What is "Daily German?"
“Daily German” is my VIP program for people who want to study on their own terms but with a teacher (that’s me) at their side. You commit to studying daily for four weeks and I help you by providing any assistance you may need and by holding you accountable. As this is very intensive for me, too, I can only offer “Daily German” to three students a month.
Will I get materials?
You will get the materials of the German with Stories Club and I will complement it with personalized voice messages, questions and short texts. We will also do some small talk. I’ll be your teacher and your German friend for four weeks.
How much time do I need to invest?
We all have busy lives but consistency is the most important part of “Daily German”. I suggest that you set aside at least 15 minutes a day to study German. do NOT want to decide spontaneously.
How exactly will you help me?
- I will answer all your questions within 24 hours
- I will correct your written and oral assignments and give you suggestions on how to improve certain vocabulary or grammar.
- I will listen to your opinion on a certain topic and give you my own
- I will create personalized grammar or vocabulary exercises for you if necessary
- I will help you if you feel stuck
- I will hold you accountable by sending you at least a short message every day but we will pay attention that you don’t feel overwhelmed.
How will we keep in touch?
We will use a Google Doc to practice writing and plan your “Daily German” and either WhatsApp or Telegram for quick questions, information exchange and speaking practice via voice chat. There will be no video calls and therefore no issues with time zones or last-minute cancellations.
What level do I need?
The GWS materials are most suited for A2/B1/B2 students. If your current level is A1, I suggest that we work with “Carla will nach Deutschland”, my graded reader for beginners.
Wouldn't I be better off to meet a tutor once a week?
If you prepare for each session and do some serious review work after each lesson, that might indeed be a better choice. But let’s be honest, most of us don’t do this. We hope that the magic will somehow work, but in many cases, it won’t – or much slower than you expected. Or you have a German lesson scheduled and something comes up or you just don’t feel like it. So you cancel or you attend without motivation. But it’s your decision :-). I made mine because I applied for a similar Hungarian program for the first time in September 2024 and love it.
Is it ongoing, like a subscription?
No, it’s not. You commit for 4 weeks. Enrolment is only open for a couple of days at the end of each month and I can only accept 3 students at a time. You’ll be a VIP for me, after all!
