German Language Course For Beginners (Complete Level A1)

Welcome to your German A1 journey! I'm Lysann, and I'll be your guide in this comprehensive German course designed for absolute beginners. This German A1 course will equip you with all the essential skills to confidently start speaking and understanding German.

You'll master fundamental German grammar, improve your speaking skills, enhance your reading comprehension, and learn about everyday topics crucial for passing your German A1 exam.

I've created a dedicated German learning book (A1 level) to accompany this course, and we'll work through it step-by-step. This is a very hands-on German course, so I highly recommend printing the Work- and Answerbook (found in Project and Resources) for practice. Alternatively, have a notebook and pen ready to jot down notes and exercise answers.

Each chapter follows a clear structure: first, we'll cover the German grammar concepts, followed by illustrative examples, and finally, practical exercises to reinforce your learning. The Work- and Answerbooks are 93 pages each and include all exercises with detailed solutions.
