Find the best German tutor in Charleston

German builds on a handful of key question words known as the 5 W's.

• Wer and was ask about people and things, as in "Wer bist du?" (Who are you?) and "Was machst du?" (What are you doing?).
• Wo and wann cover place and time, like "Wo wohnst du?" (Where do you live?) and "Wann kommst du?" (When are you coming?).
• Warum is used to ask for explanations and often triggers a "weil" (because) clause in the answer.
• Wie asks about manner or condition and appears in some of the most common German phrases.

A private German tutor helps you practice these question words in real conversations right away.
