learn GERMAN in 6-12 months?

I was wondering if i could learn German in 6-12 months. I am looking for German to use for university. I am doing dentistry very soon in German U niversity but do not speak German at all. The language of instruction will be GERMAN !

So, is it possible for me to learn German in such a less time ?

6 months no…12 months yes. Please make sure that your language school offers you an exam called test DAF (Deutsch als Fremdsprache or DSH. These will help you evaluate how well your German is. If you do pass one of the exams then you’ll be ok when it comes to studying in German. Another thing is that Dentistry is not a social science .It wont be that hard because most of the scientific terms are in English or Latin. Just be positive and learn as much German as you can before starting school. You’ll be fine 🙂

hi, if you seriously want to learn the language, then you can do it. but think of one tiny little thing: the german you are going to learn will not exactly be the one you’ll hear at uni. first there’s the very specific “dentistry language” and then you have to know that standard german is very often mixed with a more dialectal german which can be more or less difficult to understand. which is the university you are preparing to go to ? try the assimil method to teach yourself german and watch TV as often as possible. viel glück dir!

I’d say get something like Rosetta Stone to start out. If you can go live there before going to school, your vocabularly and fluency will improve out of simple necessity.
