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!
These lessons in German are wide-ranging by nature and are driven towards students who have a variety of differing needs. All beginner students will expect to study enough survival German to get them through a short visit to the country. Those who choose to continue with the lessons will progress differently, depending on their individual requests and requirements. Whether you are buying property in a foreign country, married to a foreign national, planning a round-the-world trip, interested in German history and culture or if you simply want to attain a particular level of German, this is the choice for you.

These German Lessons are intended for people who really need to learn German to help make that difference in their work. For beginners, it will be useful to learn greetings and basic business etiquette; at higher levels, reading and then writing become more important. Typical students include those involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where an additional language is required, and those working with international colleagues, academia and government. Even in our most basic lesson for Beginners, students should expect to end the lesson with basic telephone German and German e-mail skills for communication as well as survival German required for short visits to a country.
