Living in Hamburg can be an advantage for your career, as giants such as Airbus, Nivea, and Montblanc are based here. In addition, Hamburg offers an excellent work-life balance because of the city’s attachment to nature. You can hike or bike along one of the many rivers that flow through the city (e.g., Wandse, Elbe, Bille), pick fruit at one of the farms just outside the city, or jog after work in one of the city’s beautiful parks, such as the Stadtpark and Volkspark- there will always be an excuse to get in touch with nature.

For some classes, downloadable exercises are also available. All support materials are created by our Lingoda teachers and designed to meet CEFR standards.

The trick to learning German is to treat each new skill as a building block. It builds on the knowledge you already have and provides a platform that makes the next skill easier to grasp. Many German words themselves are a bit like building bricks. They’re put together from smaller words and units. Once you’ve grasped this concept, your vocabulary acquisition speeds up. As with any skill, practice is the key. The more you practice, the more speaking in German and listening to it become second nature. Add variety by using flashcards to learn vocabulary or by creating funny poems and songs with your new words. It’s also a good idea to watch local TV, listen to German radio and podcasts, and most fun of all, seek out new friends to chat with in your new language.
