German is a useful language to learn, especially if you plan on traveling to Europe. It is the 11th most spoken language in the world, with around 90 million native speakers, and it is the #1 most spoken language in Europe. Around 16 percent of the population in Europe speaks German as their native tongue, and many more speak it as a second language. German is not only spoken in Germany. It is also the official language of Austria and one of the three official languages of Switzerland.

What might I learn when taking Richmond German lessons?

German is one of the Romance languages. In the Romance languages, nouns have historically been gendered. This means that nouns could be either masculine or feminine. In German, there is even a third gender - a neutral gender. English does not have gendered nouns. In German and other Romance languages, the rest of the words in a sentence can change based on the gender of the noun being used. It is not always easy to figure out the gender of any specific noun. Often, you need to memorize the genders of nouns. This has long caused problems for native English speakers when learning Romance languages such as German. However, when taking Richmond German lessons, you can learn about gendered nouns. Your instructor can help you understand what the genders of specific nouns are and how the rest of a sentence might change based on that. In addition, nouns can also affect the rest of a sentence based on their number or case.

Studying German in a class setting can give you an opportunity to join in on German discussions. Our Richmond classes take place over the internet in virtual classrooms. This means that you can take them from your own home, from your office, in a library, or wherever is convenient for you. During class, you can ask questions about concepts that are challenging you. The class instructor might even conduct sections of the class entirely in German, depending on your skill level.

If you don't feel as if taking a virtual class would be the best option for you, consider getting private instruction from a Richmond German tutor. As you progress in your knowledge, you can develop confidence when conversing in German. It can also help you feel confident about your ability to keep up with your school classes if you are studying German in Armstrong High School, Huguenot High School, or another high school in the Richmond area. This can help improve your attitude and help you become more enthusiastic about studying German.

When studying with a private Richmond German tutor, you can develop your learning skills and independent thinking skills. Private language instruction can give you an opportunity to ask as many questions as you would like without fear of holding up the class. You can study at a pace that works for you and go as slowly or as quickly as you like. This is a great way to supplement your German classes at the University of Richmond or another university.

Studying with a private mentor can be done over the internet. You can use our virtual whiteboard and our video chat, as well as the other tools of our Live Learning Platform, to study with your instructor one-on-one online. This way, you can schedule study sessions without having to worry about having to leave your home. Some students might prefer to meet their instructor in person instead of over the internet. This can be arranged as well. You can meet your instructor at your home or at another location that is convenient for you.
