Your way to learn German quickly and effectively
Would you like to learn German? A very good way to learn the language quickly and well is to attend a German course where the lessons are taught entirely in German. In this article, we explain why such a course is particularly effective and how you can benefit from it.
1. Learning through immersion
In a German course with German as the language of instruction, you are in the language right from the start. This means that the trainer and your fellow learners only speak German. You repeatedly hear new words and phrases only in German, immersing you directly in the language. This helps you to learn faster because you hear the words and expressions again and again and use them yourself. This will quickly improve your listening and speaking skills.
If you listen and speak a lot in the target language, the language will stay in your head and you will remember new words and sentences more easily.

2. Improvement of all language skills
In a DIALOG course you will practise all the important language skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. When you read, listen and write in German, you will understand the language better and be able to use it more quickly in your everyday life. At the same time, you practise speaking with your fellow learners and the trainer.
The great thing about a course that takes place entirely in German is that you quickly understand how the language works. You not only learn vocabulary, but also how to form correct sentences so that you can express yourself well everywhere.
Tip: Take every opportunity to speak German. You can also listen to German-language films or podcasts to improve your language skills. Take our placement test now to find the right course for you!

3. Faster and more effective learning
In a German course with lessons in German, you will learn much faster and more effectively than in a course in which many explanations take place in your first/second language. Why? Because you learn directly in the target language and your brain processes the new language faster. You are forced to look for solutions in German, which speeds up your learning process.
Constantly using the target language makes the learning process more natural and helps you to memorise the grammar and vocabulary better. You don’t just understand the language from a book, you actively experience it.
Tip: Try to speak as much German as possible outside of the course. This will help you to improve your language skills. Or enrol on an intensive course now and see how quickly you progress!
4. More self confidence and motivation
The more German you speak, the more confident you become. This self-confidence motivates you to continue learning and to master even difficult situations in German. If you know that you can communicate well in the course, speaking outside of it will also become easier and more fun.
An important point is that you not only learn grammar and vocabulary in a GFL course, but also develop the right feeling for the language. This will increase your confidence in using the language and motivate you to continue learning.
Tip: Use your new-found confidence! Your self-confidence will help you to master the language better and better. Take the next step and sign up for an advanced course at Dialog Wien today!
5. Why English is a hindrance
English is often used as an auxiliary language in German lessons, e.g. to explain difficult words. This may sound like a relief at first, but it can actually hinder your learning. Why?
- Delayed thinking: When you think in English, it takes longer to answer in German. You are forced to search for the meaning of a word in English before you can answer in German. This slows down your learning.
- Less “immersion”: If English is included in the lessons, you won’t get as much German as you actually need. You don’t hear enough German and don’t get used to it as quickly.
- Less practice: To become good at a language, you need to think directly in that language. If you use English as a stopover, you will find it harder to become fluent in German.
Tip: Try to think in German as much as possible and not fall back on your first/second language or English. This will make your learning much faster.
