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.
