"I started my German course a while ago, and at the beginning it was really tough. Dictation took me more than 20 minutes with lots of mistakes, and I honestly couldn't see the point of the preaching exercises. But now I've reached lesson 23, and things have completely changed. Dictation that once felt endless now takes me only 5 minutes, I'm picking up new vocabulary almost effortlessly, and the sounds are becoming more familiar. I even notice the benefit of the preaching when I use the tools naturally without thinking. My listening has improved a lot, and I finally feel things are starting to click. I'm happy with the progress and looking forward to what's next, inshallah"

"I thought I'd write this as I've just started Chapter 31 of A1 (so 63% of the way through). Until now, each chapter has involved quite a bit of not only trying to guess at words, but often getting them wrong, or not recognising separable verbs when they happen, with their completely new meaning thanks to that prefix, or of trying to decipher what we might call 'filler' words and getting hopelessly confused. While it has slowly got a little easier with each Chapter, I had past the halfway mark of A1 and was wondering if this would really ever significantly improve. Well. I just started Chapter 31, and for the first time, I read and understood the entire text, and wow, what a moment! It was like a fog being lifted, and it really felt so much closer to how I do when I read a book in my native language. When you remember that this text used is by no means A1 level throughout either, but includes some quite advanced vocabulary and grammatical structures, well, I'm overjoyed at the feeling that I have made some real progress, and it means that this Smarter German learning technique obviously does work. Don't give up!"

"I want to share that what I'm most proud of is that I'm not afraid of the language anymore. Before, when I listened to people speaking, even if I knew the words, it felt overwhelming, and my mind just refuses to try, it sounded almost like noise. Now I actually lean in and try to catch words and piece things together. Even if I don't understand everything, my brain is at least working with it instead of shutting down. That feels like a huge confidence boost. I still mess up, forget vocabs, and mix verbs around, but I can see I'm moving in the right direction. For next month, I really want to get quicker at pulling the words out when I need them. Thanks Michael for this opportunity and efforts, u made a real positive change in my life 😊"

"Don't know how to say but that was really fun. At the beginning (around 40 days ago) I found it way VERY challenging that I couldn't finish 3 chapters in a week. Now its becoming more and more fun and I can't miss a day without coming here and learn just for the purpose of learning (0% burden felt). I hope to finish it soon, wish me luck♥️♥️"
