January: Embracing “Aller Anfang ist schwer” with a Little Help from the Hive!

The new year is here! Happy 2025!

Fresh starts, new goals, and the perfect opportunity to start learning German - or is it??

Let’s be honest: starting something new can feel daunting (especially after the break of routine over Christmas)!

In German, there’s a saying for this exact feeling: “Aller Anfang ist schwer.” Every beginning is hard. Whether it’s committing to a fitness routine, tackling a new hobby, or learning a language, the hardest step is often the first one.

I've got good news: starting doesn’t have to be that hard. And we’re here to make it easier for you. Yeay!

Why the First Step Feels So Big

Starting a new project can feel overwhelming because you’re stepping into the unknown. You might ask yourself:

Where do I begin?
What if I make mistakes?
Will I really stick with this?

These are normal worries, but they’re also the first hurdles to get over. Once you’ve taken that initial step, momentum builds, and suddenly, the process feels more manageable.

Small Steps, Big Progress

The key to tackling “Aller Anfang ist schwer” is to break it into manageable pieces. Learning German isn’t about mastering everything at once. It’s about taking small, steady steps.

Think of it like building a snowman: you start with a handful of snow, roll it into a ball, and keep adding little by little. Before you know it, you’ve built something amazing.

The same is true for German. With consistent effort, small victories add up, and before long, you’ll look back and realise how far you’ve come.
