A1.1 Deutsch für Anfänger

By the end of this 1-to-1 course, you will be able to speak surprisingly fluently about simple everyday topics. Even at this beginner stage, the goal is not slow and hesitant word-by-word speaking. You will learn how to build simple sentences with flow, using patterns, fillers, and practical speaking tools that help you keep going. You will be able to say who you are, where you are from, what you do, which languages you speak, and talk in simple ways about your family, hobbies, food, daily life, and interests. You will work with the most important beginner sentence patterns, so that you can produce many useful sentences quickly and with more confidence. You will learn to ask and answer “yes/no”-questions, W-questions, and simple spoken question patterns used in real everyday communication. You will begin to understand how German sentences are built, where the verb goes, and how negation works (word order). You will be able to say what you do, what you like and dislike, what you want, and what you plan to do. You will already start linking ideas with words such as “and”, “but”, “or”, “because”, “what”, “then”, which gives your speech more flow and more natural rhythm. A major goal of this course is that you do not sound blocked. You will learn practical expressions and “fillers” that help you react, gain time to think, and continue speaking. You will also understand and use the most important beginner grammar. This includes gender, articles, some personal pronouns, present tense, modal verbs, accusative case, simple negations, possessives, plurals, time expressions, and first reason clauses. You will also be able to write in a simple but active way from the beginning The course is designed so that you do not only understand German passively, but already use it in speaking and in short writing tasks. We read, listen, and speak from Day 1.
