How is this course different from other courses?
Most German courses or textbooks cover many topics, but not always in great detail. Normally, there is a tutor to explain more. That can be a problem for those who are teaching themselves as they might not have anybody to explain further.
My courses are in depth, easy to understand and come with worksheets, quizzes, assignments to help you practice what you have learned.

Fast forward to the present and this little girl hasnt quite achieved what she wanted, but

Such an excellent well thought out course. No prior German experience is needed. Even if you know some German phonetics this course will explain WHY....

By Gigi H. Balasabas on 10/9/2020

Very easy to understand and well done thanks

By Leon Greenwell on 5/18/2020

Excellent, clear and plainly comprehensible

By Donna Byrne on 5/2/2020

It was really valuable to learn the rules of pronunciation - while I could already decipher many German words and generally know what sounds right, I could not always explain why or what the exceptions were. This will really help in pronouncing unfamiliar words and guiding my daughter with the basics as she begins learning German at school.

Very informative and well taught course. Got to learn a lot. Thank you!

By Richard Marquis on 1/25/2020

I really appreciate her pacing, which I find just right for me, especially as I benefit from having the sense of being taught by this instructor in person--Not an easy task. Thanks for notably accelerating my progress in the German language, all ready!

Quiet good for beginner. ??

By Vinita Sidhaye on 1/15/2020

The course does meet its set objectives and would be best for any beginner with say 20% of prior German knowledge. The instructor has explained the combination of vowels, consonants and diphthongs very precisely. It helped me a lot in getting an elaborate understanding of the topic. The pace of instruction and narration was just perfect. Thanks for all the efforts.
