Thanks for the support!
very informative. appreciate it!
thanks for the info
Please make a separate video on how to apply on it , please 🤗🤗
Really nice video. I talked my dad into letting me study in Berlin this summer. It will probably be kind of scary since I’m only 16 but I hope it will be fun.
It was scary but fun for me too. Enjoy!
Thanks 🙏🏻
thank you
in short: YES!
How can I work part time if I want to join a studienkolleg and I am learning for aufnahmepruefung test...how does conditional letter works in the process?...
I would recommend everyone to look into Eurasia Institute. The teachers and everything else there are just... too good!
Hey, I hope you’re doing well, I’m currently binge watching all your videos, will you be doing any more videos? Or are you done with UA-cam?
thanks
You gave great advice. I was wondering if the German accent had a particular appeal to you?
I met a German traveler and his recommendation was to learn the German accent from Hamburg, for clear and distinction. Then I found out, it was Plattdeutsch, which is Low German. It is easier for English speakers to learn, but is not standard German learned in school or commercially available German programs in stores.
Honestly I think I like Hochdeutsch the most. Even for British accents I personally find that “BBC English” sounds the best.
But yeah before I got somewhat fluent in German I really loved how the language in general sounds. Now I don’t hear the language anymore because I understand too much of the content
@@MoreYinThanYang High German is considered the most standard form and has more commercially available programs. Would you have a recommendation which city has the most revered accent for High German?
I know you posted you don't really hear it anymore, but from what Germans say to you also.
@@MoreYinThanYang I researched it, and found the city of Hanover is considered the closest thing to standard German. It looks like if I go to Germany, that is the city I will be going to. At least the commercial programs I use will help more, than struggle with the accent.
Yes I was going to say Hanover but you answered yourself 😂
Please recommend some best language schools in frankfurt
I got response from iSL school
i am planning for further language levels from germany like B2 from goethe institut
personal suggetion, how about making video in german language? a part from that moving to german is easy for family and kids? cos Im thinking for children’s education.
Thanks for this fantastic video, are we allowed to work part time while studying language course in Germany for managing our day to day expenses ??
You can't work on a language course visa but if you have EU citizenship you are allowed to work
If we take conditional offer letter for masters degree with language course than is it possible ??
Yes you can work with a student visa from the university. Hope this helps
@@MoreYinThanYang hi on the language course visa can I extend it if I pass my German exam
I learned german in cologne in language course named Brelitz wich is the best and used books Berliner plazt. Expensive but great
Do you mean Berlitz? How’s the class? I’m planning to enroll my German course at Berlitz this summer.
How much time it takes to get the visa?
hello yin, thanks a lot for your video, please i would like to go germany for language studies... for 3 months minimum and intensive course at least 18 hours for me to be eligible for language visa, please which school can i go for please, planning to go on febuary
Insightful video thanks alot.
Please if I want to study in Germany for MBA will I study German 1st or go straight to MBA? Thanks
You can go straight to MBA if you have the required work experience and also a bachelors degree. Some universities might not even require work experience, but only a few though
@@MoreYinThanYang thank you
how much is it cost to live with a host family and how much is it cost for german language course?
How much do they cost?
Is it possible to work and study for language visa?
Thanks for the info..
I really want to study bachelor in software engineering but first i wanna learn german language so is it possible if i first go to Germany 🇩🇪 on a language course visa and than later apply in a university for my bachelor degree 🤔🤔
Hi!! Im considering learning German at Cologne, can you tell me the name of your teacher at your school? Thank you
Hello, my language school was called “Activ Lernen” but my teacher doesn’t teach German anymore. This means whether or not you get a good teacher will be based on luck. You might be able to change classes if you have problems with the teacher though.
Hi. How much do you need to be able to study german language in germany?
Hi, it depends on how long you're planning to stay, which city you live in and what kind of living situation you're in. There isn't really a standard answer
I am planning to study deustch language at Frankfurt would u mind telling me how much will I need for accommodation for 3 months like per month??
About EUR 800, for food, accommodation and others
Yeah I would say around 800 per month too if you’re living in shared housing. It also depends of course on what other things you like to do and how often you eat out rather than cook
I went to GLS Berlin. I would HIGHLY recommend it. The education quality there is great, the campus is great, the location is great, and the teachers are great. If anyone is looking to learn German and wants to experience Berlin, I would recommend it.
Hi,
I am considering GLS. What course did you take and is it possible to get to B1 in 8 weeks? Cheers
@@RBNDB I took the standard GLS course, not the intensive. I definitely think it’s possible to get B1 in 8 weeks.
@@tdlf156 thanks TDLF. There is so much info out there and so many different schools. But GLS and BWS are what I have narrowed it down to.
So at GLS you did the standard 20 courses a week? Would you say even at the standard B1 is achievable in 8 weeks?
Sorry for the questions, just hard to find good first hand info. Thanks :)
@@RBNDB Yup, and I think your level is very achievable. The schools program is very doable, and up to the B1 level, 8 weeks should be perfect. You’re also in a good part of Berlin, so you can get lots of practice.
I know this is kinda odd , but do you know if there is free school in Germany for learning german?
Not that I know of! Maybe if you’re at a university program they might have German courses without extra charges but I am not totally sure either 😕
hi! I'm 18 years old and I really want to learn german.
but since I will start my University in the end of this year (2021), and will have a 1 year gap to do nothing, I wonder if it's worth it doing it now or after I finish, because I really don't want to interrupt my University study's once I start. my fear is going to the country and not finding language students my age or being too young
Are you planning to go to Germany for exchange or something? Why don’t you start now? I learned German as a hobby during my bachelors! Maybe you could start your semester first and then decide if you can handle extra workload?
@@MoreYinThanYang yes!! for a language exchange. I think you are right, I will try to get to a decent level of german before going. I just really wanted to do it before I started my University, because if I want to stay away 1 month or more during it I will have to postpone the next semester of the University (that is six months) like a "locking" (that's what they call it here) and after that get back and be a semester late in comparison to the other students which I really didn't wanted to. but at the same time I fell like I won't be able to enjoy the exchange experience as much for been too young
How much it cost you, the wisdom tooth extraction?
I don’t exactly remember but it was definitely a lot more than what someone normally would pay because I had to get sedated due to some complications
How expensive language schools are like if we prepare from beginners to expert like starts from A1 to c1? I mean do you know fee structure?
It depends on the city and the intensity of the language course. The fee structure is usually stated on the language school’s website. You can always email the admin if unsure. 🙂

Fee of language school?
Hi, miss Super girl, you are a language talent. do you still live in Germany of did you already be back HK? I am so surprise that your DAF scores are all 5. I live in Holland, but near Germany. I am Chinese and busy to learn german. hope to make a contact with you. thanks.
I’m still in Germany. Why are you learning German when you’re in Holland?
What specific school will help you with your visa?
All the language schools should issue a document to confirm your placement so that you can go to the embassy to apply for a visa
The specific schools I went to were TANDEM Frankfurt, Deutschakademie and Activ Lernen
Hope this answers your question!
Is it possible to apply for a national visa to work after studying there?
Also can i enroll one one level(a2) for the student visa and then is it possible to extend my visa if i plan to enroll again for b1 and b2?
I am not sure - it’s better to confirm with the language school. Best of luck! 🍀
Okay thanks. But how about work? Can i work while studying?
Thank you for sharing and this awesome video.I have a few questions...
1. Why did you decide studying in Germany in the first place? Just outta curious...
2. Do you have to be "a student" to apply for a language school in Germany?
3. Is there any age restrictions? And how much is it for a language school for a month including the accommodation?
Sorry for asking too many questions...probably another video on the topic...if you have time and if you wanna share. Thank you soo much!!
Hey Katrina!
1. I did a winter exchange program in Germany a few years ago and I just got really attached to the country 😄
2. Everyone can apply!!
3. No there are no age restrictions. The accommodation cost varies depending on city and the type of accommodation you choose. The language course itself costs around 300 euro a month (it's a rough estimate but it could be more or less depending on the language school)
Thanks for the support and best of luck in Germany! 🙂
@@MoreYinThanYang Got it!! Thank you so much for sharing the experience. I really enjoy your videos, they are so informative and organized.
Please keep it up and looking forward to your next video! :)
Wish you all the best in Germany! ;)
Hlw how are you ....can you please tell me which school is best in Germany...cheap one.... I am from Pakistan......
Hi, you can check tuition fees on the DAAD website when you search for courses

What are your experiences with language schools in Germany? Did you have a good time? 😇
There is not any daad funding program for my cource which id medical microbiology undergraduate from india
And other scholorship need german b1 atleat
Help me out what to do for that?
Ich habe auch im aktiv lernen gelernt und jetzt habe ich zu andere schule gewechselt
I didn't liked it because the teacher was too slow, like you mentioned. For me it was a waste of time. I took the placement test and I still needed things to brush up ( Basic rammar ) but my teacher was like, keep coming to the class and you will do well. I ended up stop going and started learning at home, pandemic started and there was no more classes either. I am taking my B1 next month and I am pretty sure I will pass, since it's not that difficult in my opinion.
TestDaf is like IELTS, If someone is familiar with IELTS structure and passed the exam with an average score of 7, that's like passing score for TestDaf. I know my German is nowhere to the level of my English. I want to keep learning and eventually I hope to reach B2 or C1 even tho I don't need it.
@Rahul Soni Ist okay, ich lebe in Deutschland seit 5 jahren ^-^
amazing it was
Can I apply for a student job while doing the German language course?
It depends! You can ask the language school too, they’ll usually help 🙂
you have strong male like voice! I like it!
I like vedio
The way you said the word ‘language’ is so German 😂
I like you girl
How huch time does it take to learn perfect german?
It's different for everyone 🙂
Does the month cover an entire year of learning (i.e. one month of A2 there you will be at the level B1)?
Hi Farah, it depends on how often you take classes. Every language school offers different schedules and times in which you can take classes but usually if you take the most intensive course, it would be one month per level so after one month of A2 you'll reach B1. Hope this answers your question 🙂
@@MoreYinThanYang Great, thank you!
I'm about to study german at GLS Berlin, I will stay there for 3 months, currently I'm A2.
I hope you have a great time there! 😄
@@MoreYinThanYang I hope so too, my grammar is still fragil, I hope to improve in that aspect.
