1. What types of lessons are available? What should I choose?

> There are lessons at state-run German schools, private tutoring at home, and private online lessons.
Among these options, I believe the best choice is private online lessons, as they combine affordability with a personalized learning experience.

2. How many hours does it take to learn to speak and write in German?

> A serious German teacher will never promise to make you fluent in one, two, or three months. The reason is simple: they cannot predict how diligent you will be as a student or what your aptitude for learning foreign languages is!

3. What kind of books should I choose?

> There are "easy" books that some teachers select to make their work less demanding, but this is a mistake. The right books should include texts, plenty of exercises, and especially those that require translating sentences from Greek into German.

4. I only want to learn to speak German, not to write it. Is that possible?

> I'm sorry, but no, it isn't. Learning a foreign language must involve developing both written and spoken skills simultaneously.


5. I heard about a cheaper teacher or have already paid for lessons in advance.

> Whichever teacher you choose to work with, it is essential to have a trial lesson first. The chemistry between the student and the teacher, as well as the teacher's ability to convey knowledge effectively, plays a crucial role.

In conclusion, the truth is that you don’t need a large number of lessons, but the right approach. This is ensured by the teacher’s experience, ability to explain concepts clearly, and talent for inspiring you—combined with your own determination and dedication!
