Course Description
If you are studying German anywhere from the beginning of A2 until the end of B1, this course is for you!
We will start off with an entry level test to make sure your A1-level is solid and can be built upon, as this course follows my A1 grammar course. In all answers you will be provided with a grammar explanation, which is a great refresher for what you've already learned.
You will then learn all the important German grammar points and more on an elementary to intermediate level (A2 to B1).
I will illustrate the grammar points with many real-life examples that are translated in-course, so you will be able to pick up quite a bit of vocabulary as well, and provide you with exercises at the end of each topic to practice what you learned.
For each lecture, I added a pdf-sheet with the complete lecture content. There is also a pdf-worksheet attached to almost all lectures with additional written exercises, and some of them also contain additional information.
The German language levels concerning grammar (A1-B1) don't have a clear-cut curriculum. Some topics are typically taught on certain levels but depending on the course they might come up sooner or later. To give you a better orientation, I added the levels to my course lectures in which the topic typically appears first.
Lecture (A2): usually comes up in level A2
Lecture (B1): usually comes up in level B1
Lecture (Plus): Not always covered in the common level-oriented curriculum
In my experience, the A2 topics are also of interest to intermediate learners because in common textbooks they are often brought up but not worked out in detail. Many learners go into the B1 level with a lot of A2-questions unanswered. That's why I included them - in detail, with hopefully all questions answered. And if you still have any questions, there's a Q&A, where you can find many answers or simply ask your individual questions.
I hope your learning experience will be splendid! And now let's get started - Los geht's!

It was excellent and it helped me a lot in my language learning journey. I really appreciate the real life examples included to understand the content properly. However, it could have been a little better with more examples, as in the course: "German for You A1/A2: A German Language Course for Beginners."

great teacher, although I believe it would have been even more effective if she had used less English and more Deutch even in the Explanation, I know it sounds ridiculous, but this is supposed to be A2, B1. and at this point, speaking is not the biggest issue, but understanding what others say, coz I live in Germany and the biggest problem for me is that people speak really fast and it requires a lot of practice to understand them

Die Lehrerin erklärt es sehr einfach, deswegen verstehe ich es schnell. Aber ich bemerkte manchen kleinen Fehler, aber das war nicht so schlimm. Ich würde lieber viele Beispiele üben und die Liste der reflexiven Verben. Ingesamt empfehle ich sie meinen Freunden.

The course is good, lot of rules explained. Good enough for a recorded online session. It would be even better if more practice sessions could be added.
By Ahmed on 4/14/2021
Yes, indeed. Learning a new language , processing and understanding such amount of contents, spending this amount of time and efforts really requires a good luck with finding the right teacher and right course structure. I feel very comfortable to the sound and style of the Teacher, and open up for learning, and practicing as the course structure allows me to practice in between.

I am usually hesitant to write review, but the explanations are very clear! Suddenly German grammar start making sense.My personal explanation of a teacher is " a teacher is the one who makes difficult themes easier for students to understand" that is what you find in this course. I am learning every day some thing new.

I passed BI already and there are lotsof lessons that we did not discuss in school. I had to review and with this course, many lessons were explained clearly. I would recommend it for anybody who wants to advance their German.

Great course! I'm so lucky that I found it!! I'm very thankful to the teacher. She is the best! With a simple words she is explaining the difficult deutsch Grammar. It is really above my expectation! Thank you so much!!

It covers a wide range of grammar for German study. I myself is at the level around A2.1 and this course can sometimes be a bit difficult to me, but it is still quite informative and beneficial to my study.
By Yuval Levavi on 4/1/2020
for the most part, slightly too easy. Not chalanging enough. In the last sectiones, however, the examples (and the past terminology) are not translated/explained, and with the small nuances dealt with, it's sometimes hard to follow.
