Grammar lessons
Grammar that finally makes sense, with exercises that actually stick.
Curriculum A1 — C1
German from A1 to C1, step by step
A structured path from A1 to C1: core lessons across the 5 CEFR levels plus specializations in professional domains. Each lesson builds precisely on the one before — no skipping, no pointless repetition.
The full curriculum is in development. Level A1 is available now, and A2 is being written right now — new lessons appear on the path as they are ready. B1, B2 and C1 come next.

The 5 CEFR levels
Core lessons across the 5 levels
Each level has its mascot, its CEFR color, and a precise number of incrementally built lessons. You cannot jump straight to B2 without going through A1-B1 — the system guides you in the right order.

How long it takes
How long does it take to go from A1 to C1?
Our estimate: about 520-780 study hours in total from zero to C1. Translated to real life, with Deutsch-Landia and 30 minutes per day:
A1
60-100h
3-4 months
A2
+60-80h
+4-6 months
B1
+100-200h
+12-18 months
B2
+150-200h
+12-18 months
C1
+150-200h
+12-18 months
These durations assume consistent study (4-5 days per week). 10 minutes daily beats one hour only on weekends. Long breaks reduce retention — the spaced repetition system in Deutsch-Landia helps you not lose what you've earned.
Professional specializations — coming soon
German for your job
From level B1 onwards you can go deep on German for your field. Ten professional specializations, each focused on the vocabulary and real situations of that domain. In development now.
Specializations are not available yet. They unlock at level B1, and their lessons are being written as the general curriculum reaches that point.

Questions about the German curriculum
How long does it take to learn German from zero to C1?
Our estimate: about 520-780 hours of study in total to reach C1 from scratch. In human pace: with 30 minutes a day, you handle functional A1 in about 3-4 months, reach B1 in 19-28 months, and C1 in 3.5-5.5 years of consistent study. It's not a race — it's a long-term investment that pays off.
What does a structured A1-C1 curriculum mean at Deutsch-Landia?
A structured curriculum means a clear path from zero to fluency: A1 for beginners, then A2, B1, B2 and C1 — core lessons across the 5 levels, plus specialization lessons in professional domains. Each lesson builds on the previous one: no skipping, no pointless repetition. A1 is ready, A2 is being written now, and B1, B2 and C1 will be added gradually.
How do I know which level to start at?
You take the free placement test (~10 minutes, 24 questions drawn from a 1,002-question bank as you answer, no card). The test gives you an indicative level and tells you where to start: A1, A2, B1 or higher. No guessing, no wasting time on stuff you already know.
Who are the mascots for each CEFR level?
Each level has its guide: Cleo the fox at A1 (gentle, patient, perfect for beginners), Sophie the cat at A2 (curious, gets you into real conversations), Bruno the bear at B1 (serious but warm, tackles complex grammar), Bella the bee at B2 (precise, prepares you for C1), Leo the dog at C1 (loyal and demanding, brings you to fluency). The mascots aren't decoration — they adapt the explanation style to each learner's level.
What are the specialization lessons?
From level B1 onwards you can deepen your German for your professional field. There are ten: medicine, nursing and care, law, engineering, business, construction, IT, hospitality, transport and education. Each specialization is focused on the vocabulary and real situations of that field. These specializations are in development now — the scaffolding is in the platform, the lessons are being written.
Is the curriculum aligned with official exams?
We follow the published CEFR descriptors (Companion Volume 2020) — the same framework Goethe-Zertifikat, telc Deutsch and ÖSD are built on. We are not an examination centre, we issue no certificates, and we do not track the format of any single exam. The content available today covers A1–B2; C1 and C2 are in development.
Can I try the platform before paying?
Yes. The Free Plan includes the full placement test, your first 3 path lessons, 5 grammar lessons, the newest bilingual story of every level, 3 games a day and 50 vocabulary words — no credit card at signup. Enough to see how it works and whether the teaching style suits you.
How long does each level take individually?
Our estimate, cumulative from zero: A1 = 60-100h, A2 = 120-180h, B1 = 220-380h, B2 = 370-580h, C1 = 520-780h. At 30 minutes a day: A1 in 3-4 months, A2 in 4-6 more months, B1 in 12-18 more months, B2 in 12-18 more months, C1 in 12-18 more months — 3.5-5.5 years in total from zero to C1.
