Frequently Asked Questions
Consulting means you can ask any question about how to learn German more efficiently e.g. how to improve a study technique that you are using or how to get out of the feeling of being stuck. Consulting is about empowering you to become a more autonomous and more efficient learner. I'll of course also respond to questions related to the German language. For legal reasons I need to make it crystal clear that this does NOT mean teaching you German structuredly in person or in a group like you know it from language schools or private tutors. It also doesn't mean I'll plan your German studies FOR you, or that I check your group course's or private teacher's homework or monitor your individual process or progress in any way. My courses do most of these things already sufficiently well and fully automatically.
I believe everyone deserves access to high quality German courses. If you're facing financial difficulties, I offer two options:
1. A Budget Plan: This will grant you access to my All Courses plan for just €9,90/month. It's available only for learners with limited income.
2. A Scholarship Program: For learners with no income but very high motivation to learn the language, I offer limited spots at €1/month which will grant you access to all courses.
NOTE that there will be NO FREE TRIAL for the following subscriptions:
Apply for budget pricing here
Apply for scholarship here
Please understand that the budget plan and scholarship plans are limited depending on my actual revenue. I'll share more precise numbers once it's clear how many of these plans I can give away without risking my livelihood. I hope for many.

Yes, but it'll have to be done by me manually. So if you realise you'd like to change to a yearly or five yearly subscription, reach out to me via my homepage and I'll get back to you. There will be no reimbursement of previously paid membership fees. The change will take place at the end of your current billing cycle unless you switch from yearly to 5 yearly. Then I'll make the effort and calculate the difference and you only pay the difference.
I offer a 7-day free trial for all plans. If you cancel within the trial period, you won't be charged. After the trial, I generally don't offer refunds, but if you just missed the deadline by a day or three I'll make an exception. After that you will have to book that money as teaching money. Users on a 5 years plan will of course have a 30 days money back guarantee.
And if you encounter any issue with the course, reach out to me. I'm always happy to help.

Become Fluent At Your Own Pace
Special Offer
If you'd like to learn German without any time pressure, my 5-year plan is the perfect choice.
It gives you peace of mind, saves you money – it's a massive 66% discount on the regular subscription – and keeps you focused on learning instead of deadlines.
And the best part: if you need more time after the 5 years, you'll get an incredible 80% discount on any follow-up plan at the price then.
On A Tight Budget?
Social Discount
To make SmarterGerman accessible to everyone, I offer a special subscription of €9,90/month for learners on a very tight budget.
This option is designed for those who can contribute a small amount each month while promising to pay this favor forward once their financial situation improves.
You don’t owe me or anyone anything — it’s a matter of shared fairness and understanding.
Before joining, please use your 7-day free trial to explore all courses
and see if my method is right for you.
Scholarship
For those with no income or savings at all but strong motivation,
I offer a Scholarship Plan with a symbolic fee of €1/month.
It includes a short letter of motivation and monthly progress reports, along with a promise to pay this gift forward when possible.
You owe nothing beyond gratitude and integrity — this program exists thanks to the generosity of others.
Note: due to banking limits, there’s no direct free trial for the scholarship option. Check the FAQ for more information about how to try my courses for free nevertheless.
