"We have taken the services of Shekhar for my son in 3rd quarter of the year for his board exam for German Language. After trying many tutors and plenty of Demo classes we have zeroed in on Shekhar, mainly because of his expertise in German. We were not having a lot of time before board exams and Sekar comes as savior, he took the charge and build brick by brick. My son started performing better and better in pre-boards and in final exam he got more than 90% in German language. Thanks Sekhar for all your support and perseverance. "

"Great experience of learning German language! He made the subject so interesting and simple. I happened to learn from few more in the past. But he is the best. I highly recommend him coz he will not only help you to clear the exams in one go, but also gives you strong base to become confident in German language in real time. "

"I strongly recommend Mr. Shekhar if one plans to learn German or is already learning. His teaching style, grasp over the language and whats most important is the correct pronunciation are evidence enough that you will be at great hands. I am currently pursuing learning German with him after 2 years (had begun in switzerland) and have had no complaints! "

"As a student of class 10, it is very important for me to score good marks in every subject and in German Shekhar Sir helped me a lot. He taught me tricks to ace grammar and writing which my German teacher in school did not tell me at all. He emphasized on the need for learning rather than memorizing in all but a few topics such as Partizip Perfekt which couldn't be helped. The entire of us students is too vast with big subjects like Social Science and Science requiring a lot of memorizing. Therefore when we learn ways to perform well in our exams in other subjects, It is a huge help not only for that subject but others too. Sir usually gave me some homework to do after every class relating to what he had taught. The classes were not boring as Shekhar Sir managed to make it interesting. However, he usually came at irregular times and was also late here and there for the classes. But other that minor problem, the classes were interesting and knowledgeable. "

Best way is to integrate 'the App' into your overall learning strategy. What I mean is, let the App complement the learning while you simultaneously use other resources available to you, such as the internet, course books, movies, classroom learning and a home tutor. Apps can be useful so long as you know that their role is more by way of supporting rather than the driver.
When we speak of Apps, important to know that there are many types: for learning new words/ phrases, you could use Busuu / Duolingo. For quick look-up of meanings, you can use the Leo app. There are also apps for learning verb conjugations and so on.
So go ahead, practise away using all the Apps you can lay your hands on until you feel you'd like to get deeper into the language and unearth mysteries like, for example, why certain sentences in German are written so differently than in English, what are 'der/ die/ das' and why is it not 'das Frau' or 'die Mann'. In short: the grammar.

A very pertinent question - more than ever in today's political climate, when regime changes may overturn language trends, and a foreign language may become more or less appealing based on the current economic power of the country where it is spoken.
Time and money are important, so any student must choose very wisely.
I'd say pick GERMAN and do not look back. Why? Although in terms of sheer numbers Spanish is world's 2nd most spoken language and French is the third-most widely spoken language by *number of countries* where it is spoken, really it is German that's leading the pack.
There are many reasons for this. Germany is economically the most stable nation in Europe, it currently has a lack of sufficient workforce in the areas of IT, Engineering and Medicine, and therefore a lot of Indians are looking to emigrate there.
Germany also happens to be an official language in 6 European nations: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Belgium and Liechstenstein.
An added advantage is that German is more phonetic than French; its pronunciation not too different from Hindi's: you basically have a set of rules as to how to pronounce a consonant/ vowel or a bunch of consonants / vowels appearing together.
You follow them and you're good.

There could be a thousand ways of saying ''How are you?'' in Spanish, depending on which Spanish-speaking country you're from or in which you are a tourist.
If you were holidaying in Argentina, for example, you'd ask: '¿Cómo andas?' (= How are you?)
In Spain, you'd ask: '¿Qué tal?' or the more formal, '¿Cómo estás?', whereas in Cuba, the most common way to ask how someone is doing is ¿Qué bola?.
