Start Thinking in German

Modern language teaching has long acknowledged that communication is more important than perfection. And yet, we do want to get things right. Many students are nervous about making mistakes and feeling stupid when they speak German. This course is here to help.

"It's one of the best German courses I've taken. The lecturer displayed so many common mistakes that beginner like me would encounter everyday. It's like someone's shedding the light for me not to fall into the trap. Frankly speaking, I enjoyed the course content and the lecture style very much. Thank you Ingo." - Mai Ling Fang
