Description
Learn fast while having fun!

The most important way to succeed in learning a new language is to have fun doing it.

If you are having a good time while learning, the experience turns out to be both: more enjoyable AND more effective.

After thousands of German lessons with all kinds of students through the years, this simple truth has been confirmed over and over again. That´s why my teaching and this course aims to keep the learning efficient by providing a good experience.

"Really excellent - well thought-out and consistently interesting; I can't think of a better way to start off on the road to learning German." Tom Treadwell

"A brilliant and very clever course. I was surprised at how much, and how quickly I learned." - Rachel Withers

What`s different about this course?

This course cares about HOW you can learn German in an interesting and motivating way!

An important aspect for your motivation as a student is that what you learn must be relevant to you. The whole course is based on a story of two people meeting in Berlin. The story is told through conversations reflecting realistic everyday situations. Every section begins with a dialogue and you can always choose between the complete dialogue and a two-part version. All the following lessons within a section deal with basic grammar and useful vocabulary directly related to that dialogue. The grammar is explained in a logical and easy-to-follow way, and is always related to real-life communication in different situations.

You can test your own progress during the course with various exercises and the developing story keeps you motivated to discover what happens next. You´ll also find some crucial tips how to stay motivated along the way, since this aspect is a central point of this course and my work as a teacher.

I`ll give you useful tips for sounding like a native speaker and I encourage you to use your developing speaking skills in other contexts. That way, you`ll be able to communicate spontaneously in German.

"The teacher hooks your attention from the first moment to follow up the story and learn along the way. Clever method and well prepared material, never gets boring :)" - Patroklos Anagnostou
