Created by: AbcEdu Online
Last updated May 2021
Our take
Based on the ratings of 16,583 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in May 2021. No course pays to be reviewed.
This is a beginner German course from AbcEdu Online. It covers A1, A2 and A2+ across 61 lectures and about 17 hours, with a quiz after each lesson and a PDF to download. The big thing to know is the teaching language. The teacher speaks German from the start, with subtitles in English and other languages on screen. That is the immersion method the description talks about, and reviewers confirm it. More than 107,000 students have enrolled, so plenty of people have tried it.
About four in five ratings are 4 or 5 stars. Happy students say the lessons start from the basics, go straight to the point, and come from a teacher, called Alex by reviewers, who is clear and sometimes funny. One reviewer says learning a language through that same language works perfectly for them. The 1 and 2 star reviews are almost all one complaint: they are true beginners and expected English explanations. Smaller gripes include low sound, quiz questions written in German, a pace that picks up during the alphabet lessons, and subtitles that sometimes switch language on their own.
The course was last updated in May 2021, which matters less for a language than for software. Reviewers who stick with it call it a solid introduction, and one heads straight on to the B1 course. It suits people who want to train their ear from the first lesson. If you need English explanations to get started, a course taught in English will frustrate less.
Pros
- Teacher speaks German throughout with subtitles, so the ear trains from lesson one
- Starts from the very basics and goes straight to the point, say reviewers
- A quiz after each lesson plus downloadable PDFs for review
- Teacher described as informative and at times funny, with clear explanations
Cons
- Teaching is in German, so true beginners lean hard on the subtitles
- Reviewers report quiet sound, German-only quiz questions and subtitles that switch language
- Last updated in 2021, and the pace picks up quickly for some learners
The best way to learn a language efficiently is to learn it solely by using that very same language itself. This course pulls this off perfectly!
Listed for all levels, but it really suits true beginners who can cope with German-only teaching plus subtitles.

I love the Course because you go straight to the point. explaining what should and shouldn't be done. I also like the way you started from the basic.
By Udemy User on 4/30/2026
Probably would be better if the explanations were a bit longer and the person spoke in English. How-ever, as he is explaining in German, it does help increase my hearing and understanding skills. Might expedite my learning progress
By Udemy User on 2/9/2026
Wonderful and well explained course however some time the subtitles would switch from English to German themselves due to which I had ask my AI assistant. The preview was in English and the course was in German due to which I used subtitles. Otherwise it helped me lot learn German and was set with my schedule.

Really enjoying the course, it's hit the mark in terms of the german I wanted to learn
By Ayushman Munshi on 1/24/2026
it was good but there should be a combination of english and german language coz he just spoke in german i have to sync through the subtitles , and its kinda difficult
By Juma Rahymov on 12/23/2025
Der Kurs mag für absolute Anfänger etwas schwierig sein, aber solange man dranbleibt, ist er sehr gut und nützlich. Vielen Dank, lieber Lehrer. Herzliche Grüße aus Turkmenistan

Alex was informative and at times very funny, his humour is on point. The transcript could've done with more of a translation as there were times when I wanted to know what a word was, but in the transcript it was written in German. Other than that, a very good introduction to the German language.

her şey çok güzel ancak biraz hızlı ilerliyor sanırım online olduğu için kelimeleri kendimiz tekrar etmemiz için de biraz süre tanıyabilir. durdurmak zorunda kalıyorum :)
By Chanakya Chowdary on 11/8/2020
The quality is good and understanding but its better if the audio is provided in english because it is for beginners and we cant understand german and this starting stage.
By Antoniya Andreeva on 11/8/2020
I don't like the idea that a course for beginners is in German. Yes, i know there are subtitles but it is difficult to read subtitles and watch the board. I have dropped the course after the 12th lesson.
By Shivangi B on 11/8/2020
amazing course and content !!Can totally learn a new language through this
By Felix Patricio on 11/8/2020
This german course is great! I love the way the teacher explains! He is good!
I'd like only you could include german captions at the same time the translation is appearing on screen.
