„Wie heißen Sie?“
Ich heiße .
Type your name. It stays in your browser.
The first time someone asks, you’ll know what to say. lerne.now teaches German through sentences about your own life, and has you saying them out loud from the first day.
Four ideas behind every lesson
No textbook family, no lists to memorise first. Just the German you need, learned the way it sticks.
One
Start with you
People remember what is about them. So every lesson begins with a sentence about your life, with your name, your city and your work in it.
Ich heiße Mira und ich wohne in Leipzig.
Ich heiße Tomás und ich wohne in Köln.
Ich heiße Aiko und ich wohne in Hamburg.
The same lesson, a different sentence for everyone.
Two
Find the rule inside the sentence
Grammar arrives in a sentence you can already say, so it makes sense the moment you see it. One ending at a time, never a table to learn first.
One verb, three sentences you already know.
Three
Say it out loud, the same day
Reading isn’t speaking. You hear each sentence from a German voice, say it yourself, and the app listens, until it comes out without thinking.
Ich wohne in Leipzig.
Four
A little, every day
A few minutes each day beat an hour on Sunday. Every word comes back just before you would forget it, and less often as it sticks.
