Ten levels following the Common European Framework of Reference. Work through them in order, or jump to the level that matches where you already are.
Erste Schritte
Say hello, introduce yourself, count, talk about your family and build your first complete German sentences.
Alltag auf Deutsch
Shop, eat, travel and describe your day. Modal verbs, the accusative case and separable verbs make your sentences useful.
Gestern und heute
Tell people what you did. The Perfekt tense, the dative case and reflexive verbs open up real conversation.
Beschreiben und vergleichen
Adjective endings, comparatives and two-way prepositions let you describe places, people and plans precisely.
Meinung und Begründung
Say what you think and why. Subordinate clauses with weil, dass, obwohl and wenn change your word order for good.
Arbeit und Gesellschaft
Relative clauses, the passive voice and Konjunktiv II for polite requests and hypotheticals.
Argumentieren
Complex connectors, nominalisation and advanced passive structures for discussion and formal writing.
Beruf und Medien
Business German, idiomatic expressions, indirect speech and the language of news and interviews.
Akademisches Deutsch
Participle constructions, extended attributes, subtle modal particles and text analysis at university level.
Nahezu muttersprachlich
Literary style, register shifting, rare grammar, idiom and the precision that separates C1 from C2.
If you have never studied German, start at A1.1. If you already know the present tense and the accusative, A2.1 is usually the right entry point. You can change level at any time in your settings.
