One small piece of German, every day.

How it works

• Something different every day

  Some days you watch a video, some days you read an article, some days you listen to a song. Never the same thing two days running, and all of it from German television, newspapers and YouTube rather than from a textbook.

• Nothing too hard, nothing too easy

  Tell us where you are, anywhere from A1 to C1, and that is what you get. No struggling through a political column you cannot follow, and nothing aimed at children once you are past that. Songs are the one exception: nobody sings at a level.

• Speak it, write it, sing it

  Every task ends with something small to do. After a video, repeat a line out loud and record it, so you can hear how close you got. After an article, write a couple of sentences about it. After a song, sing the chorus.

• Create vocabulary lists

  Come across a word worth keeping? Add it to a list as you go, and a meaning is suggested for you if you would rather not look it up. Change anything you disagree with. Your lists are associated with the video, article or song the words came from.
