Grammar
Every noun has a gender, and you learn it with the noun
der, die, das is not a rule you can derive. It is part of the word, and the fix is how you store it.
A1
8 min
The accusative, and why the article changes
Der becomes den when the noun is the object. That one change is most of A2 grammar.
A2
10 min
Where the verb goes, and why it moves
Position two for the main verb, the end for the rest. German word order is strict, which makes it learnable.
A2
9 min
The perfect tense is how German talks about the past
Spoken German prefers the perfect. Two auxiliaries, one participle rule, a list of irregulars.
B1
10 min
Adjective endings, finally made systematic
Three tables that most learners avoid. One question decides which one you need.
B2

Reading
A1 reading is signs, adverts and short messages
You are not reading for meaning at this level. You are matching a need to a notice.
A1
7 min
B1 reading: long sentences, and how to take them apart
A German sentence keeps its verb for the end. Read to the full stop before you decide what it said.
B1
9 min

Writing
The short message the A2 exam always asks for
Three bullet points, about forty words, a greeting and a sign-off. The marks are in doing all three points.
A2
9 min
B2 writing: the argued opinion the exam wants
A position, two supported arguments, one acknowledged counter-argument, and a close. In German connectors.
B2
10 min
The same letter at A2 and at B1
Two answers to one task, both ours, with the differences named — because "write better German" is not feedback.
