Don&#039;t waste time looking for study materials<\/h3><p>There is anything and everything on YouTube. But nothing can be grasped... For proper language learning, chronology is crucial.<\/p><p>You need to have an effective system to follow to make learning easier for yourself. If you spend more time looking for where to start, what and how... You will prepare the materials<strong> waste precious energy (and time!)<\/strong> which you would be better off using for studying.<\/p><p>You will get lost in the organization and thus <strong>slow down your progress<\/strong>!<\/p><p>To progress faster, you need a clear, chronological system. That&#039;s why my courses and tools are organized so you know exactly what goes first and what goes next: through <a href=\"https:\/\/mystorezoki.org\/en\/premium-plus\/\">Premium Plus<\/a> you get a complete program of grammar and tasks by levels, <a href=\"https:\/\/mystorezoki.org\/en\/also-a-german-conversation-course\/\">AI conversation course<\/a> gives you ready-made scenarios for practicing speaking, while <a href=\"https:\/\/mystorezoki.org\/en\/anki\/\">Anki<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/mystorezoki.org\/en\/quizlet\/\">Quizlet Plus<\/a> applications are used for systematic learning of words and expressions.<\/p><p>(The speed of learning a foreign language directly depends on how well you know the grammar of your own mother tongue. This is one of the most important tips for learning German. You noticed the column &quot;Daily Dose of Grammar Expressions&quot; ... A little chronology is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mystorezoki\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">on Facebook<\/a> - and a big one <a href=\"https:\/\/mystorezoki.org\/en\/premium-plus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">within our Premium Plus service<\/a>&#8230;)<\/p><h3>2. Determine where you should start studying with the German proficiency test<\/h3><p>The Einstufungstest (German language test) can help you assess your current knowledge. That way, you know exactly whether the lessons are for beginners or if you can already move on to more advanced material.<\/p><p>Knowledge of the German language is divided into levels (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2). If you don&#039;t understand what this means, you can read more about the levels of German knowledge <a href=\"https:\/\/mystorezoki.org\/en\/levels-of-knowledge-of-the-german-language\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p><p>When you know which level you belong to, you can adapt your learning to yourself and therefore be much more effective. A beginner doesn&#039;t have the same needs as someone preparing for an international exam - so it&#039;s important to first figure out where you are now.<\/p><p data-start=\"773\" data-end=\"798\">And how do you check that?<\/p><p>With the help of the Einstufungstest, find out what level your knowledge of German is. Completely <strong>free<\/strong>, you can take the German language test by clicking <a href=\"https:\/\/mystorezoki.org\/en\/determining-the-level-of-knowledge-of-the-german-language\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p><p>Based on the results, you can choose what suits you best:<br data-start=\"1009\" data-end=\"1012\" \/>\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/mystorezoki.org\/en\/premium-plus\/\">Premium Plus<\/a> service for systematic learning of grammar and tasks by levels,<br data-start=\"1088\" data-end=\"1091\" \/>\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/mystorezoki.org\/en\/preparation-for-taking-the-certificate-exam-individual-live-teaching\/\">1:1 individual lessons<\/a> if you want faster progress or serious preparation for the certificate,<br data-start=\"1178\" data-end=\"1181\" \/>\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/mystorezoki.org\/en\/also-a-german-conversation-course\/\">AI conversation course<\/a> when you already have a foundation and want to practice speaking in real situations.<\/p><p>We also use the system to learn new words <a href=\"https:\/\/mystorezoki.org\/en\/quizlet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quizlet<\/a> (A1 has 650 words, A2 has 2,000 words - while the system for B1-B2 has 10,000 most important words), so that through interesting language games <strong>learned new words more easily<\/strong>.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1699 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/mystorezoki.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/lilartsy-333oj7zFsdg-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"Tips for learning German\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mystorezoki.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/lilartsy-333oj7zFsdg-unsplash.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mystorezoki.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/lilartsy-333oj7zFsdg-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mystorezoki.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/lilartsy-333oj7zFsdg-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p><h3>3. Practice the verbs by writing them in a notebook<\/h3><p>A special group of words to learn are verbs (eg 100 most important and most frequently used verbs). At first glance, this seems very difficult and demanding to many. This is mostly because <strong>they learn the wrong way<\/strong>.<\/p><p>Speak up <strong>cannot memorize<\/strong> word for word, without any understanding. That is maybe it can - but it would be a very long and arduous process for you. With the right technique, memorizing new verbs can be many times easier.<\/p><p>Practice by writing in a notebook. You will notice which verb looks like it to you, which belong to the same group. With that <strong>you learn the principles and connect the material<\/strong>, you make associations that make it easier for you to continue learning German.<\/p><h3>4. Learn nouns immediately together with genders<\/h3><p data-start=\"1186\" data-end=\"1379\">If you don&#039;t learn the gender of nouns right at the beginning, you will have double work later on. Students often have to go back hundreds of words to &quot;add&quot; their gender\u2014which is time-consuming and confusing.<\/p><p data-start=\"1381\" data-end=\"1598\">The best practice is to <strong data-start=\"1403\" data-end=\"1463\">learn each new noun immediately along with its gender<\/strong> (der, die, das) and ideally \u2014 in one short sentence or phrase. Thus gender becomes part of the word itself, and not something that is &quot;remembered afterwards&quot;.<\/p><p data-start=\"1600\" data-end=\"1870\">If you&#039;re learning through apps like Anki or other flash systems, always add gender to the same card \u2014 that&#039;s how automatic recognition builds. With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emailmeform.com\/builder\/form\/kbD8dtc5L1X\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">individual lessons<\/a> you can also get additional explanations about rules and exceptions, which saves you time in the long run and speeds up progress.<\/p><h3>5. Talk and make mistakes<\/h3><p>Once you&#039;ve mastered it, it gets easier.<\/p><p>Many people skip this step, fearing that they will sound stupid if they make mistakes. But it&#039;s the practice and talking out loud that will help you one day, in the future, <strong>you speak german perfectly<\/strong>.<\/p><p>In order to get to that stage, it is necessary to make mistakes first - that is the best way to learn. You have to be &quot;bad&quot; first to get better. If you don&#039;t allow yourself to go through a period of mistakes, <strong>never<\/strong> you won&#039;t make it to your period without them!<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1702 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/mystorezoki.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/priscilla-du-preez-7s3biR6HATU-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"Top tips for learning German\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mystorezoki.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/priscilla-du-preez-7s3biR6HATU-unsplash.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mystorezoki.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/priscilla-du-preez-7s3biR6HATU-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mystorezoki.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/priscilla-du-preez-7s3biR6HATU-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p><h3>6. Set limits for yourself<\/h3><p>Block yourself a fixed time to learn German. Turn off the mobile phone, computer, throw everything out of the room... Eliminate all distractions so that nothing disturbs you while studying.<\/p><p>If you look at the material a little, and few people have liked anyone on social networks, then your friend sends you a funny video that lasts only 15 seconds, so why not watch it right away... But then you have to respond to her immediately because it&#039;s your turn, and of course you are very interested in what she is doing now, etc. - <strong>there is nothing from learning<\/strong>.<\/p><p>In this way, it will work for you <strong>Yours<\/strong> <strong>learning lasts forever<\/strong>, because you are in front of your material all the time (where does that time go?), you haven&#039;t even left your room, and you feel like you haven&#039;t learned anything. All in vain!<\/p><p>On the other hand, if you have enough discipline to focus only on studying for a certain period, you will finish it faster <strong>achieve better results<\/strong>. When you&#039;re done, you&#039;ll have a sense of accomplishment and you&#039;ll have plenty of time left for other activities. As a result, you will look at learning German much more positively and have more motivation to progress further.<\/p><h3>7. Be persistent and persevere - especially when you feel no progress<\/h3><p>There are no shortcuts like &quot;German in 3 days&quot; - learning a language is a process and it&#039;s natural to get stuck sometimes. The most important thing is not to give up then. Even when you feel like progress is stalling, keep going.<\/p><p data-start=\"665\" data-end=\"977\">Take a proactive approach and ask for clarification whenever something is unclear. During <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emailmeform.com\/builder\/form\/1hze63NM7DcrIqU\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">live grammar lessons<\/a> and on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emailmeform.com\/builder\/form\/kbD8dtc5L1X\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">individual lessons<\/a> you can ask questions in real time, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emailmeform.com\/builder\/form\/96LZmpCP395\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AI conversation course<\/a> gives you the opportunity to practice even when there are no classes. With support and regular work, you will overcome all difficulties.<\/p><p>It can&#039;t always be easy. I am here to help you do that work <strong>pleasant, even fun<\/strong>. Keep a positive attitude and don&#039;t give up. It will pay off.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1700 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/mystorezoki.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/fa-barboza-G69_gU76BgQ-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"Top 10 tips for learning German online\" width=\"1024\" height=\"792\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mystorezoki.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/fa-barboza-G69_gU76BgQ-unsplash.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mystorezoki.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/fa-barboza-G69_gU76BgQ-unsplash-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mystorezoki.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/fa-barboza-G69_gU76BgQ-unsplash-768x594.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p><h3>8. Create a &quot;German environment&quot;<\/h3><p>Mobile phone, Facebook and other applications that you use every day <strong>switch to German<\/strong>. Follow interesting topics in German on YouTube, series on Netflix, etc.<\/p><p>The more you are surrounded by the language you are learning, the faster you will learn <strong>get into a habit<\/strong>. You will learn German even when you are not learning it ie. even when you don&#039;t make a conscious effort to do so.<\/p><h3>9. Imitate native German speakers<\/h3><p>This also applies to all other languages. Imitate native speakers without laughing, just the way they talk. You can be funny to yourself, but it&#039;s normal for them. So will your German <strong>sound much better<\/strong>.<\/p><p>You&#039;ll actually be funnier to strangers when <em>not<\/em> you speak with their accent, but Serbian, Croatian or whatever your mother tongue is. So imitate them and your speech and communication style will become <strong>far more natural<\/strong>. In time, it will no longer be funny to you either, but you will be proud to speak like a native German<\/p><h3>10. Don&#039;t save in the wrong place<\/h3><p>Don&#039;t settle for just that <a href=\"https:\/\/mystorezoki.org\/en\/free-german-language-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">advertising lessons from You Tube<\/a>.
