Is joining a live German course just too much right now?
We've got you covered: We filmed a whole beginner German course for you.
All you have to do: Sit back. Watch the videos. Learn German on autopilot.
Welcome to a unique kind of video course
Can't or don't want to join a group German course right now for some reason - but still want the experience? This video course is like being in a real language classroom, watching a real mixed group of beginners learn German. Get all the benefits of a real course at a fraction of the cost of live lessons.
Experience all the advantages of being in the classroom without the downsides
These beginner German classes were designed to be as "viewer-friendly" as possible. No books are used, there's no homework, no pairwork or groupwork among the students, and no awkward silences. Almost every second of this complete course (consisting of 15 sessions of roughly 90 minutes each) is filled with new information, practice exercises, corrections, or practical advice and tips. No need to worry about getting an inexperienced teacher, or having to miss a class, or being late, or not understanding something. Explanations are in English, grammar is explained in clear terms, and, best of all, you have a chance to still ask questions in each basic German lesson's comment section!
What other learners are saying about our lessons:

These lessons are absolutely amazing!
Fantastic teacher. This is much more manageable than the online zoom classes, with work and parenthood having fluctuating time requirements this kind of lesson is perfect. My family and I are enjoying your class, and already are recommending it to folks we know moving to Germany.

Stephan is one of the best language instructors I have come across!
With an intuitive knowledge of individual students' struggles with German and a capacity to explain the structure of the language, in context, that exceeded my expectations ...watching Stephan go through strategies to explain sometimes complicated language structures helped me immensely as an instructor, to say nothing of my growth as a student.
Lori

These explanations I finally understand!
I'd like to say that I have spent so much money on books, courses, time etc. and these / your explanations I finally understand!!! I think I'll finally be able to pass B1!!! I knew in my integration/immersion class I missed so much of the basics because it wasn't explained in English. I can not thank you enough!!!
Watch, pause, rewind, change speed...
Don't you sometimes with you could do this in real life? Turn up the volume when someone's too quiet, rewind and slow someone down when they're talking too fast? Rewatch something interesting?
It goes without saying that you can do all of those things while streaming this pre-recorded course. Perfect for people who would feel overwhelmed in a real classroom - and who would be unlikely to speak very much anyway.
Learn exactly the same stuff as in language schools - and more
We cover exactly the same ground as any other language school in Germany does - we just manage to do so without books, homework, or extracurricular tasks. This is a completely self-contained, progressive A1 German course (meaning, you have to take the lessons sequentially because they build up on one another), and while it covers all aspects of A1.1, it also goes beyond to explain more advanced concepts (such as the case system) from higher levels.
Gain useful language skills much earlier than anywhere else - and impress everyone with your German
This beginner German course has the advantage of being designed specifically for English-speakers, which means that lots of time can be saved by focusing on the differences between the languages, and breezing through the similarities. This is especially true since you'd be "joining" a small group of only 5 students here.
The other thing is that, in this special A1 German course, real communication stands in the foreground, with the ability to speak in the past being covered in the second lesson - and then reinforced for every single lesson afterwards. This allows you to learn to speak like a real person right away, and communicate with Germans!

Meet the teacher.
Stephan has been a professional language teacher for over 20 years, with thousands of teaching hours and hundreds of students from around the world who have learned to speak German (and English) from him. In addition, he's worked as a teacher trainer, and even co-founded his own popular language school in Berlin. Deutschable is his solo project and labor of love.
In this course, Stephan gets to combine two of his greatest passions: live teaching with real students, and building a self-paced online German learning experience for countless others.
It's not easy designing and teaching a course without books, and without the ability to put students into pairs and groups (because it would be even more boring and counterproductive watching this at home than it is for the students themselves), in one single take (no do-overs), always engaging and challenging students and viewers... but in the end it came together wonderfully.
He can be reached anytime via email or in the comment section of each lesson! Always open to feedback, new ideas, or questions about German. Let's get your German journey started right - together.

Still got questions?
I realize that this beginner German course might not be for everyone. There are certainly a lot of online German courses to choose from. In fact, I actually created two very different online beginner courses in order to ensure that I could enable people with different learning styles to learn German. Check out my other self-paced Beginner German Course here.
If you still have questions about this before you go for it, write me anytime at hello (at) deutschable (dot) com or use the contact link on the bottom of this page and send me a message. I get back to all of my current and future students very quickly.
I look forward to hearing from you and wish you much success in your German learning progress!
All the best,
Stephan
