It is a sad reality in Germany:
A qualified engineer is sitting behind the wheel of a taxi. An experienced nurse is working as a cleaner. On paper, they are professionals. But in real life, they hit a wall: The Language Barrier.
Maybe you think: "I speak good English, that should be enough."
In a hip start-up in Berlin? Maybe. But in the real German job market (skilled trades, nursing, industry, SMEs), English won't get you far.
Here is the truth: Learning German is the best financial investment you can make.
The Problem: The "Glass Ceiling"
Without German skills, you often get stuck in jobs where speaking isn't required. These jobs are usually:
- Physically demanding
- Low-paid
- Without opportunities for promotion
Your boss doesn't see your talent. He only sees someone who doesn't understand instructions.
The Game Changer: A1 and A2
You don't need to be able to quote Goethe immediately. But even basic German (A1/A2) changes everything:
- Safety: You understand workplace safety rules (very important in Germany!).
- Colleagues: You are part of the team during lunch breaks and not the outsider.
- Customers: You can answer simple questions. This makes you much more valuable to the company.
Studies show: With German skills, you often earn 20% to 30% more – in the exact same job!
"But I work full-time – when should I study?"
This is the #1 reason why people procrastinate. If you work 40 hours a week, you can't sit in a language school every day at 10:00 AM.
That is exactly why V-IZ was built.
We are the solution for working professionals ("Work & Learn"):
- Learn on the train: Use your commute to watch 10 minutes of video.
- Learn on the weekend: If you are tired during the week, do a bit more on Saturday.
- No missed classes: If you have to work overtime, you don't miss anything with us. The video waits for you.
Show What You Are Really Capable Of
Don't let your degree or work experience gather dust just because you are missing a few vocabulary words. The German economy is desperate for skilled workers – they are looking for YOU. But you have to bring the language skills.
Invest in yourself. The next better job is already waiting.
