What does it really cost to learn German?

Spoiler: It’s more than just money.

In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of my own language journey — from fumbling through German classes as a total beginner to becoming a certified C2 speaker, integration teacher, and language assessor.

I share the real price I paid — in euros, yes — but also in time, energy, mistakes, and mindset shifts. Back then, one module cost €280… and I had to take six of them to reach B1. That’s nearly €1,500. Today? Prices have nearly doubled.

But here’s the twist: the biggest investment wasn’t financial. It was the emotional investment — pushing through frustration, homesickness, and the fear of looking or sounding “dumb.” It was about showing up for myself. Again and again.

You'll also hear about:

• Why I failed at learning Japanese and French before German finally “clicked”
• The turning point that changed everything for me
• How to reframe language costs as self-investment
• A surprising tax tip that could save you money on German courses if you're learning for work!

If you’ve ever wondered whether the cost is worth it — this episode is your reminder that fluency is priceless… and absolutely possible.

Have you ever thought to yourself,

“I understand German, but when it’s my turn to speak… I freeze?”

In this episode, I’m sharing why that happens — and how to finally break through the silence. As someone who went from Level Zero to C2, I know the struggle first-hand.

I’ll walk you through:

• Why understanding is passive — but speaking is active
• Why waiting until you’re “ready” is a trap
• And 3 mindset shifts that can unlock your voice:
  ✨ Believe in yourself
  ✨ Surround yourself with German
  ✨ Set tiny daily speaking goals

If you're tired of staying quiet, this episode will help you move from knowing German to actually speaking it — confidently, naturally, and in your own voice.

Fifteen years. 🇩🇪

That’s how long I’ve been living in Germany — and wow, what a journey it’s been. 😊 From arriving with zero German and a heart full of hope, to now being a fluent speaker, Integration Teacher, and Language Assessor, this episode is my love letter to the growth, struggles, and surprises of the past decade and a half.

In this episode, I’m sharing 15 real, raw, and game-changing lessons that I’ve learned while building a life here in Germany — both as a language learner and as a woman finding her place in a new world.

• What helped me finally start speaking
• Why friendships don’t start with grammar — they start with courage
• What makes German speakers open up
• Why perfection is the enemy of progress
• And how every single word you speak is a key to transformation

This isn’t just a list — it’s a look inside the emotional rollercoaster of expat life, and what it really takes to go from “silent and scared” to “fluent and fearless.”

Whether you’re just starting your German journey, or you’ve been here for a while but still feel stuck in silence — this one’s for you.

👉 And if you’re ready to take action, I’ll also tell you about my brand new 15-Day Speaking Challenge 🎉 — designed to get you finally using your German out loud, every day, in a way that feels simple, practical, and even a little fun.
