What my students say ...
I really recommend this course. The lessons are easy to follow and always interesting, even when delving into the more tricky grammatical parts. I could do the lessons at my own pace and keep track of the whole progress, all in an engaging, almost gamified, way.

Before starting with Charlotte, I didn't know any German.
It was a big problem in every aspect of daily life. I liked the course very much.
Today my German is at an intermediate level. When I go shopping I can understand other people and communicate with them.
Olena
Imagine, how it would feel to finally:
Be able to have basic conversations in German and read simple texts or articles in German.
Understand the logic and the structure of the language and to realize that everything is starting to make sense.
To master everyday situations, like introducing yourself, asking for directions, ordering or paying in a restaurant, going shopping, booking a room in a hotel, and much more.
To build strong German foundations, so that you can move towards fluency in higher levels.

The German course was very helpful. Charlotte is a really supportive coach.
Cristina

I have benefited a lot from Charlotte's experience as an expat and her multiculturalism, as she combines a good coaching on the German culture with the empathy and openness that living abroad has provided her with. Also, because she speaks other languages it becomes easier to make ethymological connections or inmediate translations. I would recommend Charlotte's lessons without a doubt because she is a sensational, dedicated, professional teacher!
Marius

Very good trainer. Very well prepared lessons. 😊
Caroline

Charlotte's lessons are for me an entry to German language, culture and people. Besides the language I learned about the culture, the habits, the way people do things. And this understanding of Germans and their culture and maybe even heritage gives great insights and is important to me.
Hallo, Grüß Gott und Guten Tag
My name is Charlotte, I'm a native German speaker, born and raised in Germany. I have been formally teaching German for more than 9 years and am a certified teacher of German as a foreign language.
I help English speakers build fluency and confidence to speak German through support, feedback, and accountability.
My primary focus is on empowering German learners to speak clearly and sound natural so they can easily have conversations in German.
With a non-judgmental approach, simple lessons using authentic language, and clear action steps, I give German learners the specific tools they need to fearlessly become fluent German speakers.
Having lived in Italy and Great Britain with my family for 5 years, I experienced the ups and downs that living abroad will bring. When we moved to Italy. I still didn't speak Italian - so I know how hard it is, if you can neither understand the people around you nor make yourself understood.
But I also know how rewarding it is to finally master the language, make local friends and know how everyday life "is working".
This is why my lessons and courses are designed to help you learn exactly the vocabulary you'll need when you're new in Germany and also to give you much additional information to find your way around in Germany as quickly as possible.
Plus You'll be Backed by a Risk-Free 14-Day Guarantee
I want all my students to be happy and satisfied!
So here's why you can place your confidence in a money-back guarantee and set any enrollment nerves aside.
By the end of the 14 days, you'll have received access to the first two modules of the German Mastercourse for Beginners.
If you don't feel totally confident and motivated by your progress (and your ability to build the foundation to become a fluent German speaker), simply reach out, show that you've put in the work and I'll refund your investment.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are the lessons of this course "live"?
No, this course is not live. All the videos have already been recorded so that you can watch them whenever you like.
That's a big advantage of this course, as you can organize your learning according to your own schedule. You won't have to attend any class or "be on time". You will be free to schedule your learning by yourself. Also, you don't have to wait for the teacher to get to the point, and you certainly don't have to wait for an annoying classmate to stop demanding the teacher's attention.
You have 12 weeks of access to the course community where you can ask questions and clarify doubts.
Can I study at my own pace?
Yes. You have lifetime access to the course content. This course will be yours FOREVER! You can watch the videos and use the materials as many times as you like. If you should "get behind", don't worry - come back to the lessons when you have time!
Will I get immediate access to all modules and lessons?
Once the course starts you'll get access to a new module every week so that you have enough time to dive into the lessons and test your learning before moving on to the next.
When does the course start and end?
The course runs for 10 weeks
Will Charlotte be available to answer my questions and doubts?
Yes! German for Beginners provides a high-touch learning experience where ALL your questions get answered by Charlotte so that you can overcome any hurdles and smoothly advance your German with confidence.
What level will I be after I finish this course?
If you consume all the videos and complete all the exercises you can expect to be ready for A2 level (advanced beginner). Try to apply what we cover in the videos as much as possible since this will help you learn better and faster. For example, try to be active in the Course Community and text in German, or try to watch many movies or TV series in German with subtitles.
I don't live in a German-speaking country, can I take this course?
Yes! You can take this course if you don't live in an English-speaking country or if English is not your first language. but please take note: In this course, my teaching method focuses specifically on challenges English speakers may have when learning German. So if you're comfortable with English (regardless of your first language, this course will be a good fit.
I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed ... are you sure I can do this?
I know you can do this! I have helped many students successfully learn German, regardless of their age or previous language.
YES, it will probably get a little uncomfortable at times.
But as long as you are willing to invest a few hours every week and reach out for help every time you get stuck, you can absolutely do this.
You've probably recognized by now that no language can be learned without a significant amount of effort.
If you're reading this, I'm sure you actually want to put in the effort and feel like you've earned the life-changing outcomes that speaking a new language can provide.
My big promise is that you'll never waste your time or energy and you'll always feel like EVERYTHING you are doing is bringing you one step closer to being a fluent and confident German speaker and all the rewards and fulfillment it provides.
How much time should I dedicate to studying?
This course is 10 weeks, but you can take as much time as you need since you have lifetime access to the 10 learning modules. Allow yourself 4-5 hours per week to watch the pre-recorded video lessons, complete the exercises, and interact with Charlotte and the other students in the private community.
Why should I start this journey with you?
I have been teaching German for the past 6 years. Especially in small groups or 1-to-1 lessons, I was able to see exactly where students are typically struggling. I found methods and created material specifically designed to overcome - or, even better, to avoid - these problems.
I am also very-well known in the community, as I have a social media profile with more than 200.000 students.
I teach because I have a strong passion for languages, especially the German language, and I love seeing the progress my students make. It always feels like a wonderful miracle to me, if a student doesn't speak any German when starting my course - and a few months later I am talking to them in a normal, conversational way, all in German.
I also love presenting complicated things in a way that makes them look easy and doable, and seeing how students have their aha moments about things that seemed really confusing in traditional textbooks.
Can I buy this course as a gift?
Yes, absolutely! That's a lovely idea!
There are two options:
1) Buy the course yourself and then give the credentials to the receiver of the gift.
2) You buy the course yourself and then send me an email at info@charlingua.de with the subject line "GIFT", with the name and email of the gift recipient. I will then set up an account for that person already containing the course.
What if I'm not happy with this course?
You're backed by a risk-free 14-day guarantee. By the end of the 14 days, you will have access to the welcome module as well as the first two modules, with videos, materials, and quizzes to test your learning. If by the end of the 14 days, you feel like this course is not a good fit for you, simply reach out, show that you have done the work and you'll get the refund.
I have another question not listed here. What should I do?

You should give German for Beginners a 14-day risk-free shot if you're
motivated by any of the following:
01.
You don't want to waste more time on any popular app without understanding the basic concepts of the German language.
Yes, apps can be a great start into learning a new languge and they will teach you some useful phrases and possibly lots and lots of new words. But you know that you need a clear plan to learn German "for real".
02.
You're not afraid of putting in the work.
By now, you fully understand that when it comes to learning languages, the barriers to entry are low - but the barriers to becoming proficient are high. This doesn't scare you.
03.
You recognize there is no "perfect time" and waiting is not the answer.
You are aware that it's "one day or Day One" and only you can decide.
For what it's worth, if there ever was a "right time", it would be now.
This is your chance to join German for Beginners,
friend. So what's it gonna be?
