Step 1 (A1)
German pronounces the alphabet differently than English. Schritt(step) 1 covers the most basic parts of German, starting with the alphabet. We will learn the following topics : How to say hello, how to write a sentence, how to ask questions, how to speak informally and with honorifics, how to say hello, how to introduce yourself including names, nationality, occupation, family relationships, and so on.
Grammar-wise it includes changes in the person, negation, articles of association, changes in the rules of the verb, irregular changes in the verbs, adjectives, and pronouns.

Step 2 (A2)
Step 2 still covers the basics. In terms of building a house, you are laying down the last bits of the foundation. You are now starting to meet the true face of the language. If you study this part well, you are already better than most intermediate students.
At this stage, we will learn about places and directions, about plural nouns, articles of association, infinitive, comparative and superlative, modal verbs, past tense and Pluperfect, the gender of nouns, and about conjunctions.

Step 3 (B1-1)
Step 3 is an intermediate course. Just as the teacher changed in the first and second steps, the new teacher Damaris, will be teaching step 3. (When learning a foreign language from a native teacher, it is best to change the teacher from time to time). Damaris deals with important parts that should not be missed in the basic grammar of German, such as adjective changes, zu infinitive, dass sentences, relative pronouns, manual sentences, recursive pronouns, and separators. At this stage, you’ll slowly start to understand what the teacher is saying in German.

Step 4 (B1-2)
If you successfully complete step 4 and all the 80 lessons, you can say that you are at least capable of B1 or higher in grammar. This step could be called a full-fledged intermediate course, but we prefer the term ‘completing the basics’. By successfully completing 80 native German courses, you will learn all the essential parts of German grammar that you need to know.
In this stage, you will learn about Subjunctive 1 and 2, controlling prepositions, controlling verbs, nouns and adjectives of words. And based on what we have learned so far, we will introduce the life situations we encounter in the first step of German life.
