The most basic level of German just like many other European languages is the A1........ There are several language schools that offers German language trainings in Nigeria mostly in Lagos, Abuja, Enugu, Port Harcourt etc but its always possible to learn online if one has the will power........

There are different exam levels and certification in German Bru the most prominent ranges from A1 TO C2......... For those interested in studying in German universities, minimum of C1 is usually the minimum requirement except where the language of instruction is in English and that's mostly for the masters programme and some first degree programs

Re: German Language Learning by DeutschNaija(op): 5:52pm On Apr 09

The German one is a bit different in terms of how to learn it and the way the language is structured but it's doable...... I did it without attending a German school in quote but learnt everything I know today online..........

[quote author=bukitt post=139048297]D There are different methods that you can use. But speaking from my own experience, I started learning on an application called Duolingo... The website was very helpful because it had sound pronunciations alongside the words

Podcasts are a super fun filled approach to learn basic words and complex words in German. It helps to train pronunciations through the shadowing otherwise called imitation method. I used this to a large extent and I can confirm it's usefulness and assistance in improving my German............... I will drop some few good platforms from time to time on this platform......
