Guide to German language course

The German course on this site contains grammar and vocabulary related to A1 and A2 levels (beginner levels). The course will allow you, if you have no prior knowledge of the German language, to understand key concepts of German grammar and to build basic German vocabulary (around 1000 words). After finishing this course, you should be able to consume German content intended for learning and should be able to create your own lessons in the Lessons section and to continue your learning process.

You can use the course without logging in, but anonymous users cannot add words to their dictionaries.

It is suggested to use the course in the following way:

• Play the whole audio recording for the course lesson
• Read the text, look at the translation, and play the whole audio recording again, this time reading the text at the same time
• Click on all the "?" buttons to see information about the particular elements of sentences - this is crucial since these explanations will guide you in your learning process.
• Add the unknown words to your dictionary (available to logged-in users).
• Try to read the whole text in German, and if you have some doubts about pronunciation, you can play just a specific segment of the lesson text to hear that segment in German.
• Read the key phrases and do the small test at the end of the course lesson
• Practice the words you have added to your dictionary using the Practice section of this site (available to logged-in users)
• When you finish the course lesson, click on the circle in front of the course lesson title to mark it finished (available to logged-in users)

A single lesson should take you around half an hour to finish, so if you do one lesson per day, in 40 days, you should have a solid foundation for continuing your German language study.

For the users that are logged-in, you can add words in the course text to your dictionary. Words that you have in your dictionary that you know in the course lesson won't be marked. Unknown words will be marked blue. Words in your dictionary that are not marked as knows will be marked yellow. Also, you cannot add a word to your dictionary without a translation. Other fields are optional.
