What to do if you feel like you'll never be able to speak German properly?
A mindset shift + a go-to strategy
2024-09-20 20 min
In this episode, I make one thing clear: your mindset and confidence are everything when it comes to learning German. You’ve got to accept where you are right now, be patient with yourself, and focus on actually speaking—especially in real-world situations. The goal is simple: get talking to improve your skills. I break it down into a four-step game plan: understand, activate, decode, and apply. Here’s the bottom line: fluency is more important than perfection. Perfection comes after you’re already speaking confidently. And mistakes? They're non-negotiable. You need them to get fluent. I suggest you learn like a kid—but with the added power of your adult brain. And if you want a serious boost, I’ve created a 10-week program called "inGerman Decoded" to help you start expressing yourself fluently in German.
