Did you know the German language once boasted a 63-letter word? Luckily for German students today, the word rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz is considered obsolete. Furthermore, if you are an English speaker, not only do you not have to learn this word either, but you’ll soon find out that German has a lot of words in common with your native language. For example, the word kindergarten is a German borrowing. But be careful with false friends! That is, words that look like they should mean the same thing but don’t: e.g., kind means “child” in German, not “kind”. Don’t worry, you’ll understand all these nuances if you sign up for personalised lessons with Listen & Learn. Get started today and begin enjoying all the benefits of being bilingual.
For instance, your learning does not end when you leave the classroom. Not only do you need extensive practise to gain fluency and confidence in a foreign language, but the more you learn, the more you will want to use it in other settings. With more than 4,000 German speakers living in Sydney, you won’t be short of opportunities to speak the language. One of the many meetup groups you can join around the city is the German Language and Fun Meetup, where you can interact with other German students and native speakers.
Also, in your course with Listen & Learn, you will quickly acquire idiomatic expressions used by native speakers daily. Get started with us and you’ll learn to say “darf ich mal vorbei?” (may I get through?) instead of just “bitte” (sorry) when pushing through a crowd!
German lessons of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival German—needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'—those studying German usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefited from these German classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts for German culture and those hoping to pass a specific exam in German.

These lessons in German are meant for those who feel that learning German would make a change in their work. For starters, it is expedient to learn how to say hello/goodbye, as well as basic business protocol; once the basics have been mastered, reading and writing come to the fore. Students who have greatly benefited have been involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where another language is required and those working in the international academia and government circuits. Even in our most fundamental beginner's lesson, students can anticipate ending the lesson with basic telephone German and e-mail German skills for communicating, as well as survival German if a short visit to the country is needed.
