Small Steps. Stronger German.

Practical learning notes to help you choose your starting point and build a routine that lasts.

A1 or A2: Where Should You Start?

Begin with A1 if you are new to German or want to rebuild the basics: introductions, numbers, time, everyday questions, and simple routines. A2 is the next step if you can already manage those situations and want to talk about experiences, plans, and preferences. Compare the curriculum with what you can comfortably use today.

A Simple 20-Minute Learning Routine

Spend five minutes reviewing yesterday’s vocabulary. Listen to a short dialogue for five minutes, first for the main idea and then for useful phrases. Practise saying those phrases aloud for five minutes. Finish by writing three sentences about your own day. Repeat the routine regularly and revisit words in context.

Five Phrases for Everyday Conversations

Begin with Guten Morgen (good morning) and introduce yourself with Ich heiße … (my name is …). When ordering, try Ich hätte gern … (I would like …). If you need someone to repeat something, say Können Sie das bitte wiederholen? Finish with Vielen Dank (thank you very much). Practise each phrase aloud, then imagine a real situation where you would use it.
