Learn English vocabulary
German speakers already own much of English's Germanic core vocabulary. The fastest gains are in idioms, phrasal verbs, and the tenses German uses differently.
What to focus on as a German speaker
- German speakers already know much of the core Germanic vocabulary — focus on irregular verbs and idioms.
