20 minutes per day, structured tasks, and clear daily goals. Check off each day as you complete it. Your progress is saved in this browser automatically.
The plan is structured so that you build skills in layers. The first week introduces vocabulary, pronunciation, and basic phrases. The second week adds grammar and sentence structure. The third week brings reading, listening, and writing practice. The fourth week focuses on exam preparation and reviewing your weak areas.
Each day has four tasks: a vocabulary task, a grammar or reading task, a sentence practice task, and a speaking, writing, or listening task. You do not need to complete them in order within the day — fit them into whatever 20-minute window works for you.
Just continue from where you left off. The plan does not require consecutive days — it is a structured curriculum, not a streak challenge. Missing a day does not reset your progress. Simply open the plan, find the last uncompleted day, and continue.
All the tools referenced in the plan are free and available on this website: the Vocabulary Flashcards, the Der/Die/Das Trainer, the Sentence Builder, and the Mock Exam. For listening practice, the plan points you to free external resources such as DW Learn German (Deutsche Welle).
If you have an exam date, work backwards from it. The plan takes 30 days at 20 minutes per day, which equals approximately 10 hours of active practice. For most learners with some prior exposure to German, this focused practice is enough to consolidate A1 knowledge. If you are starting from absolute zero, add extra vocabulary review sessions in the first two weeks.
