Expert Answers
What is the most effective way for a beginner to learn German quickly instead of using apps like Duolingo?
→The most effective way to learn German quickly is combining a structured, rule-based course with spaced repetition flashcards, native audio or video input, and immediate speaking practice. Gamified apps often skip core grammar like cases and gender, so pairing structured lessons with active speaking practice builds real fluency far faster.
Is the Duolingo English Test accepted by universities in Germany for international student applications?
→Yes, over 50 German universities and programs accept the Duolingo English Test, including LMU Munich, TUM and TU Berlin for select master's courses. Expect score demands of 100-105 for bachelor's and 125-135 for master's. However, German embassies often still require IELTS or TOEFL for the visa.
