I've used your German course to jump a few levels and then joined a physical class. Just got my B1 certificate last month (98% B1 proficiency, yay) and your online course had a good part in that." - Viorel SThis German course is perfect if you want to:
master everyday situations in a German speaking countrycommunicate accurately what you want to saybe spontaneous in conversations and discussionsdevelop your reading, writing, speaking and listening skillspronounce German words like native speakersuse German grammar with ease and fluency"Ingo has a ton of experience in German teaching. You can tell all of the best practices and good tips come to life here. His pace is perfect for the beginner so don't be intimidated! Highly recommend." - Gabriel John RodriguezCover the basics and then progress fastWhether you are a complete beginner, too busy for a language class, or needing to brush up before a vacation or business trip, this is the perfect German course for you. It covers all four basic skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing, and you can enjoy the freedom and flexibility to learn at your own pace. Grammar and vocabulary are taught through texts and dialogues based on everyday situations ranging from talking about interests and hobbies, daily routines to ordering food in a restaurant and making a doctor's appointment. "This German course was great on many levels. It really outlines the basics and builds a solid foundation. Things are explained and taught in a simple and clear format. The progression is also very encouraging because one continues to build on previous lessons. I highly recommend this course!" - Peter Hamon Start forming sentences after the very first lesson The language is approached in a functional and communicative way so that you can easily use what you have learned to communicate in German effectively. I have kept the grammatical explanations as simple and user-friendly as possible to allow you to progress at a steady pace but at the same time build up a sound understanding of how the language works and so build up your confidence."I love the approach the teacher uses. It's all about immediate immersion in to full sentences, then he breaks down the parts of the sentences. He also encourages you to get out of the course to online forums and apps that will help build your vocabulary and connect you with native speakers. It's really great and totally worth the $!" - Levi BaadeDevelop your skills even further"German Made Simple" is part of a well thought-out language learning concept, so if you'd like to develop your skills even further after you finish this course, I've got you covered.

It's a good course and I am enjoying it so far. My only problem is with regard to the some letters and how hard it is for me to see when they're in capital form. Particularly the letter S.

By Abhinavayoga Kumar on 9/22/2020

So far it is good. But I would have preferred to start with Basics and then go to the introduction stage.

By Gonzalo Mendez on 9/22/2020

My mother language is Spanish, and even I'm fluent in English, I don't find it practical to have so much English in a German course. I would prefer to hear more German with spaces for the explanation in English.

By Praveen Jangade on 9/21/2020

very good. Excellent learning experience. Danke
