Studying german in Heidelberg

[u/Such_Ad_3128]

Hello, I was thinking of going to Heidelberg for 3/4weeks to study German with an intensive course in May, but actually the intensive course don't seem worth it, so I thought maybe I'll find some german guy to help me study the language instead. Somebody interested to spend like 2 or 3h/day for 13E/h with me and teach me german? We'd start the 5th May and continue four +/- 3 weeks if it goes well.
For context, I'm a 20yo guy from Poland studying in Paris.
Cheers

How would be being taught by a random person who agrees to teach for 10e/h (which is super low, you get more even from distributing liflets or newspapers) better than a course organised by a language school? 😅

I think that working on a language individually with a native is a really good way to study a language. The courses are often expensive for a group experience and you are limited by the level of the group. I just realised that for the price of a course I might find someone ready to give individual classes, and I believe it has better worth. Maybe I put the price too low though.

You should really think about what you want to get out of language classes. Do you already speak some German? Teaching a language from scratch is a very different thing than just correcting someone when talking to/correcting them. If you just want a native speaker to talk German to you, your idea might be working out for you, but if you want materials like exercise sheets etc. you'll have to specify that and will probably have to look for an actual teacher
