How GoGermany teaches differently
Not a translation app or a grammar drill tool. GoGermany teaches you how German works, why it works that way, and how to use it in situations that matter.
Clear English explanations
Understand the logic before you are expected to use it in German.
English-to-German comparisons
See where German works differently from English in word order, articles, verbs, and sentence structure.
Contextual examples
Learn through situations like housing, appointments, jobs, emails, university, transport, and daily conversations.
Structured practice
Move from recognition to active use with matching, word order, translation, listening, and writing tasks.
Built for exams and real life
Prepare for Goethe and telc-style skills while learning German for work, PR, citizenship, and daily confidence.
A guided path from A1 to B2
A1, A2, B1 and B2 are all live now.
A1 German
Start from zero. Learn introductions, basic questions, numbers, time, articles, simple verbs, shopping, transport, appointments, and short messages.
A2 German
Continue beyond survival German. Learn to explain problems, talk about plans and experiences, write clearer emails, understand notices, and handle more everyday situations.
B1 German
Move beyond everyday basics toward more confident communication for study, work, and life in Germany.
Start B1 →
B2 German
Reach advanced professional and academic German — complex arguments, formal writing, and confident communication at work or university.
Start B2 →

GoGermany was built by Abdullah after 10 years of living, studying, and working in Germany.
After helping international students with admissions, visas, jobs, and life in Germany, he saw the same problem again and again: German learning felt confusing, unstructured, and disconnected from what people actually needed.
GoGermany combines practical Germany experience with expert-supported German course structure, so students and professionals can learn with clarity, context, and purpose.
Why learners choose GoGermany
Duolingo is fun. Language schools are thorough. GoGermany is the middle path — structured and practical, on your schedule.

From the students
Real feedback from international students studying and working in Germany.
“The Bürgeramt vocabulary alone saved me. I finally knew what forms to ask for and could actually understand the responses.”
Aditya K.
Master's student, TU Berlin
“I tried Duolingo for months and still couldn't form a sentence. Two weeks into GoGermany and grammar finally clicked.”
Emma S.
Exchange student from Australia
“Passed my Goethe A1 on the first try. The mock exams at the end of the course are almost identical to the real thing.”
Fatima R.
Au Pair, Munich
Common questions
Do I need an account to start?
You need a free account to access the lessons. Sign up takes under a minute and there is no credit card required.
How long do the courses take?
Each chapter takes 45–65 minutes. A1 (24 chapters) is roughly 18–24 hours of study. A2 (26 chapters) adds another 20–26 hours. B1 (28 chapters) adds another 22–28 hours. B2 (29 chapters) adds another 22–28 hours. Most students complete A1 in 4–8 weeks, then progress through A2, B1 and B2.
Is it really free?
The first 5 chapters of every level (A1, A2, B1, and B2) are completely free — no credit card required. Chapter 6 and beyond require a GoGermany Pro subscription (7 days free, then €4.99/month — cancel anytime) or a one-time Course Pass (€9.99 per level).
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. GoGermany is a web app that works in any browser — Chrome, Safari, Firefox. No app download needed. Audio pronunciation works on iOS Safari and Chrome desktop.
I already know some German — should I start at Chapter 1?
Browse the chapter list and jump in wherever feels right. Each chapter is self-contained enough that you can skip sections you already know.
Which exam does this prepare me for?
A1 ends with mock exams for the Goethe-Institut A1 and telc A1. A2 ends with Goethe A2 and telc A2 mock exams. These are the most common exams required for German visas and residency permits.
