Deutsch lernen ohne Chaos_ So fängst du am besten an! (B_C-Niveau)

This is all so overwhelming Hello and welcome to Lingster Academy I'm your German teacher Julia and we're kicking off the new year with this question Where should I start learning It's all so overwhelming and my mind is a complete mess No matter what level you're at right now After watching this video you'll know exactly what to learn giving you a clearer structure and less stress You'll also receive my free study plan and plenty of practice materials Besides why does learning German overwhelm you so much Does what you're currently learning actually help you at all And my honest answer is possibly not Because many people don’t realize that German isn’t just about grammar and vocabulary but about skills You're learning German to actively use it and communicate with others in real-life situations You don’t need to tackle all the tenses first then the four cases and then the subjunctive What you need is first and foremost answer to the questio Do you need to speak with clients at work Then practice client conversations Do you need to write emails Then practice writing emails Are you preparing for an exam Then practice with the sample tests for this exam Keep making the same mistakes over and over Then correct exactly these mistakes so you don't make them again That might sound trivial but if I want to learn how to play football Then I'm not going straight to the gym to build muscle am I I grab a ball and start practicing playing football And maybe I’ll finally head to the gym only when I realize I need stronger legs or more stamina Do you understand what I'm trying to say To truly improve you must start where you want to be And remember you won't accomplish everything all at once You need small but effective steps then you'll truly improve It's also extremely important to actively use your German You don't need to be perfect or error-free But you should regularly take action instead of just preparing—apply what you've learned So now my question to you Pick one thing you want to improve over the next four weeks and write it in the comments But please don't write anything just to improve my German Be specific—pick one skill not a grammar topic Alright now you've set your first goal What happens next Of course you need to know your current level And for that you'll take a placement test You can get it free from me at linkster de After the test you'll receive your results so you'll know where you went wrong and that way you can immediately correct a few mistakes and have you already learned something new today Now the big question How do we actually learn something new the fastest so that we can remember them long-term Learning German always involves four elements Reading listening writing and speaking To improve quickly you should train all four simultaneously Take a look at this diagram and you'll immediately understand what I mean We best retain information when we actively apply it So if you say something write it down and do it in some way You'll remember up to 90% of it and store it long-term in your brain In practice this might mean you thoroughly research a topic and then explain or demonstrate it to someone Also if you only read something you'll remember just about 10% of it—don't you prefer getting 90% instead Generally speaking the more contact you have with the language and the four elements—reading listening writing and speaking—the better It's also much more effective to practice a little every day than to study five hours once a week Your brain is like a muscle and the more often you train it the faster it grows How can you now practically apply this to your own situation and create a study plan Click the link below this video to access my free study package There you'll find your study plan along with plenty of materials to practice Fill your learning plan with the goals you have for the next few months Also write down how many hours per week you can commit And then just start without making excuses Put your phone down gather the materials relevant to you and begin And don't forget: reading listening writing speaking reading If you want to study for 2 hours you can read for 30 minutes That's ideal for making quick progress To practice speaking on your own you can read texts aloud This helps you produce accurate German and improves your pronunciation and speaking speed If you're experiencing writer's block simply copying a German text can help you move forward—this too can beneficial The fastest and most effective approach of course is when you' re guided personally and corrected along the way toward your goal That's why I've created intensive programs at Lingster Academy to help you reach B and C levels and pass your German exam The principle is simple and logical
