A language barrier is the difficulty of expressing one's own thoughts or the difficulty of understanding a foreign language due to fear or shame. When learning a foreign language, especially German, students often have such a problem as the inability to speak and express themselves clearly in the language they are learning. Students can study grammar, vocabulary, translate texts, write letters, watch films, listen to music and understand the content for a long time, but they are unable to formulate an idea and convey it verbally. Therefore, it is the main task of the teacher to examine the reasons and identify ways of overcoming the language barrier in students. It is well known that the most effective way to remove the language barrier is the communicative approach in learning German, which allows taking into account the personal features of students; giving maximum practice of all language skills and speech skills; setting situations close to reality; influencing the emotional world of students; provoking and encouraging them to communicate.
