Stuck on the Intermediate Plateau? You’ve learned grammar. You're more confident understanding podcasts and articles. But when you try to speak, your mind goes blank, and your German stays locked inside your head. It’s time to break the plateau.
In weekly private lessons, you’ll explore curious topics that pull you in, with clear guidance from an experienced teacher. Personalised study packs with useful phrases, grammar, and vocabulary will support you as you actively use them in each session.
As you practise, you’ll stop searching for words and start expressing your ideas as you speak. Instead of translating in your head, you’ll speak with more ease, clarity, and confidence.
Over 4 weeks, you’ll follow a step-by-step roadmap of private lessons. Each one builds on the last, using thought-provoking topics, expert guidance and personalised study materials to help you speak German more naturally and confidently.
Reserve your place, choose your topics, and schedule your weekly sessions.
Before each lesson, you’ll get a light study pack with flashcards, discussion questions, and notes to help you feel prepared and relaxed.
Meet 1:1 with Dominik each week for a 60-minute immersive lesson. You’ll explore the topic, practise sharing your views, and be guided to use the grammar and vocabulary from your study pack in real speaking practice.
After each lesson, you’ll receive the next study pack to prepare during the week - and in your lessons, you’ll keep revisiting earlier material while adding new layers, so your skills build steadily from one session to the next.
We believe that people learn languages best with input that is interesting, understandable, and just above their level. This principle comes from linguist Stephen Krashen’s research on language acquisition, and it’s at the heart of everything we create.

We kept meeting learners who understood German well but struggled to speak it. They felt stuck in small talk - unable to talk about the things that truly interested them, and losing motivation as a result. So we built this course to give them what was missing: structured practice with expert guidance, paired with exciting topics that spark curiosity, sustain motivation, and build real speaking confidence week by week. Nikki and Dominik - the Sloeful team.
