naturally, this requires great diligence. And don’t be afraid to speak like a migrant worker. It’s not scary, because your goal is to understand and be understood. Forward!!!

Do you know how sea captain Vrungel taught his senior mate Lom English in three weeks?

For this purpose, he chose a special, hitherto unknown method of teaching: he invited two teachers for the senior assistant. At the same time, one taught him from the beginning, from the alphabet, and the other from the end. . . Exactly three weeks later, senior assistant Lom reported to Vrungel that both teachers had taught him halfway through, and thus the task was completed. That same day they set sail, as they were already delayed.

This is actually humor. Read the wonderful book by A.S. Nekrasov The Adventures of Captain Vrungel.

In the cartoon of the same name, Lom learned the language even faster - a board fell on his head, and he woke up with full knowledge of the English language.

There is no way to learn a language in a day. It is more effective to achieve more or less the skill of speaking out and understanding primitive information in German in 1 day if you consistently go to several crowded places (market, stadium, cinema, supermarket, folk festival) in the outback of a German-speaking country (Germany, Austria, Switzerland , Belgium).

If you want to learn the German language, then you will learn it, but not in one day, you need to take video lessons, buy a manual on the German language for beginners, and it is advisable that you have a partner or partner, it will be easier to learn, by the way, the German language is both readable and and is written, you must first learn the alphabet and listen to the pronunciation of words, German words are a little rough in their pronunciation, the main thing is to start, and then it will be easier, but you need a special desire to learn this language, many people study for years, but they don’t succeed, It all depends on your psychological mood.

How to learn German?

If you already have basic skills in any language (except German, of course), it will be much easier for you to learn words and expressions from the speech of residents of Germany, Austria or, say, Switzerland. They already understand grammatical structures, there are standards for comparison and analysis, which means that learning will take less time.



Currently, a lot of language centers offer their services for quick learning of the German language. They talk about some incredible techniques that will help you master German in just a couple of months (!). There is truth in this, but only a small part. In fact, their approaches simply focus on spoken language and spend very little time on the grammatical aspects of it.

Start small and learn the German alphabet. He is in .

Of course, it is impossible to talk about total mastery of German in three months. This technique serves to liberate and bring the student to the contact stage. In principle, any spoken language has a similar goal. The problem is that with the standard, “school” approach, the transition to speaking occurs very slowly, or even never at all. So the technology of teaching German in such centers can be considered rational.

Difficulties of the German language

If you do not want to attend specialized language courses, you can learn the basics of German language and speech on your own. To do this, you just have to stock up on some time, patience and the Internet. In the “web” you will find all the necessary audiovisual tools (audio recordings, pictures, visual aids, dictionaries), which will help you master German at the initial stage. Having made the necessary supplies, use the following action plan.

• Listen to real German speech. This starting technique will allow you to feel the melody of German sentences, to grasp the subtleties that distinguish the language from others. But there will be differences - that's obvious.
• Repeat what you heard after the speaker. At this stage, you immediately begin to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of speaking German. Teachers at language centers monitor this process, and in their absence we recommend using a voice recorder. By recording yourself and then comparing it with the original source, you can evaluate how well you are doing. Intonation and rhythmic errors will be immediately audible, and you will be able to quickly correct them.



It is recommended to practice phrases at least once a day. You can spend about an hour or two on this - it all depends on the number of conversational units you are working with. At first, it is possible that their perception, repetition and involuntary memorization will take more time. But every time you learn German, you will learn German faster and faster. After about two weeks of such active practice, you will begin to notice how you involuntarily strive to use a familiar phrase from the German language in everyday situations. If this happens, you are doing everything right.

• Compare what you hear with what you see. Here we already mean the transition to the stage of mastering the letters of the German alphabet and developing the ability to put them into words. You will have to act in two steps. First, using the help of a speaker, as well as any phrasebook or German-Russian dictionary, practice pronouncing the letters. Then you can move on to mastering the rules of reading. (For this point, the German language should be given a separate Danke, because in comparison with the same English or French languages, most of the letter combinations seen are pronounced in the same way as they are written; there are rare exceptions and features that will not be difficult to remember).

Knowing how words are read, you will be able to practice on simple lexical units from the most understandable areas of our lives (daily routine, leisure, being, flora and fauna, weather, etc.). Plus, this will ensure visual memorization of the word and its association with the Russian version. Therefore, the vocabulary will gradually be replenished, which is also quite important.

• Reinforce vocabulary with grammar, and theory with practice. In parallel with reading, begin to master the grammatical rules of the German language. Start with the simplest ones - those that will be useful at an early stage. For example, read about how to construct sentences or how verbs are conjugated in the present tense. Don’t forget to consolidate the material you’ve learned by completing tasks from reference books, which are also easy to find on the Internet. By completing such tasks, you will write down answers and thereby train written speech, including not only visual, but also muscle memory.



And don’t give up oral speech either! Try to meaningfully “substitute” familiar colloquial constructions in situations of everyday communication. If you are in a store, imagine that you need to find out in German how much an item costs. Or in the morning you need to greet your “home” or neighbors, or work colleagues... You never know what else you can think of! In a word, practice.

As a rule, if you deliberately set out to learn German, your main enemy can only be time and family circumstances. Having “seven people” makes it quite difficult to engage in self-development. If you need to learn German for work, this procedure is equivalent to forced measures. Here you can already turn on the “I don’t want” or “Oh, how lazy” mode. Then you should remember that you are not in school, and you need this for growth, career and, perhaps, even prosperity.

It turns out that you can quickly learn German. It all depends on what goal is being pursued. If you need to communicate in a language, a decent result can be achieved in 2-3 months. A thorough study will require more time, the main thing is that the initial goal is justified by the means invested in the process of achieving it.

Several sites for learning German online:

1. Deutsch-online(www.de-online.ru)
2. Lingust(lingust.ru/deutsch)
3. Yeshko(www.eshko.ua)
