German from A1 to C1 — a complete path, step by step

Official CEFR guides estimate 700-1000 hours of study 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 18-24 months, and C1 in 4-6 years of consistent study. It's not a race — it's a long-term investment that pays off.

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 arrives first; the other levels are in development and will be added gradually.

You take the free placement test (15 minutes, 1002 adaptive questions, no card). The MST algorithm calibrates your real level and tells you exactly where to start: A1, A2, B1 or higher. No guessing, no wasting time on stuff you already know.

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.

After you reach basic B2-C1, you can deepen your German for your professional field: medicine, IT, law, business, engineering, hospitality, tourism, education, social work, and biology. Each specialization is focused on the vocabulary and real situations of that field. These specializations are in development now.

Yes. The lesson content matches official CEFR formats: Goethe-Zertifikat (A1-C1), telc Deutsch, and ÖSD. We don't strictly follow a single exam, but published CEFR descriptors — so you naturally prepare for any official exam at the same level.

Yes. The Free Plan includes the full placement test, your first 3 path lessons, 5 grammar lessons, the first bilingual story, 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.

CEFR total study estimates: A1 = 60-100h, A2 = 120-160h (cumulative), B1 = 250-400h (cumulative), B2 = 450-600h (cumulative), C1 = 600-800h (cumulative). At 30 min/day: A1 in 3-4 months, A2 in 6-8 additional months, B1 in 12-18 additional months, B2 in 12-18 months, C1 in 12-18 months — total 4-6 years from zero to C1.
