Although learning languages can be difficult, Varsity Tutors offers a San Francisco-Bay Area German course that can get you the tools you need to pursue mastery. Many schools require at least some credits in a second language. You could be taking beginning German at Abraham Lincoln High School, advanced German at Lowell High School, or even intermediate classes at San Francisco University. Wherever you are on your path to German mastery, the San Francisco-Bay Area German course can provide the support you need to expand your knowledge and understanding.
Although teachers and professors do their best, they are usually limited by instructional time, rigid curriculum, and full classrooms that can minimize their ability to help students who need an extra boost - or are flat-out struggling. In addition, students who become fluent in a different language very seldom do so with classroom instruction alone.
To really get the most out of your language learning experience, you need opportunities to practice speaking and listening, someone who can answer your questions, and - most of all - strong study skills that can help you with German now, and in your future academic career. That's where a San Francisco-Bay Area German class can come in.
Why take a Varsity Tutors San Francisco-Bay Area German Class?
People take languages courses for a variety of reasons, and German is no exception. Whether you're interested in traveling or are looking at a career in international business, learning German in today's world is a solid decision.
German is spoken by more than 90 million people all over the world and is one of the three working languages used in the European Union. It has the most native speakers in Europe and is the continent's second-most spoken language. You're as likely to hear the phrase Ich habe gehört, dein Großvater mag American Football (I heard your grandfather likes American football) in the halls of the European parliament as you are in the bier halls of Munich.
Many of the biggest hitters in the global economy are German companies, and the country's dedication to innovation and lower startup costs make it an inviting location for new tech startups.
Even though English and German share linguistic roots and have the same alphabet, there are a number of differences that can make learning German difficult.
German nouns have three genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter. In addition, all nouns in German are capitalized. In German, adjectives come before the noun they modify. Nouns and adjectives also rely on cases: modifications to a word that give the reader the information needed to make sense of what they're reading.
Working with a highly skilled instructor who can take the time to explain difficult concepts, answer your questions, practice with you, and help you tap into your study strengths can significantly improve your language-learning experience.
How can a Varsity Tutors San Francisco-Bay Area course help me?
In a San Francisco-Bay Area German class, you can improve your chances of German fluency by leveraging your unique learning style. How people learn is rarely one-size-fits-all, so instructors may try multiple approaches to determine whether you are a visual learner, an auditory learner - or if you retain more using other methods.
Sessions can explore mechanics like spelling, grammar, punctuation, and pronunciation of German letters and letter combinations. For further insight, the sessions may cover broad cultural concepts like German traditions, or dig deep into the nuances of German word pronunciation.
The San Francisco-Bay Area German course is delivered exclusively online, in a comfortable, low-stress virtual environment. In this space, you'll be able to see, hear, and interact as if you were in the same room with your instructor. Meeting online saves time and money, and eliminates transportation hassles. Learn in the comfort of your home - or wherever you learn best.
You can also choose whether you would like to work one-on-one, or learn with a group of fellow students who may be tackling the same challenges as you. In a group setting, you have the chance to have discussions, practice one-on-one conversation skills, and gain insight through others whose experiences and insights can deepen your understanding and make connections that you might not otherwise.
How can I join?

Panta: San Francisco German course instructor
...I learned German fin Germany when I was on the year-long Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange program in high school. I went to Germany knowing only a few words, so I definitely know language learning frustrations first-hand. I kept working at it, studied abroad again at the University of Bonn, and earned my Bachelor's degree in German! I was able to apply these skills as an educator when I taught English in Austrian high schools for two...
