Course Description

Hello and welcome to “3 Minute German - Course 3” The aim of this course is to make German accessible to anybody regardless of age, educational background or "aptitude" for learning. This course leads on from "3 Minute German – Courses 1 and 2" and new language structures are introduced to enable you to communicate in more situations when on holiday abroad.

My method for teaching German is simple but effective. It works for anybody, no matter what your requirements. I have been teaching foreign languages for over ten years and I’ve taught a wide range of students of all ages and backgrounds, including students with learning difficulties, so I know my method is accessible to absolutely anyone, with no exception.

With this course, it’s almost as if you have your very own language tutor at your beck and call. Take it with you wherever you are and have a quick listen to one of the lessons whenever you find yourself with three minutes to spare. You will be amazed at how much your language skills will develop after just a few minutes a day of study. You will start to learn the German language in a simple, logical and fun way.

You will learn a variety of words that you will learn to put together to form sentences that will be useful in any visit to Germany or any other German speaking country, and you'll learn how to put the words together to form sentences, saying exactly what you want.

There is ample opportunity throughout the course to practise what you've learnt, and structured repetition ensures you'll never forget what you've learnt.

Kieran Ball

Hello, bonjour, hola, hallo, ciao and olá! 

I’m Kieran and I’m a language tutor based in the UK, and I also create online courses and write books to make language learning accessible to all.

My books and online courses are based on the method I developed for teaching languages, which I've been using in all my classes for many  years. The method will get you speaking quickly, without the  struggle normally associated with language learning.

I have created three series of language courses available in French,  Spanish, German, Italian and Portuguese. They're called: '3 Minute  Languages', 'Building Structures' and 'Quick Guides'.


I hope you enjoy, and "Happy Learning" :-)

This last lesson on traffic, once again, was just pure overkill... I lost interest in finishing this course because so much was wasted on traffic...

I enjoy the learning German in repeatable phrases. Hoping to use the learning on a trip at the end of the year!

By Melissa Landers on 9/4/2023

I’ve really enjoyed this course. The short sessions and repetitive nature helps to ensure I retain the language. I also feel like it’s easy to fit into my busy schedule.

By Dmitry Hamza [C] on 8/19/2023

Really good one. It differs greatly from other standard courses where you go through these template-like lessons like 1. Here's grammar 2. Here's how we apply it 3. Here's some topic about German culture and so on and so on. We don't learn our native languages like this when we are children. We just hear and repeat, trying to find some repeated patterns. For sure all of us need some structured lessons with grammar and other stuff, but that's when we at least know some basic language and just want to improve it even more. I'd better take these 3 minutes lessons and in some time I will be able to communicate at least at some degree rather than start some boring standard German lessons and give up after the first 3 units.

I have an idea for you, the sentence, that are being displayed in the video. Just add simple javascript render overlay to the video, that picks up the keys I type, and well, displays them matching the text on screen. That way re-enforce the spelling of the words, else just do it by fake typing

As great as the previous two. I am going to start the fourth one now. Pity, I see it seems to stop after five.

When I first visited Deutschland; I couldn't speak or understand a single word of this great language and now I can use it to a functional level quite confidently. ​

I like the teacher who gives us a few new words in each lesson. And he build on the vocabularies that we learn and build up sentences that we'll commonly use in our daily life. And I like the exercise he works with us in the lesson. It really is helping my brain to work in a new language. And I find it fun to learn when I follow lesson by lesson.

Ive studied at the Goethe Institute for a couple of years. I stopped going because of work but when I left I was a month from level "B1". I always had issues with speaking and thinking in German. I always felt like I was missing something as other students seemed to progress easily. With this course, the vocabulary is brought in slowly with tons of review. The grammar moves at a decent pace and covers a great deal without too much trouble. I listened to it on the way to work, in the parking lot and sometimes on the way home but got the most out of the course dedicating time at home to actively focus and respond out-loud. I wrote down words that don't pop into my head quickly. Replay tell you translate before the teacher does and replay some more. If there is only one suggestion for learning German it would be that you have to SPEAK it to LEARN it. I know how that sounds but just do it! This course is focused on just that and he did a great job on it.

su método en verdad ayuda a que lo que aprendes se quede en tu memoria, solo hay que tener paciencia y no querer acabarlo rápido
