Benefits of Learning German language Online
Having learnt and taught German in an Instructor led Class, learning German Language online is unimaginable. The Internet has always been an indispensable part of all our lives for more than 15 years now, yet wasn’t the ring master to our circus, called life. The use was somehow limited to age, area, activity and availability. Not anymore!!
Willingly or unwillingly everyone muddled through and flourished the change life had to toss on us.
However, Anything that one is forced to do feels like a compromise. So did the online German class in the beginning. Unaware of how to get started and what to do, we just jumped into it like everyone else. Gradually we understood the tools, the needs and the ways to conduct an online class. It took a while to take all the impressions, learning and technology on board and even a little while to actually savor it.
Here are some benefits of learning German Language online, which clearly are limitations in an Instructor led class.
1. Connecting people from different places:
The people in the class are bound to no boundaries. Students from all over the world can participate in an online class. All you need is a device and a good Internet connection. It’s the best way to interact as we have people from various states, cities and countries. The class hence becomes a platform for the students to discuss intercultural differences, traditions and life.
For example, our trainers are located here in India but the classes have students from Germany, Switzerland, Dubai and many parts of India.
2. Save the time and money of travelling:
The pain of travelling and the money spent for the same, was a tedious activity. No matter how far or near you stay. The place of the class was one and fixed. Ever since the training shifted online, the students and trainer don’t have to worry about their location. You live in the city central, in the suburbs, in a remote place or even another country altogether. No problem, online German training courses have got your back.
3. At the comfort of your house:
Not stepping out of your cozy bed to attend a class. What a dream!!!! You can snuggle in your bed, in your favorite pajamas and with your favorite beverage!! It’s sort of a win-win situation for both you and your pet since you don’t have to leave your house. Besides, it’s a relief for people with small kids, some family priorities or even work. They don’t have to push this further till they can manage two things at a time.
4. Maximum utilization of technology around learning:
An instructor-led class used to be digital in its own ways but had many limitations. In an online class there’s absolutely no constraint regarding the use of any technology while learning. One can watch videos, listen to various podcasts and songs, can play interactive games, solve worksheets online and use the material available online with the help of the instructor. In this way, you make full use of the things available online, to learn German better.

5. It facilitates a personal connection:
Learning languages is different from learning any other subject. It demands interest, curiosity, patience and a personal touch. Why would the students be interested only in the books??? They want to connect the topic to themselves and also expect the same from the trainer. With the help of an online class, both the trainer and the students can share a piece of their life with the whole class. Like showing all what your bookshelf looks like, how the weather is or which corner of the house is your favorite. We do it all the time!
6. Improving technical skills:
Learning is a never ending process, in order to learn one thing, one must know how the other thing functions. Online class is a chance for all those people to brush up their knowledge of basic MS office tools that help you learn in an online class, such as MS word, MS PPT, MS excel and so much more. I was never a fan of computers and its wonders but online learning and teaching has definitely made me learn them and use them fairly.
7. Choosing whom you want to learn from:
As there’s no constraint with regards to time, place and travel, you can actually choose whom you want to learn the language from.
For example, Indians living in Germany want to learn the language from Indian trainers as it’s a little easy to understand something new and go from known to the unknown. A tinch of familiarity feels warmer in a cold language journey. It works like an acquaintance in a completely foreign place.
I can now without any second thoughts and hesitation vouch for an online German class. Online classes are not effective, the students are always distracted and there’s no personal attention. These are just myths, don’t let that influence you. These are some benefits of learning German Language online. We hope these help you make your decision. However, one should always strive to learn, the mode is not of great importance. Online or offline both methods are good, if you decide to take up this journey.
