Let’s be honest here.

If you’ve ever tried learning German — or even just thought about it — chances are you’ve felt at least one of these things:

• “This language is impossible.”
• “I’m not good at grammar.”
• “I don’t have time right now, maybe later.”
• “Cases?? What even is that?”

​
If yes — you're not alone.

Thousands of Indians start learning German every year… and most of them quit.

Not because they’re lazy.

Not because they’re not smart.

But because no one ever told them the 🔴 truth about learning German.

Let’s change that today. ✅

The 3 Real Reasons Indians Quit Learning German

1. They try to learn like it’s an exam. 📘

We’ve been trained in school to study for marks, not for real understanding. So when people start learning German, they pull out a notebook and begin memorizing rules like:

• Nominative, accusative, dative…
• Der, die, das…
• Haben vs sein…

And guess what?

They still can’t say: “Can I get a coffee?” or “I live in Berlin.”

Why? Because they’re learning German as a subject, not as a language.

Biggest mindset shift:German is not a subject. It’s a tool. You don’t need to “score well” — you need to use it to live, talk, and understand.

2. They get overwhelmed too early. 😵

Imagine this:

You just started learning. You’re five minutes into a YouTube video. Suddenly the teacher says:

Your brain goes: ❌ “Nope, too much. I’ll do this later.”

And that’s when people stop.

The truth is — most resources online are made by native German teachers who don’t remember what it’s like to be a beginner or learn as a foreigner.

They dump everything at once. And you feel like you’re the problem.

You’re not.

You just need to go step by step.

✅ One small win at a time.

That’s how you build confidence — and fluency.

I know this because I am speaking from experience.

I was in the same shoes you are now. But after clearing my B2 Goethe exam and TestDaF 9 years ago and helping over 13,000+ students to get started with German - I know what I am talking about.

​

All this drama with the certificates and then afterwards finishing my M.Sc. program with German as medium of instruction.

This is why I know 100% where you are right now.

Because I have been through this road.

3. They believe the myth: “You need to be fluent before going to Germany.” 🌍

Here’s the 🔴 truth:

You don’t need to be fluent. You just need to survive.

Basic conversations. Daily phrases. Asking for help. Saying “Sorry, my German is not perfect” — and still being understood.

You can build this with just a few minutes a day.

Many Indians try to “learn everything” before coming to Germany — and burn out in the first month. But if you focus on real-life German — the way people actually talk — you’ll learn faster, and with less stress.

So, How Do You Avoid These Traps? 🚀

Here’s what I recommend — and what I wish I knew when I started:

1. Don’t try to be perfect. Just try to speak. 🗣️

Forget the grammar rules (for now). Start by learning phrases that real people use:

• “Ich heiße…”
• “Ich komme aus Indien.”
• “Wie viel kostet das?”

Speaking broken German is

100x better than memorizing perfect rules and never using them.

If you can't speak yet or do not feel comfortable - again, A1 is not the place to worry about speaking. The vocabulary size is just 500 words.

You worry about speaking when you are reaching B1 because that's when you have a sizeable vocabulary to start putting more complex sentences together (around 2000 words).

2. Make German part of your daily life. ⏳

You don’t need two hours a day. Even 15 minutes can work — if it’s the right kind of learning.

• Listen to a podcast while cooking.
• Read a short comic in German.
• Learn one phrase before bed.

You’ll be shocked how quickly things stick when you make it fun.

3. Use a course that speaks your language. 🎯

Most German courses are made for people in Germany, not Indians. So they move too fast

. They don’t explain why something matters. They skip the confusions only we face.

That’s why we created the 🇩🇪 Faster German courses — built especially for busy enthusiasts who want to learn German from home without wasting time in long classes or commutes.

It starts from zero. No pressure. No confusing explanations. Just clear, practical German that helps you 🔴 start speaking from Day 1.

If you've ever felt like:

Then this course is made for you. We don’t just teach. We guide you — through your fear, your doubts, and your first real German conversation.

Here's my Final Thought:

You’re Not Too Late. You’re Just One Decision Away. 💡

The only difference between people who speak German and those who gave up… is that one of them took it step-by-step, with the right support.

You don’t need to be a “language person.” You don’t need to speak perfect sentences.

You just need to 🔴 start.​

And when you do, you’ll wonder why you didn’t begin sooner.
