Learn German · Level A1
Your first sentences in German
A1 starts from zero. No prior knowledge needed. By the end you're holding simple conversations about yourself, your day and your plans — one to one or in a pair, online and at your own times.

Outcomes
What you'll be able to do after A1
Not a vague promise of progress. These are the situations you'll handle in German by the end of the level.
-
Introduce yourself
Talk about your name, where you're from, your work and your family, and ask others the same.
-
Shop and order
Order in a café or restaurant, ask what something costs, and pay for it.
-
Find your way
Ask for directions, understand the answer, and use public transport.
-
Make appointments
Book a doctor's visit, deal with an office, arrange to meet friends, and talk about times.
-
Talk about your day
Describe your routine, where you live and what you do in your free time, in simple sentences.
-
Read everyday texts
Understand signs, forms, short messages and simple emails, and reply to them.
Learning pathway
Your way through A1
A1 isn't one large step. It's a sequence of small ones, and how fast you move depends mostly on how often you learn each week.
-
Step 1 · from zero
First words and sentences
We start at zero. You learn to introduce yourself, greet people and ask simple questions. Within a few lessons you're holding your first short conversations.
-
Step 2 · everyday life
German in real situations
Shopping, appointments, directions, telling the time. Vocabulary builds around the situations you actually need, not around textbook topics.
-
Step 3 · on to A2
Completing A1
You consolidate grammar and vocabulary and move up to A2. You can switch format at any point along the way if your schedule changes.
Common questions before starting
I speak no German at all. Can I do this?
Yes. We begin at A0, meaning zero German, and build everything from the ground up. Viktor, for example, arrived from Ukraine without a word of German and reached A2 in 12 weeks. You won't be left on your own.
What does a lesson look like?
A lesson runs 50 minutes: 10 minutes warm-up and review, 20 minutes new material, 15 minutes speaking and practice, 5 minutes homework and feedback.
Do I need a textbook or special software?
No. All materials are provided. You'll get a Google Docs link in your first lesson so everything stays digital and your learning plan is always in front of you. Lessons are 100% online via Google Meet.
Which language is used in the lessons?
German, with explanations in your own language when needed. Dmitrii is a native speaker of Russian and Ukrainian, holds German at C2 and English at C1.
