LEARN GERMAN

If youâre planning a trip to Germany, or even moving there, you might be asking: Should I learn German before going? The short answer?
Yes, if you want to feel confident, connected, and capable from day one.
Letâs shift the focus: itâs not about studying German, itâs about getting results. Youâre not just learning a language. Youâre preparing to navigate daily life, ask for help, make friends, and fully enjoy your experience in Germany. Thatâs the true goal.
Think of it like this: You donât want to memorize random vocabulary lists. You want to order food with ease, understand street signs, chat with locals, and handle emergencies without stress. Wouldnât it be nice to say âIch möchte bitte einen Nudelsalatâ instead of asking âCan I have the English menu, please?â Even small phrases like these can turn everyday moments into more meaningful connections. And thatâs what travel is really about. A few focused German lessons, especially ones that target practical, real-life conversation, can make a huge difference.
So instead of asking if you should learn German, ask yourself what kind of experience you want in Germany. If your answer includes feeling more confident, independent, and immersed, then learning some basic German ahead of time will set you up for a much smoother and more rewarding journey.
Even a little preparation can go a long way.
