Be Exam Ready.

Simple German Learn is an online German learning platform for English speakers, with planned courses and study materials from CEFR level A1 to B1. Short, structured lessons are followed by interactive exercises with instant feedback, native speaker audio and progress tracking. Simple German Learn is currently in the waitlist stage and will launch in stages, starting with German A1.1.

Yes! German A1.1 is built for absolute beginners and starts from zero: pronunciation, greetings, introducing yourself, numbers and everyday phrases, all explained in English. The planned learning path then continues through A1.2, A2 and B1, so each level builds on the one before.

A1, A2 and B1 are levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), the standard scale for describing language ability. At A1 you can use basic everyday phrases and introduce yourself. At A2 you can handle simple routine situations such as shopping, travel and talking about your background. At B1 you can deal with most everyday situations, talk about work, plans and opinions, and follow clear standard German.

Yes. Simple German Learn courses follow the CEFR levels A1 to B1, the same levels that standardised German language exams are based on. The planned learning path includes realistic mock exams, so you can test yourself at each level before booking an official exam. Simple German Learn is not affiliated with any exam provider and cannot guarantee exam results.

Simple German Learn is a structured course, not a game of repetitive drills. It follows a step-by-step path from A1 to B1, explains German grammar clearly in English, and teaches natural sentence patterns for real-life situations with native speaker audio and cultural context. Practice worksheets and progress tracking help you focus on your weak areas.

Each Simple German Learn lesson is short and focused on one topic. You learn the topic, practise it straight away with interactive exercises, get instant feedback on your answers and track your progress over time. Explanations are in English. The courses will run in your web browser, so you can learn on a laptop, tablet or phone.

German A1.1 will launch first, with A1.2, A2 and B1 courses and study materials planned for later releases. We have not announced release dates yet. Waitlist members get early access before the public launch, along with an exclusive founding-member launch offer.

Enter your email address in the waitlist form on the Simple German Learn home page, then click the link in the confirmation email. Joining is free. Waitlist members get early access, an exclusive founding-member launch offer, free A1.1 resources and launch updates. After confirming, you can answer three optional questions about your German level, your goal and your biggest difficulty.

Joining the waitlist is free, but the full courses will be paid. We are planning paid German courses and study materials from A1 to B1, and waitlist members will receive free A1.1 resources. Pricing and purchasing options will be announced later.

The free A1.1 resources will be emailed to confirmed waitlist members before German A1.1 launches. Only confirmed email addresses receive them, so remember to click the link in your confirmation email. What the A1.1 resources include will be announced in the launch updates.

Yes. The Simple German Learn home page has an interactive exercise and a guided roleplay you can try now without signing up. The roleplay has scripted conversations for A1, A2 and B1, such as ordering in a café, visiting the doctor and a job interview, with audio, translations and feedback.

Simple German Learn sends a confirmation email, a welcome email and launch updates, and nothing else. There is no spam. Every email includes a one-click unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing stops all further emails.
