Take your German to the next level
by joining the GWS Club
"Learning another language is not only learning different words for the same things, but learning another way to think about things."
Being a language learner myself, I’ve experimented with all kind of things, from traditional textbooks to expensive video courses. From studying on my own to learning 1:1 with a teacher. I ended up liking membership sites with different kinds of content and find them most useful and best value for money because new content is added regularly and there are normally various membership options I can choose from and switch between, depending on how much time I want to spend on language learning in a certain month. Well, this is exactly what the German with Stories Club is like and I’m looking forward to welcoming you to my Patreon member area.
German with Stories Club - What's inside?
The German with Stories club is suitable for advanced beginners and intermediate students of German.
Podcast
As a paying member, you get access to podcast transcripts and worksheets. Every Monday, there's something new waiting for you in the podcast section and you can ask grammar and vocabulary questions in the comments.
Audio Recordings
Listening is essential to improve your language skills. Therefore, all my graded readers are also available as audio files and provided totally free of charge to all free and paying members of the GWS Club. You can download them immediately after joing.
Magazine
As a paying member, you get access to Magazine articles and audio files with information about the history, culture and geography of the German-speaking countries, written in simple language that you will understand.
Zoom Meeting
Once a month, there's a Zoom meeting where I will answer questions and you can make suggestions about new content you would like to see in the GWS Club. The meeting is recorded, so you can watch it later on if you can't make it live.
Short Stories
Writing short stories is my passion. Paying members receive two short stories every month that are accompanied by audio files, grammar and vocabulary exercises and are full of natural dialogues and everyday language.
Community
You will learn a language faster and better when you communicate with others. If you decide to become a PREMIUM member, you will get access to an exclusive Telegram group where you can practice speaking and writing.
IMPORTANT:
Since May 2024, the audio recordings of all graded readers can be downloaded as single mp3 or as zip files from my GoogleDrive. The link is provided to both free and paying members of my Patreon membership.
Frequently Asked Questions
I recommend that you know some basics and have at least an A1.1 level so that you find enough resources suited for your level.
It’s your choice. You get a discount when you sign up for a yearly subscription but can also choose a recurrent monthly subscription.
You don’t have to cancel but can simply downgrade your membership to a FREE plan and come back to any of the paid plans whenever you want.
Absolutely. New content is added regularly and I’ve updated some of the older material. Plus, you’ll be part of a community and can practice speaking and writing. Becoming a member is a great choice if you intend to study German regularly. If you have little time, it might be better for you to continue purchasing single products and courses.
The Zoom meeting takes place every 2nd Saturday at 6 pm Germany time. It will be recorded and you can submit questions before.
