It’s no secret that learning German is a lot of work. Many learners quickly get frustrated and demotivated, believing that the German language is way too complex to master or, even worse, thinking that they are simply not gifted enough to learn foreign languages at all.
Some learners’ lives simply don’t allow them to invest the necessary time and effort in order to get to the point where speaking German is effortless.
At some point, many expats realise they are living in a bubble: their job doesn’t require them to speak German, the Kindergarten is bilingual, and their friends are fluent in English or are expats themselves.
Yet all of us want to feel like we belong. We want to be able to connect with our new environment. And, most of all, wouldn’t it be nice to be able to navigate through life more easily?
Here’s the good news: learning German properly is not only possible but can also be enjoyable. And you don’t even need a live tutor anymore.
After 13 years of working for different language schools with different methods, Michael got frustrated with their common approach to teaching and quit his job. He created SmarterGerman, a new system that teaches you German in a manner that is easy-to-understand and flexible, allowing you to learn in your own time, at your own pace.
SmarterGerman’s A1-B2 courses are now available for free - no strings attached
Ideally, a teacher makes themselves redundant as soon as possible. This can only be achieved by helping learners to become autonomous.
At first, people are often sceptical when they hear that they actually learn better on their own, but the SmarterGerman approach is actually very effective.
Here are the top five points for why you should give a SmarterGerman course a try:
The online course teaches you how to learn (more) efficiently on your own
SmarterGerman shoulders the full burden of learning admin (organising materials and creating and maintaining study plans), leaving you free to fully focus on and enjoy your learning.
Complex matters are explained in crystal clear English so that you can be 100 percent sure you understand – very different from sitting in a class where things are explained only in German! This short video explains why this saves you a lot of frustration.
You’ll learn simple, yet very effective, memory techniques to quickly learn things that don’t stick easily, like German articles and irregular verbs. You can even learn all of the irregular German verbs in two hours or less with SmarterGerman’s free web app. Or if you are interested to finally master the German articles, check out Michael’s Article Buster web app free of charge.
A SmarterGerman course allows you to learn at your own pace – meaning no peer pressure, no falling behind or being slowed down by other learners. There’s also no need to travel and no fixed times. You can even learn on the go with SmarterGerman’s free apps for iOS and Android.
