Our Teachers
Learning German
Most people are too busy to attend group classes regularly. Blended Learning in an individual setting will be the future for learning languages. We recommend the following tools:
Audible
For many different reasons, the availability of German books in the US is minimal. But Audible offers a great variety of German audio books. They can be fantastic for practicing your listening skills, and some of them are also available on Kindle. Purchasing both, you could listen and read at the same time. Use the Audible link to start a free trial, get two audiobooks for free, and check out our other Amazon links below for recommendations of specific books and other German material. We like the Ingrid Noll crime stories a lot and enjoy working with them.
YOUTV is a web-based online service where the registered user can access the functionality of a video recorder. Here the concentration lies since November 2009 on German television stations. YOUTV can provide you with access to the complete selection of German television channels. However, for some channels, US restrictions exist. YOUTV is available for Amazon FireTV, NVIDIA SHIELD, Google TV, Apple TV, Roku, Xbox One, Google Cast, Samsung TV, LG TV, Philips TV, iPhone, Ipad, Android.

Duolingo can be a fantastic tool for building vocabulary. We have a few clients that had not done anything but Duolingo for a year, and they had an excellent understanding of German. Duolingo works well if you do it regularly. It is gratifying, giving you sounds, icons, and points. But it also punishes you by redoing a lot of chapters, if you do not use the app often enough. This can become very frustrating. For people, who learn less frequently, Memrise might be the better tool. More About GAMIFICATION
Memrise is less of a game, and that makes it more flexible. It works similar to flashcards and is less rewarding than Duolingo, but it is also not going to punish you. While Duolingo is very good for beginners, Memrise might be the tool you want to move to, when Duolingo becomes too easy. We are working on our JacobiTeacher Memrise courses right now and are planning on publishing them soon.
Grammar and course books
Most language learning material caters to group settings, especially for learning German. But you are not a group. Most books you can find will probably not be very helpful for studying German as an individual. We do not recommend any of the popular Klett and Cornelsen books from Germany.
But we do recommend some books from the McGraw Hill Practise Makes Perfekt German program. It is an excellent tool for learning German as an individual.
Additionally, we recommend a few conversational dialogue books. Follow the links below to get to the correct Amazon listings.
For children and teenagers, we recommend most Hueber material. It makes a start into German fun. We have been using it successfully for years.
