Though the majority of German native speakers live in Germany, the language is an official one in another four countries: Switzerland, Austria, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein. Furthermore, it is a native language in Northern Italy. And did you know that is one of the most-spoken languages in Europe, with more than 90 million speakers? To be proficient in German, then, is an asset you shouldn’t ignore. For instance, there are dozens of companies in Edinburgh who are always looking for German speakers to add to their teams, like HyperDigital, Agoda & Ingredients or Schuh. Contact us at Listen & Learn and we will help you strengthen your CV and increase your chances of landing a bilingual job in Edinburgh by becoming proficient in German.
German is infamous for being a difficult language to acquire, but this is an unfair and unwarranted reputation that shouldn’t scare you! For example, it’s much easier to pronounce words phonetically in German than in English. The grammar rules are far more consistent too, and there are far fewer exceptions as in English (e.g. words like blood, good and door are a nightmare for English language students because they are all spelled similarly but pronounced differently). Furthermore, you’ll be able to become proficient very quickly, as there are countless opportunities for you to practise your German in the city. For instance, you can join the Edinburgh German Meetup and test your skills with other students and native speakers.
So, if you can’t get enough of gripping German TV series, like Dark, and want to watch it without dubbing (or better still, without English subtitles), then contact us and we will prepare a personalised course for you to acquire the language in an interactive, fun way. Make your German-learning anxiety a thing of the past!
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.
