"Great method! The best I found. Michael has so many great tips for effective learning. The grammar is explained through short videos, very easy to digest and to make sense. Great way to actually learn all the new vocabulary that comes with the B2 level. I also had to contact Michael a couple of times and he always answered promptly, very nice and gave me great tips, including books to continue on to the C1 level and a tutor I could work with which was amazing. I passed my C1 exam, and I am very grateful for the strong foundation I acquired in this course. I only wish there would have been a C1-level of it! I would have definitely taken it!"

The course starts now and ends with your death or mine or the internet's! It is a completely self-paced online course - you decide when you start and when you finish. It's a course for adults. I believe in you.
If you can understand this page well, you will be fine with the content of the course. If you struggle with English you might be a bit slower than a native English speaker though but you can still work with this course.
Yes, you'll have to buy the whole course but will find that there are many many things that nobody has taught you yet. You'll learn a wonderfully efficient self-learning structure that you can apply outside of this course for the rest of your (learning) days. You'll also learn many smart but simple learning techniques that will benefit you even on higher levels. And you'll be able to fill your B2 gaps without having to start from scratch. You can always skip things that are already clear to you and will also find a growing community of smart and interesting German learners here that you can exchange your thoughts and concerns with.
As long as smarterGerman or the platform that hosts this course or you exist, you'll have access to your materials. I'll do anything to keep my side of the deal for a couple of decades. By then you should have reached level B1 or be dead anyhow ;)
At this point in time no. Compared to our competitors and considering the amount and quality of its content, this course is already extremely reasonably priced. You'll get more out of it than you invest. That's our promise.
While you'll reach level B2 with this course, passing a German B2 exam requires additional preparation which this course can only prepare you for to a certain extent. On this level you'd need extra training with a living being for the oral exam. All other skills should be fine when you have worked through this course yet I strongly recommend that you work through as many sample exams that you can get your hands on. Those are freely available with a simple internet search. Also check Youtube for German B2 oral exam samples.
If you study 3 hours per day with this course you are likely to reach level B2 CEFR within 3 months or less. As learning is a highly individual task it might take a bit more or a bit less time. If you invest less time daily, you will most likely need a bit longer. You'll soon understand that it doesn't really matter how long it takes you to get to some fictive level as long as the quality of your German and your learning experience is high.
Will I be fluent in German after this course?
You can reach a certain B2 fluency. You will also very likely need someone to practice speaking with if speaking is your aim. I’ll provide you with tips on how to find opportunities for speaking throughout the course and in my weekly Q&A sessions.
This course only covers the level B2 CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference) and can easily replace any course in a physical language school. If you lack the basics or feel that your B1 is rather weak, I strongly recommend that you take a look at my A1-B1 German course first. You can preview the intro and first lesson for free and also get a 30 day money back guarantee after purchasing it.
No and you don't need to anyhow. Individual audio and videos will be downloadable but rather for the sake of the teachable iOS app. I do not recommend working with downloads as they'll force you to leave the healthy and helpful learning structure of this course. It would be the same as getting a Lamborghini and pushing it instead of driving it.
No. Such a certificate would be worthless as no one would nor should recognize it as proof of anything. How do I as a future employer e.g. know what quality your German learning was? Was it really you who did the course? How long did it take you to finish the course? All these things would basically be based upon your trustworthiness. Such a certificate would not add anything to this. Officially acknowledged certificates are offered by the Goethe Institut (called Max Mueller in India), any school with a TELC certification or institutions that offer the ÖSD - Austrian language diploma. There is also Bulats but that's very limited as well. If I was an employer and needed to rely on your language skills I'd have a personal chat with you and check your skills in person or even in a trial day at work.
So there will not be a fake certificate in our courses. By the way, the certificates Duolingo offers are also not worth the paper they are printed on for the very same reasons.
