The Keys to Successful Language Learning

1. You are having fun.
Research shows that when something is fun--you're playing, interacting, laughing--you're more likely to remember it because your brain is engaged. This is why we based our entire language-learning program around game-playing. Plus, when you know something is fun, it will keep you coming back again and again.

2. You are not overwhelmed.
We know the thought of learning a new language is overwhelming. This is why every one of our games can be completed in 10 minutes or less. Imagine your language-learning goal is a sandwich. You wouldn't cram it all in your mouth at once, would you? No. Sure, you'll finish it all, but one bite at a time.

3. You can fit it into your life.
We know you have a million things to do, and we recognize language learning is probably not the first thing on your to-do list (no matter how much we wish it was). This is why we give you a ton of different ways to learn, from computer games and audio lessons for your iPod to written activities in the workbook and interactive fun on your TV!

WHY LEARN GERMAN?

  • Germany has more than 369 million visitors a year.
  • Knowing basic German words and phrases before traveling to Germany or another German-speaking country will help you feel more at ease during your trip.
  • German is the most widely spoken first language in the European Union.
  • There are nearly 50 million people with German ancestry in the United States.

VISITING GERMANY
More than 369 million people visited Germany in 2010. It’s no wonder. Germany has an appealing mix of modern city and rugged countryside. Whether it’s Oktoberfest or a football game in Munich, or hiking or skiing in the German Alps, the variety of things to do in Germany makes the country an attractive destination for vacationers. One of the most-visited landmarks in Germany is the Cologne Cathedral. Its intricate Gothic architecture is part of what attracts more than six million visitors per year. Munich, home of Oktoberfest, draws more than five million annually. The festival, which runs from late September to the first weekend in October, is an important part of Bavarian culture and a fantastic way for visitors to get a real taste of what German culture is all about.

If you really want to taste Germany, try one or more of the over 1,500 different types of sausage in the country. Pair your main dish with a German beer and top the meal off with a Bavarian pastry before heading to a local football match. Germany’s football league boasts the second highest average attendance of any professional sports league in the world! You will not want to visit Germany without attending a match. There, you will get a true German experience, sitting among native Germans, talking to them and rooting for the players

GERMAN-SPEAKING COUNTRIES
German is one of the world’s major languages with about 100 million native speakers, most of them in Germany. But it is also the most widely spoken language in all of the European Union. If you travel in Europe, you will come across German-speakers, road signs, menus and more in other countries, including Austria and Belgium, as well as in parts of Italy and Switzerland.

Here are some basic German phrases that you will use often:

  • Was kostet das? (How much does it cost?)
  • Wo ist das Badezimmer? (Where is the bathroom?)
  • Bis später! (See you later!)
