At the end of this blog, I would like to summarize information about the study of foreign languages in general. 

So, we found out that attending good foreign language schools is a good idea. Of course, there is a reference to Deutsch Akademie. This is a good place ^_–. However, how else in this world do people learn foreign languages?

There are three most typical things you can hear. Watch movies on this language, listen to music and read books. Yes, it is useful, but this is not enough.

You can install the application on your phone, but as quickly as you installed it, you will forget about it just as quickly. The first is a simple rule, you need a lot of hard work by yourself. Learn more words than you need for your language level. For example, if you A 1 learn all the words for A 2 and so on. However, take your time with the grammar, stretch the enjoyment ^-^. 

Now is the most difficult part. To speak quickly and well in another language, you need to get into this language environment. This does not mean that you simply live in Germany. Every day you have to talk with native speakers in work or study areas. After at least three months, you speak freely enough and then you will only reduce the number of errors. This is a proven path. 

I wish you good luck with learning German and creating new ways to learn it well!

So, there is also a Conversation club. I will tell you a secret to combining a Conversation club and an intensive course is lot of stuff but also fun. Although, I really liked this month and I would have done so again.

At the same time, the Conversation club will be useful to those who came to Germany for a short time. Just so you can talk in any store.

There’s also a grammar course. Be sure to pay attention to it, it’s unusual! There are no usual levels of language, but there are four large sections. I heard from my favorite teacher that this course is ideal for generalizing and structuring knowledge. So if you like I have been learning a language on your own up to B 1, then you will definitely need this course. 

What will be in it in detail, I do not know yet. But maybe I will tell you more in the future =)

In Deutsch Akademie there are many kinds of courses. There is always a question which is better to choose. Of course, you can find detailed information on the website or from specialists at school. But I would like to briefly share my opinion.

For several months I attended an intensive course. It really was intense. You feel like you have German lessons every day and all day long because there was quite a lot of homework. But, of course, you feel progress.

Therefore, the main advice for choosing an intensive course will be the training of day planning. I managed to do everything because I love planning. I like when every minute is scheduled. If you do not like to do this, then choose a semi-intensive course. To determine the level of intensive course you need to pass the test. There are no exceptions. 

It’s great that textbooks can be bought at school. You will not need to specifically look for them and spend time on it in a bookstore. Although I like bookstores, there’s not much fun looking for textbooks.

After the course, the books remain with you and you can additionally train when you want. This is also great.

Probably each of you heard that in Germany there are many different dialects. So this is the most serious problem of saving motivation for those who have just started learning the language.

My husband and I live in Munich, but his relatives live in eastern Germany and moreover in a small village. Especially in a small village, people definitely do not have a desire to use the standard German language for a beginner. You learned the language for long, you understand so much, you talk on the topic of migration or politics, and again …At one moment you cannot understand that you were asked ‘is it a strong tea or not‘… -_-

One more detail is interesting. Three months ago, I was glad to hear a few familiar words in a row and say 1 or 2 sentences. At this level, it seemed to me that the dialect was not very strong from what I had learned. The second time, I was shocked by how the same German language can differ, depending on where you live. In Russia, this does not exist. 

What to do with it, I have not decided yet. Learning all dialects is not possible. It is possible to learn one or two dialects, but in the first year of study, this greatly hinders the study of German as a whole. If someone has any ideas, write in the comments or to my mail rouva@mail.ru.

The question is very tourist and subjective. =) Of course, I like walking around the historical center, next to Marienplatz, but there are many other interesting places that I like. 

For example, opposite the Deutsches museum (which you must visit, it will be interesting to everyone) there is a Gothic cathedral, which resembles a castle, with two beautiful towers

Just next to this place is very cool to sit on the river bank on a sunny day. The river is also very beautiful and fast, called Isar. People say this is a mountain river and I willingly believe them. Also In the Englischer Garten. There is a fast river, so fast that in summer there are people surfing 0.o… 

In Munich, almost 90% of the streets are very beautiful and it’s nice to walk there. One of these streets is Nymphenburger Str. It is possible to exit this street from the city center as well. There are not many tourists and you can just see how people live in the city.

Olympia Tower seemed to me a bit boring, so I recommend going to the observation platforms in the center of the city is much more impressive. But if you have a lot of time, then I advise you to walk around the city without a map. You can accidentally find amazing things!

The learning process can be annoying, even if there is a great motivation to learn. A student may tire of a long lesson even if he is no longer a child.
Some people think when a student is older than the more serious lesson should be. It is not true.

We all want fun, we all want to enjoy what we do. We can also enjoy grammar if we got the right approach. Jokes, interesting stories, pictures and music, all this helps to go thru the material faster and more successfully.   

In Deutsch Akademie is always fun. We laugh with the teacher heartily, but what is important and also fun, often is on the topic of classes! 
And this is a double benefit. Also, for example, we always have a small conversation at the break. Such a spontaneous conversation is better than 10 exercises from the book. 

Although one detail about talking. Do not believe the teacher when he says that he (or she) will not correct you so that you would not be afraid to speak later. This means that the teacher himself is not 100% sure of his knowledge. Although this does not happen with teachers who is a native speaker. Therefore, it is indisputably better to learn a language with a native speaker than with just a good teacher, also for this reason.

Returning to the main topic of this blog once again I will say the main thing. With a positive approach, a challenging educational process can be an interesting adventure!

Do you have fun in class?
