What each lesson gives you
Four things, every day, in one place.
Short daily reading
A single, manageable text each day. Sessions stay short enough to finish, which is what turns German study into a habit rather than an occasional effort.
German audio
Listen to the German text read aloud, and slow it down while you are still finding your way through a sentence. Three speeds: slow, learning and normal.
Useful vocabulary
The words and expressions worth keeping, with meanings, articles, plurals and verb forms, each one shown in a short German example sentence.
Practical exercises
Every lesson closes with comprehension questions and a short writing task, so you practise producing German and not only recognising it.
How it works
The same four steps each day. The routine is the point.
- 1
Read the German text
Start with the German on its own and take in as much as you can. You do not need to understand every word on the first pass.
- 2
Reveal the English when needed
Each paragraph keeps its translation one click away, so you can check a difficult sentence without losing your place in the text.
- 3
Review vocabulary and expressions
Work through the words worth keeping, with articles, plurals, verb forms and a short example sentence for each one.
- 4
Complete the questions and writing task
Finish with five comprehension questions and a short piece of writing, so the lesson ends with German you have produced yourself.
