It also suits those whose German was learned from grandparents, but who have not practiced what they learned. Both groups will complement one another. Learners who can understand and use some vocabulary will inspire novice learners. The learners coming from a German background will have confidence to use their knowledge. The mix results in a plus for both groups.
