SmarterGerman Review

SmarterGerman Review – A Unique And Challenging Course

SmarterGerman

Rating 4.5

Summary

SmarterGerman is much different than every other language learning resource I’ve tried. Its Everyday German Course is made up of 12 parts that are five lessons a piece, each of which correspond with a chapter from a German crime story. Through these lessons, and lots of exercises, the course will help you reach the B1 level. Unlike most courses where there’s a lot of spoonfeeding of information, this course pushes you to use your critical thinking skills.


Quality 5.0

Michael, the course creator, is an excellent teacher

Thoroughness 4.5

There are abundant exercises to practice every aspect of German.

Value 4.0

Each level is $349 excl. VAT/GST. Up to 40% off with bundles.  Ongoing Live Q&A sessions, completely free of charge.

I Like
  • Michael’s teaching philosophy will not only help you improve your German but also your approach to language learning.
  • The learning cycle will help you practice reading, writing, listening, speaking, vocabulary, and grammar.
  • It’s a challenging course, even if you’ve already studied some German.
I Don’t Like
  • It can be very intimidating as an absolute beginner to German.
  • Students who aren’t very committed to studying German may struggle.
  • It’s not the cheapest program.
Price

The Magnificent German Course Bundle (A1-C1) costs $699+ excl. VAT/GST. Or each level for $349. This comes with Live Q&A sessions with Michael himself. That said, you can also frequently get a discount like 40% off if you purchase multiple levels of the course at once
