👋 Hallo German learner!
This course is constructed like my one-on-one beginner German lessons I usually have with my students in real life. There are 7 units, each one with a specific theme. Each unit has between 10 and 15 individual lessons, most of them being under 5 minutes. Everything is split up into bite-size pieces.
You get a lot of useful vocabulary, example sentences, real-life dialogue and grammar delivered in an easy-to-understand and not too overwhelming way.
After every lesson, you will have an Übung, meaning exercise. This way you can practice your new knowledge right away. There are also regular Assignments, where you will get feedback and guidance from me so you know what you need to repeat or look out for.

☞ Student feedback and testimonials
“I just finished the course and I have to say that it’s amazing!!
It’s straight to the point, no fluffing and no wasting time.
Thank you Sandra for your hard work and I’m for sure going to take the next course with you”
“This is all you need to get started with the german language! Sandra guarantees not to bore you for the entire span of 7.5 hours. Her lessons are bite-sized, which worked for me perfectly. Even the most complex topics (like irregular verbs) are covered with so much ease and professionalism. Another wonderful thing is that she guides you and clears every doubt you may encounter along the way if you text her. Trust me, you won’t regret buying her courses. Tschüss, and thank you, Sandra! :)”
“This course is very helpful and extremely beneficial for someone who is starting from scratch. I definitely recommend it. You can even notice the progress yourself.”
“OMG I never thought that learning German is so much fun with Sandra! This course is definitely suitable for beginner because she made all videos less than 5 mins, the music is fun, the way Sandra explain and describe is very intriguing. At first you really need some motivation and less complicated lesson to force you to go through. In the last 2 units when things get hard it really hard to force myself to keep learning but I did it anyway and so happy about it. I do believe I still need to re-watch all the video again before going on to the next step but it’s like watching a movie, very relaxing. ”
“I was looking for an online course to learn the German language, since I was unable to attend a physical class because of my busy work schedule, and one of my friends referred me to this course. Frankly speaking, this A 1.1 course gave me the confidence to grab the essential German Grammar beyond my expectations. I can recommend this online course to anyone who actually needs to learn German Grammar at A 1.1 level. I am looking forward to following the A 1.2 course immediately. Thank you, Sandra and team, for making such a valuable online course.”
