If you have been looking for a comprehensive Salt Lake City German course to help you reach for your full potential, Varsity Tutors can enroll you in one of the best courses in the industry. German is the official language of Germany and Austria and one of three official languages in Switzerland, making it the native language of approximately 90 million individuals worldwide.
German is also a member of the West Germanic group of the Indo-European language family, the same group as English. While the languages share a few commonalities due to their shared language family, native English speakers still have a lot of new rules to learn when studying German. For example, many nouns are gendered in German, and nouns inflect by case (nominative, accusative, genitive, or dative), gender (masculine, feminine, and neuter), and number (singular or plural).
Whether you're attending German classes at a local high school such as Innovations High School or Highlands High School, taking German as an elective at Westminster College - Utah, or an adult learner planning a trip to Germany, we can help you improve your understanding of these rules and more. Continue reading to learn more about the benefits of enrolling in a Salt Lake City German class.
What skills can I practice during my Salt Lake City German course?
One of the hardest parts of learning any new language is finding opportunities to practice, as true immersion is often necessary to develop fluency in German pronunciation, grammar, sentence structure, and vocabulary. By enrolling in a Salt Lake City German class, you are setting aside time each week to practice your German with a knowledgeable instructor who can answer any questions you have. As your skills improve, your instructor might even conduct entire lessons in German to truly immerse you in the language. Of course, beginner-level classes involve instruction in English in order to help novices hone their fledgling German skills.
Taking a formal class can also help you improve your German writing skills. While many German learners never consider outlining German writing assignments they way they would an essay for an English or social studies class, doing so can actually be extremely beneficial. You can jot down vocabulary words you'll know you need so you don't get stuck trying to remember them later. Your instructor can also review your work, letting you know what you did well and any areas where you could improve.
Studying with an expert instructor can also help you understand the nuances of German grammar. For instance, there are three verb conjugation classes in German: weak, strong, and mixed. Your instructor can help you identify which of these is appropriate for any situation.
How do you structure your Salt Lake City German course offerings?
We do everything in our power to make German courses as accessible as possible. Each course takes places on a live virtual platform, an online classroom that allows you to interact with both your instructor and your classmates in real time without the hassle of commuting to a physical location. If you feel like you need some one-on-one study time to master an especially tricky concept, your instructor is also available for private sessions outside of normal course hours.
That said, many students find that they like the collaborative learning environment created by working with other students. Hearing other students speak gives you experience listening to a variety of accents that no instructor could reproduce on their own, providing a more realistic idea of what it would be like to be in a German-speaking country. You can also help each other out as needed, which gives you access to a peer's perspective that you may find more relatable than your instructor's. Studying in a group also gives you more value for your money, as you can split the bill with all of your new friends.
We understand how busy you are and designed our German classes accordingly. We offer multiple class sessions concurrently, making it easier to find one that fits into your lifestyle. Our class offerings include two- and four-week options for your convenience. New classes also launch monthly, so you never need to wait too long to get started.
