Korshub's take

Overview

This free introduction to German uses TPRS (Total Physical Response and Storytelling) along with other comprehensible-input methods, meaning you learn largely by watching entertaining dialogues and stories rather than through drills or worksheets. The course covers the German script, self-introductions, colors, and numbers, with dialogues and stories provided in both German and English.

Who it's for

Absolute beginners, including families and kids, who want to test whether German and this teaching style suit them before committing further.

Key takeaways

An introduction to the German language and script
Self-introductions, colors, and numbers
Stories and dialogues with repetition and variation to aid memory
A companion Interactive Picture Dictionary page and links to further resources

The focus is on listening, comprehension, and speaking rather than reading, writing, or grammar drills.

And if you're really sure about it, then you can start with my complete Absolute Beginner Course while getting 25% off.

I use TPRS (total-physical-response and storytelling) as well as other CI-methods (comprehensible input). Therefore it's just like watching fun and entertaining videos and playing games. Learning German will be something that happens naturally.

It's important for me that German is fun with up-to-date and useful phrases. Therefore there aren't any boring exersices where you need to fill out worksheets or memorize extremely formal sentences.

We focus on listening, comprehending and speaking, rather than reading, writing and grammar.

You will still ahve the chance to start reading and writing as we go along the course. It's just not something I'm teaching.

In conclusion this course works for the whole family and even kids can follow (most) of the videos and lessons.
