Grammar

A great number of dedicated grammar videos on all the topics that students typically need help with, ranging in difficulty from beginners to advanced.

Topics such as

With exercise sections for speaking practice.

Plus downloadable  written exercises.

Film Clips

Teaching modern, authentic German, showing students how German is actually spoken - at real speed, with colloquial expressions.

The teaching videos then "decode" and explain the language used and practice newly learned words and expression right inside the video. This helps students make the leap to understanding “real” German. 

​

Plus, written transcripts  and written exercises.

Live tutoring

Monthly group lessons via skype with an experienced native German teacher. These classes are included at no additional cost.

​

In these live classes students have a chance to

• practice speaking

• increase fluency and confidence

• chat to a native speaker and interact with each other 

• ask their questions

• improve their pronunciation

The classes also provide accountability as well as support for the students to ensure they continue their own regular learning online.
