Built around your life
You have a job, a city and people you talk to every week. The lessons are built out of those, so you practise the German you are going to need.
A small world to practise in
A colleague, a friend, a neighbour, a waiter. They remember what you told them last time and they talk the same way every time. Say the awkward thing here three times, and the real one is no longer the first time.
Different ways to practise
Talking, listening, reading and writing are four different things. Practise only one of them and you stay stuck in the other three, so each session picks the kind of practice you need next.
Somebody talks back, and remembers what you told them last time.
No text on the screen. A voice, at the speed people actually talk.
One new shape at a time, with the words you would actually use it on.
The ones that are fading come back inside something you are saying.
Someone tells you about their week, then asks you two questions.
The appointment, the complaint, the awkward one. Before the real one.
News, messages and interviews are in there too.
Four skills, not one
You might read German easily and still need a moment to answer out loud. Here you practise all four, and each one moves at its own pace.
