Learn German independently

... is interesting for ...Selbststudium

Accompaniment of a language course

  • Learn German more intensively and with additional exercises
  • expand your knowledge of German more quickly
  • consolidate knowledge according to your own needs
  • learn more about Germany with films, music and videos
  • follow your progress with tests

individual learning instead of a language course

  • to save course fees
  • when everyday life does not match the offered courses 
  • for students who want to learn faster or slower
Internet, streaming services, online platforms, etc. offer more and more content in German. The growing range of information increasingly reduces the need for a classic German course.
In the last few years I have combined the content of a German course with the possibilities of the internet.
As a result, interested parties have the opportunity to put together their own German course. Structured material is combined with interactive content such as videos, audios and games so that students and course participants can practically organize their course themselves.
Of course, more flexibility also requires a little more discipline. And an experienced teacher is helpful with practice, questions, correction, and motivation.

You can put together your own flexible German course and learn German quickly and cheaply.

Organization of your own German course

Ordner

1. Definition of your own German course

Write down how you want to study.

2. Create a folder

You organize the material that you will use and collect all the material that you want to keep. Leave some space for overviews, vocabulary lists and cover sheets.

3. Create the conditions

Prepare everything you need for your German course.

4. Organization of your own German course

Define course times and rhythm

If you prepare your German course well, you will increase motivation and avoid interruptions and stress.

This is how you learn the German language on your own

Concept of the course

Levels A1 to C2 and the 10 lessons in each level will give you a good path for your self-study. 

You can confirm that you have a good command of the content of the lesson (grammar, vocabulary, idioms) with a small test after each lesson. Having passed the test move on to the next lesson. Otherwise, repeat the weak topics.
variety of material

Variety

Concentration, everyday life, activities and other factors influence the daily shape of all students. So, it helps to study the German language on your own if you can vary the material and the learning technique.

In addition to the systematic copies for the individual lessons, the cover sheets show which additional material is recommended for the respective lesson.

Examples:

  • With short online games you can test your knowledge and improve it playing. Topics of the German language are such as articles, tenses, prepositions, etc.
  • Videos with duration of five to ten minutes explain grammar, vocabulary and expressions. There are also videos that accompany the exercises in the copies and that can be used to check the solutions.
  • Other short videos that focus on listening comprehension can be used as a dictation exercise.
  • Movies with subtitles not only tell stories about life in Germany. Even if you understand relatively little at first, your hearing and understanding are trained.
  • Numerous music clips with subtitles and skits loosen up the course and give examples of the German language in practice.
  • Short films, documentaries and reports are recommended for higher levels. The texts are also available for almost every film, so that you can read the content in order to understand the context and look for unknown vocabulary.

Learn systematically and use the varied possibilities that are available as a supplement.

Start of the German course

  1. Reserve the time for your German studies (and also the repetitions or extra exercises such as film, videos, music ...)
  2. Set goals and milestones (which goal do you want to achieve in which time)
  3. Print the materials (cover sheet and copies of the lesson)
  4. See the first few videos and do the exercises in your copy of the lesson

Tips for learning the German language

  • A2 is a good goal for beginners.You will be able to communicate well with Germans but with mistakes.
  • Passive way of learning, e.g. listening to music or conversations, has a big effect. Even if you only really listen for 10-15 minutes, try running it for half an hour if possible.
  • Use small breaks in your daily life forour German course. For example, you can play an article game on your smartphone while you wait for someone.
  • Try different learning techniques to better retain the vocabulary. (Vocabulary trainer, index cards, lists, ...)

Book a private lesson at the beginning:

The teacher can explain the material, give tips on how to organize self-study, and show where you can find more material.
