How Much Grammar do We Need?

Hey there, language enthusiasts! In this video/podcast I’m diving deep into a question that plagues many language learners: How much grammar do we really need?
So you have worked hard on learning German, you are trying to remember all the different rules, but you never seem to be able to arrive to the point of speaking German. 

If that happened to you, then this video/Podcast is for you!

We’ll dive into the importance of focusing on practical application than learning many grammar rules.

Learning a new language should be about expressing yourself freely, even if your first few sentences aren’t perfect.

Together, we’ll uncover strategies to boost your language confidence and dispel the notion that you need to be a grammar genius to learn German.

I’ll share insights from my own experience as a language learner and provide practical tips you can implement right away.

I am Susi and was born and raised in Vienna, Austria. I originally trained to be an English teacher and a trainer in the United States, at Applied Scholastics in Missouri. Soon after I started teaching back in Vienna, people were also interested in learning German. So after some time I started teaching German with the same succesful method I already used in teaching English. In the meantime I only teach German online What I want to do on this website is to help as many German learners as possible by giving them information that will enable them to learn German better, motivate them and figure out why they are having troubles.
