A1.1 beginner course
Inside the classroom
A whole class to follow. Plenty of room to get comfortable.
This is a real course with real beginners. You hear the questions they ask, see what they find confusing, and follow along as I explain, correct, and try another example.
Often, someone asks exactly the question you were thinking. Sometimes you'll work out an answer before they do. And when something needs a second look, you can simply rewind.
Think of it as sitting in on a class as an observer: you get to follow the whole lesson, without being asked to introduce yourself, switch on a camera, or answer in front of other people.
Real students, real learning.
Follow the questions and mistakes that naturally come up when people start learning German.
Your own comfortable place in the class.
Think along, take notes, or try an answer out loud at home. Participation is entirely up to you.
A classroom with a pause button.
Rewind an explanation, change the playback speed, or stop for a break whenever you need to.
“Fantastic teacher. This is much more manageable than the online zoom classes”
German class can fit into your life after all.
When your schedule keeps changing
Watch when you have time. A session can be an evening's learning or several shorter visits to the classroom. You decide when to start and when to take a break.
When a live course costs too much
The entire Recorded A1.1 Classroom is included in the €29.99 package, together with the other Deutschable self-study courses. One payment gives you a year to use them.
When there isn't a suitable class nearby
Your classroom is wherever you can stream the lessons. Get comfortable at home or take the course with you when you're away.
When you'd rather listen before speaking
You can get used to the language and the rhythm of a lesson while staying completely out of the spotlight. Try things privately, repeat them, and take your time.
Your next lesson is ready whenever you are.
What you'll learn
Start building German you can use.
The course starts with the basics and builds step by step through A1.1, the first part of beginner German. Some explanations go further to help you understand how the language fits together.
- 01
Introduce yourself and talk about your work
Start with introductions, jobs, numbers, and pronunciation, using the group's own examples as you learn.
- 02
Ask and understand simple questions
Follow the back-and-forth between teacher and students and practice putting your own answers together.
- 03
Start talking about what happened
Meet the German past tense in session two, then keep coming back to it as the course continues.
- 04
Make sense of German grammar
Hear explanations in English and see them applied in the classroom, including an introduction to how the case system works.
The sessions build on one another, so start at the beginning and follow them in order. You'll have over 20 hours of recorded classroom teaching across 15 sessions to work through, with plenty of opportunities to pause, think, and revisit an explanation.
You don't need to buy a textbook or keep up with homework deadlines.
Hi, I'm Stephan. I'll be at the front of the class.
I've been teaching languages for over 20 years, training other teachers, and helping people from all kinds of backgrounds make sense of German.
I made this course because I wanted you to be able to experience a whole beginner class even if attending one just isn't practical right now. The explanations are in English, the students are real beginners, and you can follow every session in your own time.
And if a question comes up while you're watching, you can leave it in the lesson comments. I'll answer there, so you can keep working things out with me.

Questions along the way? You can ask in the lesson comments.
A few things you might be wondering.
Will I have to speak, appear on camera, or join a live call?
No. You're watching recordings of a class that has already taken place. You won't be called on, seen, or heard. You can think through answers or speak along privately whenever you feel like it.
Is this suitable for a complete beginner?
Yes. The course begins with the basics and is designed around A1.1, the first part of beginner German. Follow the sessions in order, since they build on one another.
Do I need to understand German to follow the teaching?
No. The explanations are in English, with German introduced and practiced throughout the lessons. You should be comfortable following explanations in English.
Do I have to watch a whole session (75 to 90 minutes) at once?
No. You can pause, take breaks, rewind, and change the playback speed. Work through each session in whatever-sized chunks suit you.
Can I ask Stephan a question?
Yes. Each lesson has a comment section where you can leave questions. I'll reply there. These are written exchanges you can return to, rather than a live call.
Do I need a textbook or other materials?
You don't need to buy a textbook to follow the course, and there are no homework deadlines. A notebook can be useful if you enjoy taking notes. You'll also have the other included self-study courses for additional explanations and practice.
Will watching help me speak German?
You'll hear German being explained and used, follow classroom exercises, and build material for your own answers. Pausing to answer aloud can help you practice. Speaking with other people is useful too; the recordings don't include live conversation practice or individual feedback on your pronunciation.
