100% Free German Courses
Have you ever head the dream of helping tens of thousands of humans to a better life? Here’s your opportunity. It only takes 3 minutes watching the video below. In return for your time you’ll be able to learn German up to level B2 for free. You got 3 minutes for that, right?
Help Me, Help You
I believe in the power of community. Therefore, I’m offering my A1–B2 German courses completely free — for everyone, no strings attached. To make this sustainable, I need 1,000–2,000 people to contribute $10/month. Are you one of them? If you want to help, you can:
• Support me and get support yourself with a monthly membership
• Buy one of my other German learning courses (e.g. the German Grammar Genius course)
• Make a one time contribution of your choice (every dollar counts)
I can’t do this alone. But with your help, tens of thousands can learn German without cost holding them back.
Learning German takes months if not years. Difficult times are bound to come. The best way to get through a rough patch is by having professional and compassionate support. My support memberships are offering precisely that for the fraction of the cost of a private teacher. On top of that YOU will be supporting over 40,000 (and growing) learners by enabling them to learn German for free. 10 USD allow 40 people to learn German for free for a full month. THAT’s what I call a return on investment. Would you like support and to support others with a small amount? Even one month can make all the difference to a learner in Egypt who only makes 44 USD a month or to someone in Türkiye where inflation is high.
Core Members
Pay only $9.90 per month (incl. VAT) and receive full access to my Community where you’ll not only find even more helpful resources but also have the opportunity to meet other German learners and to share your experience and questions regarding learning German which your peers will respond to. I’ll also check in regularly and respond. On top of that I’ll see to it that the community stays a safe space for everyone to hang out.
Premium Members
You’ll pay $29.90 per month (incl. VAT) and receive full access to my Community and on top of that you’ll get invited to 2-4 group video calls per month where you can ask any question you have in person, meet me and other engaged German learners in person, well virtually, and you’ll help ensure that many thousands of German learners will have the opportunity to learn German for free.
Both memberships come with a 7-day free trial. You will be automatically charged after your trial so make sure to cancel in time if you don’t want to continue using the Community. There will be NO REFUNDS. Memberships renew monthly until cancelled. You can cancel your membership easily via your account. When you cancel you’ll still be able to access the Community until the end of your billing cycle. You can also skip the trial if you are already clear that you want to become support member.
