Did you know that the German alphabet contains a unique consonant not found in any other Indo-European language? It’s called the "eszett," and though it looks like a “b” (ß), it is pronounced like a double “s.” If you want to discover more interesting facts about the fascinating German language, while learning to speak and understand it, don’t hesitate to contact Listen & Learn! We will prepare a course tailored to your preferences, so you can become fluent (or achieve specific learning targets) in a very short time! For instance, we’ll show you that this language is also famous for compounding its words to create news ones, and explain why this can be an advantage when learning. One benefit of compounding is that you can understand new words if you already know the individual words that form the compound, such as how kinder (“children”) and arzt (“doctor”) combine in German to create kinderarzt (“pediatrician”).
And your learning journey does not have to end when the lesson with our native-speaking instructors are over. Instead, you can join language exchange groups like Calgary German Language Meetup to gain confidence and put your skills into practice. And you’ll discover that knowledge of German is an asset in Calgary and can help you advance in your career, as many companies of German and Austrian origin are always hiring bilingual speakers. You can even get in touch with the German Business Center if you want to expand your own business overseas and into German-speaking territories!
Get in touch with us at Listen & Learn and we will prepare a course according to your specific skills and needs. Our professional instructors will prepare interactive lessons that will make you forget you are learning a language because of how much fun you will be having! Contact us today and soon you’ll understand what unique German words like schadenfreude (pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune) or fremdschämen (the process of being embarrassed by someone else) mean!
German lessons of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival German - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying German usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these German classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in German culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in German.

These German lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn German to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and once you have become more proficient then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with import/export, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations, and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even on our most rudimentary beginners lesson, students can expect to finish the lesson with decent telephone and e-mail German, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country.
