YourGermanTeacher Reviews 221

This course was amazing. I feel like it presented a lot of material in a logical and sequential way that made it easy to understand and absorb. I have tried different programs and this is by far the best.

I have tried other methods of learning and spent more money than I’d of liked to have trying to wrap my head around German grammar.
Johannes and Luzi have put together a program that works. It’s useful to have explanations in English, together with exercises and videos that are clear and uncomplicated.
This course works as a support or as standalone training. I would recommend checking YouTube videos out, so you see if their style of instruction works for you.
I have always enjoyed learning languages but have found German a minefield. I am very pleased to have been recommended YourGermanTeacher.
I won’t come away a fluent speaker but I will have more confidence, a better understanding of structure and way less grey hair.

I took the Learn Your German Teacher A1.1 course, and I honestly just want to say thank you. I really wish I had found it earlier.

What I struggled with most before was that, even though there is a lot of German material on YouTube, it always felt so scattered. I would watch a lesson, then have to search for worksheets somewhere else, then look for listening practice separately. It was overwhelming and made learning much harder than it needed to be.

This course made everything so much easier because it’s all structured in one place. All I had to do was commit and follow the lessons.

Since I had already tried learning German several times before, I was able to complete one chapter a day and finish A1.1 in about 10 days. Even then, there were still so many things that finally made sense because of how clearly they were taught.

If you’re feeling lost, overwhelmed, or you get stressed by too many different resources, I would 110% recommend this course.

Luzi and Johannes have created a product that captures everything you need to learn German. Outstanding Videos, both in presentation style as well as the information presented graphically, that made you feel you were getting one-on-one instruction. The coursebook and workbook are incredibly valuable and if used continuously boosted dramatically the learning from the Videos. I started at A1.1 and just concluded B1.2. I feel I am very prepared to read, write, and converse in any situation I may find myself!

I recently completed the YourGermanTeacher A2.1 lessons, after finishing A1.1 and A1.2. I now will begin A2.2. It has been years since I took German as my language requirement in college, and I found this online package extremely helpful in not only refreshing my memory but also introducing me to things I completely missed in college. The videos and exercises, along with printouts summarizing key concepts, are excellent.

I just finished the B1.1 course and it was excellent. Also, I found the brainscape flashcards to be huge help. I highly recommend YourGermanTeacher. Thanks Luzi and Johannes.

I have completed both A1 courses and recently A2.1 so far. I am attempting to complete a desired goal started in the mid-1980´s with two years of University level German (by correspondence).It was OK and I was moderately successful. Now I am retired I find taking up the challenge of at least being able to read, understand and write German to be completely enjoyable. I could say, repetitively, everything that has been said in all the reviews posted here (my fingers will not allow that), but I heartily agree and completely endorse every word.

Johannes and Luzi have put out a first rate product. I have found their suggestions extremely helpful. Following them has greatly enhanced my learning. I think now, before starting A2.2 I will consider the Flashcard option. I feel compelled to complete B1.2! Thank you Luzi und Johannes!

After studying German many years ago but then letting my speaking skills lapse, I became motivated to reacquaint myself with the language. Fortunately, I found YourGermanTeacher on YouTube. I felt that their videos presented German grammar with great clarity and energy. After watching over three dozen, I purchased their A1 and A2 bundle that came with more in depth video presentations, written instructional material, workbooks and access to vocab flash cards. I continued to be highly impressed. I’ve just finished YGT’s B1.1 course. It also offered the same excellent learning experience as A1 and A2. Additionally, it felt empowering as it exposed me to many more ways of expressing myself in everyday German. Next on my list is YGT’s B1.2 course.

The course does a fantastic job of teaching the German language. The only limitation is that it stops at B1 at this time. Austria is planing to require B2 level later in 2026 but if you have B2 now, you are granted an accelerated citizenship procedure. Other countries might follow suit. So it would be extremely helpful if Luzi and Johannes (the instructors) would release B2 material.

I love love love this course. Johannes and Luzi are excellent teachers and present the material in a very clear, easily digestible, and simple to comprehend way in their videos. They always respond promptly to any questions you have, so it is like having a personal teacher in the classroom. Definitely a must to purchase the flashcard option through Brainscape that is offered with the course; this was actually crucial to getting enough practice with vocabulary and phrases.

This is one of the best online courses for German. I started from A1 up to B1 level. What makes this course special is that it is not a traditional school or university German course. In this course, you will learn practical things for everyday German—something that we all need in daily life. A fantastic course; I highly recommend it.

Thank you very much to both of you. I just finished my B1 course, and I am very grateful for this experience. I am preparing for my exam, which I have not taken yet. I learned many good and useful things in this course. It was really worth it.

I started to learn German when COVID came. After a while of searching for free online youtube tutorials, I found that I kept coming back to these guys for easy and clear explanations, even as I was taking a couple of beginner on-line paid courses. When I saw that YourGermanTeacher actually offered a course, how could I not sign up! I am about to begin B1.2..

YGT's A1.1 and A1.2 courses are incredible! The teaching videos are perfectly clear. The examples are logical, and the special effects to help students understand are perfect. The worksheets are many, but repetition is crucial. The HELP and feedback received if questions are submitted is lightning fast, friendly, and filled with humor.

I highly recommend YGT. It is worth the money. I spent 5 times as much on private lessons for the same content but was often confused. Use these courses to learn and practice writing, grammar, and reading. If you need/want to practice speaking and listening to what you learned through YGT videos, hire a tutor.

I have been nibbling away at their courses over the years, and I am always happy to recommend these guys. The way they explain things, while combining clean simple diagrams (and sometimes funky sounds) is extremely clear and helpful to someone who is not a natural. They are also incredibly responsive to their students, which makes me wonder if they ever get some sleep, or if they are super humans!

The cream of the crop!

I had so many aha moments with these guys. The lessons are amazing and I have just passed my B1 - so very happy. The combination of the video explanations and the workbooks and additional exercises keep you motivated as you work through each level. Thank you Luzi and Johannes

After taking all the courses, i would say that i enjoyed the experience and learned a lot meanwhile.

I've just completed B1.2 after doing A2.1, A2.2 and B1.1. It's an excellent set of courses, very closely integrated together so that all of the content is easy to find, especially for revision. For example, in the B1.2 course occasionally there's a recommendation to review a previous topic and you're given the chapter reference so you can go straight there. Everything links together and supports your progress.

There's is also a wealth of additional content, tips and tricks in the videos, explanations of the different usages in spoken or written German, extra expressions you won't find in a textbook. The worksheets are of course essential and they are really well written very focused on just those things you might get wrong. Not so much just repetition but repetition with thinking. If you get something wrong, you can easily identify what it was.

The recommendation to use the Brainscape app was, for me, really valuable. I used it briefly every day to revise and learn the vocabulary and it made a big difference. I also made grammar summary cards of my own for each lesson of B1.1 and B1.2 which helped me to revise and check up specific points.

All in all, a superb group of courses, unconditionally recommended to everyone.

I have taken all six courses that Johannes and Luzi have provided (A.1.1, A.1.2, A.2.1, A.2.2, B.1.1, and B.1.2). They are excellent all the way through. The graphics are colorful and engaging. The lectures are interesting and often dynamic. The overall plan of the six courses is logical and really solid pedagogy. I found the worksheets and the end-of-chapter quizzes especially helpful to show me how I was misunderstanding or misapplying what I thought I had thoroughly understood from the lectures.

I have now completed the A2.1 and A2.2 courses on yourgermanteacher, following A1.1 and A1.2, and my positive experience has continued and even deepened.

I currently live in Germany, and thanks to these courses, I was able to build a solid and fast understanding of German grammar. The explanations are clear, logical, and very well structured, which made it much easier to internalize even more complex A2 topics. I could immediately apply what I learned in daily life, and this practical relevance made a huge difference.

In my speaking classes, my teachers regularly pointed out that I was able to form better, more accurate, and more natural sentences every week, which I clearly attribute to the strong grammatical foundation provided by these courses.

Just like in A1, the video quality, visuals, additional materials, bonus tips, and everyday-life advice make the A2 courses a truly comprehensive and effective learning experience. Studying at my own pace while still making fast progress has been incredibly motivating.

I have decided to continue with the B1 package, as I am very satisfied with the results so far. I can highly recommend this platform to anyone who wants to learn German in a structured, efficient, and practical way.
