Does this really work?

I found Michael's method and training methodology extremely logical and intuitive. His humor was the cream on top of the delicous cake that my German learning turned into.

It quickly becomes tangible that Michael has over 20 years experience in language teaching which he summons for your benefit. I can only highly recommend working with sG.

Sai Kiran

So after telling myself for years that I could never, ever get to B1 standard, I got 84.5% on the exam!!! Michael has changed my way of learning languages for life.

I now have a system in which I can continue to learn German, not as a rush to the next exam, but as a life long learning process which I enjoy. Who would have thought that was possible?!

Tammy Furey

I've been learning German on and off for a couple of years now and I always called quits out of frustration. I am very much pleased with the efficiency of my learning, all thanks to Michael's quick pointers and well-structured learning approach.

Working with smarterGerman got me to open up and start talking, long before I would consider that I can form sentences correctly.

Michael Schmitz (Your instructor and Course Creator)

I had been teaching German in several language schools and countries for over 13 years before I got frustated with the current system of teaching German. I never really questioned the system that is still used worldwide by renowned insitutions like the Goethe Institute or Berlitz and Inlingua. But once I stepped out of the system I could see clearly what went and still goes wrong and set out to fix it. This course is jut the next step in the evolution of a new era of learning languages starting with German.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this course to prepare my A1, A2 or my B2 exam as well?

This course was created to help you with your B1 TELC & Goethe exam. While the principles and advice given in this course might be applicable to other levels, I won't promise nor claim this. Purchase this course only if you are aiming passing a German B1 TELC or Goethe exam.

Is there live tutoring involved in this course?

Clearly no. To prepare for your oral exam I advise that you book a private tutor that focusses on the oral B1 exam and practices it with you. This course helps you to save valuable time and money by preparing you thoroughly for your exam. But it can't make you speak nor give you live feedback on your speaking skills.

My English is not so good. Will this course work for me?

You can check the intro and the first lesson of my Everyday German Course for free to see whether you understand me well. If so, you will be fine with the content of this course as well. If you struggle with English you might be a bit slower than a native English speaker though but you might still be able to work with this course. You'll also have a 30-day money back guarantee in case you don't understand anything or dislike the course.

How long do I have access to the course?

As long as smarterGerman and the platform that hosts this course exist, you'll have access to your materials. We'll do anything to make this a couple of decades. By then you should hopefully be "done" with your German learning.

Can I download the materials?

You will be able to download the videos one by one but honestly I don't think you should nor do you need to. Having everything in one place and neatly structured is so much more efficient too.

This course is the essence of over 18 years of teaching German and learning several languages with over several thousand students and over 10000 hours of expertise. We are certain that you will find it an enjoyable and highly rewarding way of learning German and we will assist you wherever we can.
