Video course

This is the most important section of this website: The course which will take you step by step to fluency. Find yourself a quiet space where you feel at ease to say the answers to my questions out loud. Take notes and make lots of comments in the section below the videos. One “Step” corresponds to one lesson week. Viel Spaß! 🙂

Special note about Level B2: I am now dedicating most of my time to producing the materials for level B2 and will publish new “steps” as soon as they are finished. You can look forward to exciting new contents!
