Conversational German Tutoring FAQ
Has it always been your dream to learn conversational German? Do you have relatives in Germany who you would like to converse with in their native language? Are you fascinated by all those words the German language has to express things that English lacks the words for, such as weltschmerz (the feeling of having the world on your shoulders) or the dreaded treppenwitz (not being able to think of a snappy comeback until the conversation is long over)? If you're here because you have searched for "conversational German tutoring near me," you've made it to the right place. Varsity Tutors can connect you with conversational German tutoring that can meet your particular language needs.
There are so many benefits to learning a foreign language, some of which are listed here:
Become a more interesting person who meets more interesting people
Avoid being targeted as a tourist when in another country
Make more logical decisions - a surprising benefit that studies have proven
Obtain the ability to haggle in foreign markets rather than paying the higher listed price
Gain the confidence rightfully earned by accomplishing a difficult goal
How long do you think it will take before you can start having discussions in German with your conversational German tutor? Would you be surprised to know that with the individual attention you receive through a private tutor, you can have your first German conversation by the end of your first lesson? It's true. It will be somewhat limited, but the best way to learn a language is to use it, and with individual conversational German tutoring, you can do so right from the start.
A qualified German tutor can help you with a number of learning tools. Perhaps you will use flashcards to build your vocabulary. Further along, you may visit a German restaurant or shop and use the opportunity to practice your language skills. Your tutor may help you realize that even when you're not able to speak perfectly, German speakers will appreciate your attempts and even help you as they see you honestly trying to speak with them in their language.
No doubt your life is busy, and Varsity Tutors will work to find the right conversational German tutor for your schedule. We can help you find a tutor who's available to meet you when and where it's most convenient, even online through our Live Learning Platform, if that's what you would prefer.
