Free online courseLearn German A1

Course Description

Start building real, usable German from day one with this free online A1 course designed for absolute beginners. If you want to travel more comfortably, prepare for study or work opportunities, or simply understand and speak the basics with confidence, this training helps you create a solid foundation without feeling overwhelmed.

A strong start in German depends on pronunciation, and that is where many learners struggle. This course helps you train your ear and your mouth for the sounds that make German sound German, from long and short vowels to letters that behave differently than in English. You will practice key sound patterns and common pronunciation traps so you can be understood more easily and avoid developing habits that are hard to fix later.

You will also learn how German is used in real social situations. From greetings and farewells to choosing the appropriate formal form of address, you will gain the practical language that helps you make a good impression and communicate politely. You will know what to say when you need help, including how to ask someone to switch to English, while still keeping the interaction respectful and clear.

As your confidence grows, you will begin to understand core grammar ideas that unlock everyday conversation. The course supports you in recognizing common pronouns, asking simple questions, describing nationality, and forming time expressions in a natural order. These building blocks make it easier to create your own sentences rather than memorizing isolated phrases.

Finally, you will strengthen essential beginner skills such as numbers and everyday patterns that appear constantly in dates, schedules, shopping, and basic planning. By the end, you should feel more comfortable listening to beginner German, speaking with clearer pronunciation, and handling simple conversations with the kind of accuracy that makes continued learning much easier.
