But, no matter what your native language is, and even if German may seem tricky to you at first, don\u2019t get discouraged.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering if there are any shortcuts or specific ways how to learn German, we have mentioned a few in this guide that will help you make progress faster. There is no fixed period of time that guarantees you will succeed in learning the German language, but what\u2019s most important is consistency. You\u2019re not going to wake up one morning and find yourself speaking fluent German.<\/p>\n<p>That only happens in the movies. If you take just one step at a time, you\u2019ll see results happening fast. Learning a new language may take a different time depending on many factors like your prior experience and exposure to the language, your resilience, how much work you put into the learning process, motivation, and so on. But, if you practice on a daily basis for a period of at least three to six months, you\u2019ll probably be able to handle a daily conversation with a friend and doing things like getting into a cafe and making an order in German.<\/p>\n<p>Some people struggle more than others and need more time to reach that level but that\u2019s mostly because they\u2019re not putting in the effort and practicing daily. If you want to speak German fluently, it\u2019s probably going to take a few years of practice, but we\u2019re just looking to get started, right?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-learn-the-german-language\"><\/span><strong><span>How To Learn the German Language?<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here\u2019s how to<span>\u00a0<\/span><em>learn the German language fast and easy<\/em>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Find a strong reason that will keep you motivated.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Learn all the fundamentals of the\u00a0German language.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep things interesting by learning slang, funny words, and idioms.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Practice daily.

There are a few letters with pronunciation that doesn\u2019t exist in English:<span>\u00a0<\/span><b>\u00e4<\/b>,<b>\u00f6<\/b>,<b>\u00fc<\/b><span>\u00a0<\/span>and<span>\u00a0<\/span><b>\u03b2<\/b>, but you won\u2019t find these letters in the Alphabet.

It\u2019s grammar, right? Grammar is usually a nightmare for all people planning to get into a new language, and it\u2019s not the case only with the German language. But, learn this part well and you\u2019ll be speaking German fluently in no time. German has six tenses: Prasens, Pr\u00e4teritum, Perfekt, Plusquamperfekt, Futur I and Futur II.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pr\u00e4sens relates to the Present tense in English,<\/li>\n<li>Pr\u00e4teritum relates to Perfect tenses,<\/li>\n<li>Plusquamperfekt relates to Past Perfect,<\/li>\n<li>Futur I relates to the Future tense,<\/li>\n<li>Futur II relates to the Future perfect plus \u201cwill\u201d and \u201chave\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This relation is not completely accurate, but looking at the tenses this way will make it easier for you to understand German grammar. They have four cases (nominative, accusative, dative, genitive). Here is a tricky thing about German that many people mention often: the 16 forms that \u201cthe\u201d of English takes on German in different cases and gender. German has three noun prepositions for each gender: die (for feminine nouns), der (for masculine nouns), and das (for neutral gender). With every new word that you learn in the German language, you must also learn what preposition needs to come in front of it. It may confuse you at first because sometimes a biological gender may not match its grammatical gender. However, there are some rules determining which noun gets which article with exceptions. There\u2019s no need to stress about this part too much. Although you have to memorize all of them mechanically, a huge part of this grammar fundamental will soon start making more sense to you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"tdi_88\" class=\"tdc-row stretch_row\">\n<div class=\"vc_row tdi_89 wpb_row td-pb-row\">\n<div class=\"vc_column tdi_91 wpb_column vc_column_container tdc-column td-pb-span12\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper wpb_text_column td_block_wrap td_block_wrap vc_column_text tdi_92 tagdiv-type td-pb-border-top td_block_template_10\" data-td-block-uid=\"tdi_92\">\n<div class=\"tdi_92_rand_style td-element-style\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"td-block-title-wrap\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"td-fix-index\">\n<h3><strong>Need more help?

Like in any other language, you can find words in German that when translated literally in English sound really funny.<\/p>\n<p>For example, how do you call someone who pees outside the toilet in English?<\/p>\n<p>There is no specific word for these people in English, but in German, there is \u201cWildpinkler\u201d which literally means \u201cwild pee-er\u201d. Here is a list of the 10 funniest words in German and their meaning in English.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Brustwarze<\/strong><\/em><span>\u00a0<\/span>\u2013 breast wart.<br \/>This word literally means \u201cbreast wart\u201d. It stands for \u201cnipple\u201d in English. This is not the only funny word for body parts. There is also Zahnfleisch (tooth-meat) which actually means gums.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Liebfrauenmilch<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>\u2013 beloved lady milk.<br \/>This word originates from a German wine back in the 1700s and it refers to the Virgin Mary. The expression \u201cLiebfrauenmilch\u201d is now a legally protected name of German wine (from the Mosel region).<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Handschuhe<\/i><\/b><span>\u00a0<\/span>\u2013 hand shoes.<br \/>Germans don\u2019t have the time nor the patience to create a unique word for the clothes we wear on different parts of the body. Everything you put in your hands, they refer to Handschuhe which literally translates to \u201chand shoes\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Klobrille<\/i><\/b><span>\u00a0<\/span>\u2013 toilet glasses.<br \/>Germans are known as people who value cleanliness. Some say that when they get into a hotel before deciding to pass the night there they check toilets to be sure they\u2019re all clean. Toilet glasses are not actually any special device Germans use to inspect toilets. They are just toilet seats.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Stinktier \u2013\u00a0<\/i><\/b><i>Stink animal.<br \/><\/i>Germans name some animal from their smell, their looks, or any other treat, physical or non-physical, that differentiate them from the rest. The slug is an animal-like snail but without its home. Germans call it Nacktschnecke which literally is \u201ca naked snail\u201d. They call Wolverine Vielfra\u00df which means \u201ceat-a-lot\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Eselsbr\u00fccke<\/i><\/b><span>\u00a0<\/span>\u2013 donkey\u2019s bridge.<br \/>This term stands for the trick you use to help you remember something when it doesn\u2019t come to your mind at the moment you need it. It originates from the Latin term \u201cpons asinorum\u201d (bridge of donkeys).<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Donnerbalken<\/i><\/b><span>\u00a0<\/span>\u2013 thunder beam.<br \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-5337\" src=\"https:\/\/www.studying-in-germany.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/moustache.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.studying-in-germany.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/moustache.png 512w, https:\/\/www.studying-in-germany.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/moustache-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 296px) 100vw, 296px\" \/>This word long ago referred to the military latrine, but now in slang refers to the toilet. In English, the slang \u201cthunderbox\u201d would match it. You can guess what\u2019s funny about it.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Durchfall<\/i><\/b><span>\u00a0<\/span>\u2013 through fall It stands for \u201cdiarrhea\u201d\u201d in English.

For example, in English, they say \u201cI\u2019m running out of gas\u201d, but there is nobody running out of nowhere.<\/p>\n<p>It just means the car doesn\u2019t have much gas, that\u2019s all. These are idioms and Germany has plenty of them. Idioms are just expressions with a figurative meaning.<\/p>\n<p>In a way, they reveal the social and cultural background of a country. An English idiom may relate to an idiom in German, but they literally can be way different. For example, the English idiom \u201cpiece of cake\u201d refers to something that we did with ease and joy. In German, it is \u201cDas schaffe ich mit links\u201d, which in English literally means \u201cI could do that with my left hand only\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>So, learning idioms will definitely give you a creative sense of expressing your thoughts.

For centuries it was the land of many intellectual people and the greatest events. They influenced and shaped not just the culture of the old continent of Europe, but the culture of the whole globe. Their traces are all over the place and history.<\/p>\n<p>Germany, with over 81 million residents, is the second most populated country in Europe just behind Russia. 91% of the population is German, while Turkish are the biggest minority group with 2.4%. 70% identify themselves as Christians, 3.7% are declared as Muslims, while the rest are don\u2019t belong to a religion or have a religion other than Christian or Muslim.<\/p>\n<p>Germans are known as hard workers. They admire the precision and don\u2019t like excuses or making jokes out of them. Their attitude is cold and may seem unfriendly at first, but after all, they are good people. They love food, so it\u2019s not surprising they have a lot of traditional dishes. Their favorite drink is beer. Germans annual consumption of beer per capita is 106 litters, third worldwide. Germany produces more than 300 varieties of baked bread.<\/p>\n<p>Octoberfest, the greatest event of their favorite drink, the beer, is one of the many events that are held in Germany. Berlin Film Festival brings together film and art celebrities from all over the world.<\/p>\n<p>Germans are very good at the construction and automotive industries, making them one of the toughest competitors worldwide in these fields. Their impact and presence in historical architecture are all over Europe (Romanesque buildings, Gothics, Classicists, Baroque, Rococos and Renascences). Mostly there are old castles and religious objects. The tallest church in Germany is the Cathedral of Ulm 161.53 meters high.<\/p>\n<p>The homeland of many famous intellectual people who left their mark in history, that they gave to the world, are people like Einstein and Mozart. Germany is known as Das Land der Dichter und Denker (the country of poets and thinkers).<\/p>\n<p>Learn more\u00a0at our <a href=\"https:\/\/germaninstitute.co.in\/\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"tdi_123\" class=\"tdc-row\">\n<div id=\"german-food\" class=\"vc_row tdi_124 wpb_row td-pb-row\">\n<div class=\"vc_column tdi_126 wpb_column vc_column_container tdc-column td-pb-span12\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper wpb_text_column td_block_wrap td_block_wrap vc_column_text tdi_127 tagdiv-type td-pb-border-top td_block_template_10\" data-td-block-uid=\"tdi_127\">\n<div class=\"td-block-title-wrap\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"td-fix-index\">\n<h2 id=\"german-food\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"german-food\"><\/span>German Food<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-5370\" src=\"https:\/\/www.studying-in-germany.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/sausage.png\" alt=\"Learn German\" width=\"353\" height=\"353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.studying-in-germany.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/sausage.png 512w, https:\/\/www.studying-in-germany.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/sausage-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 353px) 100vw, 353px\" title=\"Learn German\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another thing that will make you love Germany is their traditional delicious food.

There is no reason to feel awkward about that because mistakes will help you pinpoint your struggles, so you can overcome them.<\/p>\n<p>When people start learning a second language apart from their mother tongue, they find some problems that are common for a language in particular, for example, an English native. Some of these mistakes rely on pronunciation or relating a word literally with your native. Like when you say \u201cbekommen\u201d it may associate you with the word \u201cto become\u201d but it has actually the meaning of getting something. These are called \u201cfalse friends\u201d. So pay attention.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Ich bekomme ein Geschenk<\/i><\/b>\u00a0\u2013 I get a present<\/p>\n<p>Another common mistake people who learn German make, are prepositions. In general, there are no general rules when it comes to this so it is up to your memory. But, don\u2019t worry you\u2019ll achieve a nice sense of it and it will all come naturally to you. For example, if you say \u201cnach Hause\u201d it means \u201c to the house\u201d while \u201czu Hause\u201d means to refer to house as a location. Another mistake is a word-for-word translation. The structure of sentences in German may be different compared to your language. Here is an example<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Dem Jungen gab ich einen Ball.<\/i><\/b>\u00a0\u00a0\u2013 \u00a0\u00a0I gave the boy a ball.<\/p>\n<p>If we were to translate it word-by-word it would be \u201cThe boy gave I one ball\u201d. You see, it may have a different meaning or it may be ridiculously wrong. Pronunciation mistakes are also common. Here are just five of them<\/p>\n<p><b><i>The letter \u201cz\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>The German letter \u201cz\u201d in English is spelled like \u201cts\u201d. For example, \u201cder Sturz\u201d (crash).<\/p>\n<p><b><i>The umlauts \u201c\u00f6\u201d, and \u201c\u00fc\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>These two vowels are considered to be the most difficult to pronounce. In English, such sounds don\u2019t exist. This makes it hard for a native German to teach you how to do it. It may help you consider the \u201ce\u201d sound in the word \u201cevery\u201d except now you have to round your lips. Practice will make it natural to you.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Alternate forms of \u00a0\u201cch\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>The \u201cch\u201d may sound different depending on what letter it stands in front of it. If \u201ci\u201d or \u201ce\u201d stands before \u201cch\u201d it makes it a hissing sound, like a cat. To produce this sound, touch your tongue to the roof of your mouth or your hard palate. If \u201ca\u201d,\u201do\u201d or \u201cu\u201d comes in front makes a harsh noise at the back of your throat. Surely it is not this easy, you have to get your ear used to sounds, so check as many German-language audios as you can.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>The letter \u201cs\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>This letter usually is spelled as \u201cz\u201d in English, but it also may vary. If it comes to the end it letters like \u201cz\u201d and if it is not, in the end, it\u2019s always spelled like the English \u201cz\u201d. The double \u201cSS\u201d is always spelled like \u201cs\u201d in English. Our mentors are ready to explain you how they are pronounced.
