Of course, if you look around, you'll see many examples where people who are deaf since birth are fluent in multiple languages. So, yes, a deaf person can learn French, German, Chinese, Hindi. Spanish or any other foreign language. Moreover, you already mentioned that the person understands English, so it will be an added advantage for him/her as he/she already knows how to learn a new language. As the world evolved, we have already discovered several appropriate ways to differently-abled people to learn new things. Moreover, we all know when one of the senses of a person fails to work, it results in the sharpening the rest. So, deaf people can learn as many languages as they want. Their capabilities and intelligence range are as same as the rest of the people. Deafness is absolutely not a barrier to learning any new language. However, this disability may affect the speed of the learning process and to speak the language with the correct intonation since he/she can't hear. Obviously, there are challenges as learning a new language from scratch itself is challenging even for people who are not blind. But, that doesn't mean deaf people are unable to learn or write a new language. Being deaf doesn't make them lose their ability to speak either. Hope this answer help! read less

I am looking out for language teacher (German). However, I am confused about how much should I expect to spend on tuitions. Also, how much training time is sufficient for a teacher to teach me Level A1. (For ex. Rs. 6000/3 months.etc) I understand, I need to practice as well in order to pass the course. But would appreciate a general info. From those who have done this in past.
I would never suggest you to join a tutor who is ready to teach u A1 or B1 in 6000 rupees. Reputed institute like Goethe is not a fool, which is charging high fees for all levels because this is very extensive...

To improve speaking ability (through individual classes) depends on your teacher only
Without hesitation, you should just start speaking. Another very good way of getting over the fear of speaking is to sing. Learn German songs. Sing them loud...sing along. This will help you to overcome the speaking hesitations.
