As the Year Ends, Make This the Time You Finally Learn German
The end of the year is approaching fast, but there’s still time to make a change.
Imagine this: the holidays are here, and you want to celebrate, but you’re in Germany, far from home. Maybe you’ve been invited to a New Year’s gathering by your colleagues. You’d love to join, to feel connected, but there’s one thing holding you back, you don’t speak German.
In Germany, gatherings with friends and colleagues often mean relaxing and speaking their native language. This is when people want to let loose, have fun, and speak from the heart. And if you can’t join in, you might miss out on these moments of connection. Without the language, you can feel like an outsider, even when surrounded by others.
I know this feeling all too well. In 2017, I was living in Austria, and I spent New Year’s Eve alone. I wanted so much to connect, to find friends, and to belong. But I was in a place where no one spoke English, or they simply didn’t feel comfortable speaking it with me. I remember how isolating it felt, and I know what it’s like to miss out on the joy of celebrating with others because of a language barrier.
That’s why I’m sharing this now. You still have time to start learning German. You still have time to make a change, not just for yourself, but for your future in Germany. Imagine entering the New Year with the confidence to say “yes” to invitations, to make new friends, and to feel like you belong.
Learning German is more than just adding a skill. It’s about transforming your life and creating a future where you can connect, share your knowledge, and let others see who you truly are. You can be an incredible expert in your field, but if you can’t communicate, if you can’t share what you know, no one will ever see your full potential.
So, make this year different. Make yourself and your family proud by starting your German journey today.
