Learn German as a foreign Language In order to learn German as a second or third language, repetition is necessary. And in order to speak German as a foreign language fluently, you have to know the 2,000 most important words of the German language. And it is also very essential to practice a second language every day.

I know from our own personal experience that practicing a foreign language every day is hard to fulfill. But if you find a way to learn German just 10 minutes every day, it is very effective in the long run and it will help you more than 3 hours once a week. So with this in mind, I created something really powerful for you. I created this site here with a selection of the most important German words. Only seven German words are displayed for a few days, then I will show you seven new German words. Your task is to listen to the seven German words as often as possible at least once a day.

Ever thought about moving to Germany? If it is your wish to move to Germany one day and work in Germany, you need to speak German fluently. Even if you speak English perfectly, you won't get very far. A lot of Germans speak English but not everyone. You can earn a lot of money with a good job in Germany, but you have to invest some time before and learn the language. If you are young, it is quite a good idea to be an au pair in Germany first. There are a lot of programs that provide young woman and men the opportunity to live with a host family for some time as an au pair. It would be your job to take care of the family's children. You would also assist and help the family with the household. The payment is not very high at that time but you would be in the country, would learn the language and you would be able to look for a great and better paying job. The pocket money for an au pair in Germany is only about EUR 300 (about USD 420) per month. But you don't need money for housing and food. The best possibility to get a job as an au pair is this: You are 18-25 years old. You have some child care experience. You have a basic knowledge of German (basic knowledge is enough). You are able to spend 6-12 months in Germany. Get some information and think about it.
