English and German look (and sound) very different, but did you know they actually belong to the same linguistic branch (called Germanic)? In fact, it was only in the last 500 years or so that the two languages diverged to their present forms. This means that many aspects of the language (like vocabulary and word order) are similar, which can benefit English speakers learning German. For example, you don’t have to learn a new alphabet (as in the case for languages like Russian or Arabic) because both English and German share the same 26 letters. So, what are you waiting for? Contact us at Listen & Learn and join the worldwide community of more than 220 million German speakers.
Germany has the third-strongest economy and is the number one export nation in the world, which translates into business opportunities. So, learning the language can be an asset if you are planning to look for a new, international job or if you want to establish your own company abroad. Furthermore, being a German learner in Reading also means you’ll find plenty of opportunities to put your new language skills into play. For example, you can join the Berkshire German Language Meetup and have a great time with like-minded people while practising your German!
And while German might seem intimidating at first, our professional tutors will point out rules and tips to help you achieve fluency in a smooth, painless way. Let’s take German plurals as an example. When we form plurals in English, we usually just add an -s. In German, you have to choose between an -e, -er, -n, -en, -s or no ending at all. So, it’s very useful to know that most masculine nouns take an -e ending. Want to know more? Sign up for a course with us at Listen & Learn!
These German lessons fit a broader spectrum and can be useful for those who need different things from the language. Most beginner students will have a handle of survival German by the end of their lesson, which will provide them with enough German to communicate at least at a basic level during short trips to the country, but those who require more would benefit greatly from these sessions. Typical students have been those eager to travel all over the world, those buying overseas property, those with foreign spouses, aficionados of German culture and those who just wish to pass a particular German exam.

These German lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn German to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette. Once you have become more proficient, then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with imports and exports, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even in our most rudimentary lesson for beginnners, students can expect to finish with decent telephone and e-mail German, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country where the language is spoken.
