How to speak German fluently?
German can be a tricky language to master - especially when you progress beyond the basics. It's important to get to grips with the grammar structure and pronunciations if you want to become fluent. Having regular conversations with a native speaker is a great way to both hear and become familiar with the language and to get to practice your own speaking skills. Preply allows you to find private tutors for online conversational classes and you can arrange lessons as often as you like so you can accelerate your progress.

You can get all the benefits of private tutoring from the comfort of your own home with the help of Preply's experienced tutors. You can search a wide range of profiles to find a conversational tutor that suits your goals and budget and arrange lessons on Skype to start as soon as you like.

How to improve my German accent?
Perfecting a German accent can be difficult for English speakers. The V and W mix-up is a classic example of switching up sounds. One of the best ways to improve your German accent is to take conversational classes that give you the chance to speak often and get instant feedback from a native speaker. It also gives you the chance to listen to their speech and imitate the correct pronunciations as well as asking questions when you encounter words or phrases you're not sure about.
How to get more confident at speaking German?
To get more confident at speaking German, you need to make sure you practice as often as possible. The more you speak, the more natural it will start to feel. Having 1-2-1 conversational classes with an online German tutor is a great way to boost your progress and gives you the chance to work on any areas you might be insecure or unsure about. Making mistakes is a natural part of any learning process but having a tutor on-hand to help you correct any errors and expand your knowledge can get you past any stumbling blocks.
