Varsity Tutors can make it easier for you to learn German with a Raleigh-Durham German course that's offered entirely online. A traditional classroom setup may not always be the most convenient solution for students who want to learn a new language. But busy schedules, work responsibilities, and personal commitments can make it difficult for learners to attend supplementary classes. If you also have a hectic schedule but want to study German, Varsity Tutors offers online German courses that can be an excellent way for you to start learning.
Learning German can have many benefits. It can come in handy when you travel since it's used not only in Germany but also in Austria, Switzerland, and other parts of Europe. Many high school students from schools like Leesville Road High School and William G. Enloe High School choose to study German to fulfill a general education requirement, while college students from universities like North Carolina State University study it as their second language. Whether you are a student or a working professional, you can find a Raleigh-Durham German class suited to your level.
What material will a Raleigh-Durham German course cover?
Depending on your level, you will cover different topics in your German course. For beginners, basic grammar and sentence structure will be taught. As you progress in your level, more complex language topics will be covered, such as temporal prepositions, relative sentences, and verb conjugation. These higher level topics in German can be very challenging, even for students who already have a background of the language.
One of the first things you will notice with German is that nouns have corresponding genders. These are masculine, feminine, and neuter. Each gender also takes a specific article - der, die, or das. When learning nouns in German, it's a good study habit to also learn their respective articles at the same time.
Other topics that you will also cover in your Raleigh-Durham German class include singular and plural forms, pronunciation, cases (nominative, accusative, genitive, and dative), vocabulary, and essential phrases. Your class will cover all these in a very supportive learning environment where you can ask questions and get plenty of opportunities to practice what you have learned immediately.
How will a Raleigh-Durham German course help me learn?
Enrolling in a German course with Varsity Tutors gives you access to highly qualified German instructors who can help you reach for your goals. We have a rigorous screening process for instructors, which ensures that they are not just fluent in the language but also know how to communicate its nuances in a way that helps students easily grasp the meaning of words and expressions.
Also, attending a German course gives you the regular exposure you need to get better. You will hear, read, and write German in your exercises and speak the language with other students in the class. Throughout the class, your instructor can guide you on proper grammar, pronunciation, and usage of the language so you can sound natural when speaking German.
Besides trained instructors and interactive lessons, your Raleigh-Durham German class is taught entirely online, which makes it convenient for busy learners. You don't need to worry about commuting and how you are going to get to class on time. Since the course is online, we can offer a wider range of course times, which gives you more options when it comes to choosing a class that fits your schedule.
There may be situations where you would like to work more closely on certain topics in order to gain a better understanding of them. If so, you can also request one-on-one time with your German instructor to get personalized, more focused attention. Our German courses provide this type of language support so that you have more avenues to improve your language skills.

...a tutor, I am a musician. In addition to singing, I play the violin and viola and dabble in everything from Bach to bluegrass to covers of pop songs. As an opera singer, I have studied Spanish, Italian, French and German and am accordingly fascinated by the etymology of words in my own cobbled-together language. I also have a special place in my heart for books about turn-of-the-century magicians and anything Viennese.... My teaching philosophy is one of guidance rather than direct instruction, helping students to discover answers on their own. I am very patient and understand that sometimes all it takes to understand a difficult concept is to explain it in a few different ways. We all learn differently, so I aim to develop an individualized approach for each student in order to make the most of our time together.
