Although teachers and professors do their best, they are usually limited by instructional time, rigid curriculum, and full classrooms that can minimize their ability to help students who need an extra boost - or are flat-out struggling. In addition, students who become fluent in a different language very seldom do so with classroom instruction alone.

To really get the most out of your language learning experience, you need opportunities to practice speaking and listening, someone who can answer your questions, and - most of all - strong study skills that can help you with German now, and in your future academic career. That's where a San Francisco-Bay Area German class can come in.

Why take a Varsity Tutors San Francisco-Bay Area German Class?

People take languages courses for a variety of reasons, and German is no exception. Whether you're interested in traveling or are looking at a career in international business, learning German in today's world is a solid decision.

German is spoken by more than 90 million people all over the world and is one of the three working languages used in the European Union. It has the most native speakers in Europe and is the continent's second-most spoken language. You're as likely to hear the phrase Ich habe gehört, dein Großvater mag American Football (I heard your grandfather likes American football) in the halls of the European parliament as you are in the bier halls of Munich.

Many of the biggest hitters in the global economy are German companies, and the country's dedication to innovation and lower startup costs make it an inviting location for new tech startups.

Even though English and German share linguistic roots and have the same alphabet, there are a number of differences that can make learning German difficult.

German nouns have three genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter. In addition, all nouns in German are capitalized. In German, adjectives come before the noun they modify. Nouns and adjectives also rely on cases: modifications to a word that give the reader the information needed to make sense of what they're reading.

Working with a highly skilled instructor who can take the time to explain difficult concepts, answer your questions, practice with you, and help you tap into your study strengths can significantly improve your language-learning experience.
