German as a foreign language

Anyone moving to Munich quickly discovers that German language skills make everyday life much easier. Whether dealing with public authorities, searching for accommodation, advancing a career or simply talking to neighbours, the language is often the key to successful integration. There are essentially two ways to learn German: through everyday interaction and immersion, or through structured language courses. In most cases, the most effective approach is a combination of both.

Little Bavarian language school: Understanding instead of guessing

With more than 12 million speakers, Bavarian is the largest cohesive dialect region in German-speaking countries. Among the many Bavarian local dialects, Middle Bavarian is the main one. It’s known far beyond the “Weiß­wurst equator” and is also spoken by authentic Munich citizens.

An important characteristic of this dialect is that hard consonants such as p, t and k (Pech, Tag, Knecht) are weakened to b, d and g (Bèch, Dåg, Gnecht). Furthermore, Bavarian has 24 diphthongs, which must be a record: the standard German language has only “ei,” “eu” and “au.” For example, a Bavarian speaker says “i woas” instead of “ich weiß” (I know), “liab” instead of “lieb” (lovely) and “Bruada” instead of “Bru­der” (brother).
