According to the Canadian Encyclopedia, between 1750 and 1753, 2,400 Protestant Germans landed with their families in Halifax, founding what would become known as the oldest unified German settlement in Canada. These historical beginnings continued throughout Halifax’s development and the impact the Germans have had on the city’s economy, politics and culture is present for all to see. For example, you can find traces of German history and culture in places like The Little Dutch Church, the Museum of Integration on Pier 21 and the nearby port town of Lunenburg. According to the German Canadian Association, as of 2016, there are almost 2,000 people of German, Austrian and Swiss descent living in the city. So, if you would like to connect with this community on a more meaningful level and to make the most out of the cultural opportunities in Halifax, start learning German with us at Language Trainers.

Why Study German in Halifax

Learn German for Work and Travel: German is the most spoken language in the European Union, which bodes well for the bilateral relations between Canada and Germany, and possibly your career, too! In 2017, the Canadian Trade Commissioner posted that Germany is Canada’s second-largest destination in the European Union for merchandise exports and its fourth-largest source for imports. This explains the number of companies that require bilingual speakers in Halifax, such as Windigo, Maritime Travel and Ubisoft. And if you are not actively job-seeking but would like to travel instead, Halifax Stanfield International Airport has direct flights to Frankfurt during the summer season. In just 12 hours, you could be in Berlin or Vienna, ordering food and speaking to the locals with the skills you acquire with us at Language Trainers!

Learn German for Culture: You will also be able to experience German culture without leaving Halifax. If you are into festivals, you will be glad to know that Halifax hosts annual German events, such as Karneval and Lanternfest. Christkindlmarket is also very popular in Halifax. There, apart from purchasing traditional German products, visitors can find craft activities, a marionette “Nativity Story” and several local school choirs and concerts to enjoy. And don’t miss Oktoberfest! Launched in 2009, the Halifax Oktoberfest attracts hundreds of locals and visitors alike to enjoy authentic Bavarian cuisine, beverages and music! And in honor of Nova Scotia’s German heritage, you can attend the German Settlers Day in early June. This event is free to the public and commemorates German history, music and traditional food.

Learn German for Social: Taking German lessons in Halifax is a gateway to an expanded social life. You can contact the German Canadian Association of Nova Scotia, for example, an institution that tries to cultivate the customs, languages, and social activities of Germany, Switzerland and Austria. This establishment hosts a monthly social meeting called the Stammtisch where German speakers come together at local restaurants and socialize in both English and German. After the meeting, why not go to a traditional German restaurant, such as Schnitzel Bistro on King Street? There, you will be able to order sauerbraten, bratwurst and delicious strudel using the impeccable German pronunciation you learn with us at Language Trainers! And for extra language practise with friends, check out German Movie Nights, an event which is frequently hosted in the Halifax Central Library on Spring Garden Road. Put your listening skills into use and watch these fantastic films in their original language!
