Secondly, you need to understand the methods for learning German.

In order to improve the efficiency of learning German, there are many methods. Today it is becoming more and more difficult to understand them, because each teacher can develop his own method and prove its usefulness in practice.

The method of silence assumes that knowledge of the German language is originally inherent in a person. If you do not interfere with the student, he will quickly master the language. The teacher only guides the student on the path to knowledge using a complex system of color signals.

The physical reaction method when learning German involves learning the language in action. It is based on the premise that you cannot assimilate what you have not passed through yourself. At first, the student does not say anything, but only listens to German speech and reads. Then there is a need to react to what you hear. After accumulating a large amount of information about the German language, the student enters into communication. The advantage of the method is that from the very beginning a complex is not created about a lack of understanding or fear of making a mistake. This method can also be called the most comfortable.

When using the immersion method, the student transforms into another person and comes up with a new legend of his life. This not only helps to master the German language, but also develops creativity, thanks to which it is much easier to master the language.

In order to make it easier to master spoken language, an audio-linguistic method has been developed. Proponents of this method are confident that repeated repetition after a teacher or an audio recording will allow you to master the German language.

The essence of the communicative method is that basic language skills are developed simultaneously (speaking and writing, grammar, reading and listening) in the process of live communication. The main task is to teach a person the skills of communication in a foreign language. Rapid and lasting assimilation of the studied material occurs due to the fact that vocabulary, expressions of a foreign language, grammatical structures are presented to the student in the context of a real, emotionally colored situation.

Thirdly, it is imperative to deal with certain difficulties in learning German.

Each person, due to his abilities, necessarily faces certain problems when learning a foreign language, in this case German. All people compare languages, native and studied, and find a myriad of differences, and this makes them get confused in new languages. Different temporal forms, word order in a sentence, stress in words, declension, conjugation, etc.
