FAQ

Frequently asked questions about learning German

Is German really difficult to learn?

German is rated level 3 out of 5 in difficulty for English speakers (similar to Polish, more accessible than Arabic or Japanese). The 4 grammatical cases (Nominative, Accusative, Dative, Genitive) and 3 genders (der/die/das) are the main challenges. But German grammar is regular and logical, with far fewer exceptions than English. Our teachers introduce cases through everyday situations and real-life contexts, not abstract tables.

Why learn German rather than another European language?

Germany is the world's 3rd largest economy and Europe's top exporter. Speaking German gives a major competitive advantage in engineering, the automotive industry (BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen, Audi), finance (Deutsche Bank), scientific research and chemistry (BASF, Bayer). More than 18% of the world's scientific papers are published in German. Knowing German also makes it easier to learn Dutch, Swedish and other Scandinavian languages.

Can you prepare for the Goethe-Zertifikat with Targumi?

Yes. We offer complete preparation for Goethe-Zertifikat certifications (A1 to C2), the world standard for German, as well as TestDaF for university studies in Germany. Our teachers know the exact exam format, written production, listening comprehension, speaking and interaction, and train you on exercises from previous exams. Goethe B2 is often required for positions in German or Austrian companies.

What is the difference between German in Germany, Austria and Switzerland?

Standard German (Hochdeutsch) is taught in schools and used in the media across all 3 countries. But regional variants can be surprising: Austrian German has its own vocabulary ('Erdapfel' for potato, 'Semmel' for a bread roll), and Swiss German (Schweizerdeutsch) is so distinct in pronunciation that a German speaker may find it incomprehensible. At Targumi, we teach Hochdeutsch while preparing you to understand regional variants.

How do you memorise noun genders in German (der/die/das)?

The honest truth: there is no universal rule for genders in German. But there are very reliable indicators: words ending in '-ung' are always feminine (die Wohnung, die Meinung), those in '-chen' are always neuter (das Madchen), and days, months and seasons are masculine (der Montag, der Januar). Our teachers systematically teach every word with its article, 'die Wohnung', never 'Wohnung' alone, to build reflexes from the very start.

Is German useful outside of Germany?

The DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) has 100 million speakers and a combined GDP of over 5 trillion euros. German is also the 2nd most used language in European businesses after English. In Switzerland, job listings in finance, pharma and tech often require German. And in Central Europe (Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary), German remains the language of business in many industrial sectors.

How long does it take to learn German?

For an English speaker, reaching a conversational B1 level in German takes around 8 to 12 months with regular classes. Declensions and genders take time, but the grammar is very regular once the foundations are in place. At Targumi, native teachers introduce cases through real-life situations and you start speaking German from your very first class in small groups.

Can you learn German on your own?

The basics of vocabulary and grammar are accessible self-taught, but correct pronunciation, declensions in context and spoken fluency require human guidance. Self-taught learners often end up with rigid, textbook-style German. At Targumi, our native teachers teach you living German, the kind actually spoken in Berlin, Vienna or Zurich, with real-time corrections.

How much do German courses cost on Targumi?

Targumi offers 3 plans: monthly, quarterly, and lifetime access. All plans include live small-group classes with native teachers, interactive lessons, and the community. See full pricing on the pricing page.

Are the German courses online or in person?

100% online. Live classes happen in small groups via Google Meet. You can join from anywhere in the world. The mobile and web app stay accessible 24/7 for interactive lessons.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes. Targumi offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on all plans. If you are not satisfied, just email [email protected] for a full refund.

How do I cancel my subscription?

You can cancel anytime from your profile (“My subscriptions” section) with no hidden fees. Your access stays active until the end of your paid period.
