Our Method

Download our free PDF: 99 German words & idioms. Each expression comes with a German example sentence, a translation & useful vocabulary.

Our method is based on the work of the American linguist Stephen Krashen. Krashen's theory is that we acquire new languages naturally through comprehensible input.

Anything that you consume in your target language Krashen calls input: A German text, a podcast or a conversation with a native speaker are all input. Input is comprehensible, when you can understand its meaning - when you can comprehend it.
