Edition 01
Español de México
Greetings, daily routines, transit, work, and the social language of contemporary Mexico.
A1
CEFR level
Start speaking Mexican Spanish from day one: greetings and numbers, ser and estar, the present tense and the verbs that refuse to behave — plus the sentences nobody teaches you, from no entiendo to why you have hunger rather than being hungry.
A2
CEFR level
Move past the present tense: tell stories about the past, make plans and give opinions, and handle the parts of life a phrasebook skips — a flat, a clinic, a market, a classroom, a working day, and what to say at a birthday, a wedding and a funeral in Mexico.
B1
CEFR level
Step past reporting facts: say what you would do, argue a case, and deal with a bank, a clinic, a landlord and a cancelled flight in Mexican Spanish — plus the conversations that actually happen abroad, about where you come from, what you are planning next, and what to do when they hear the accent and switch to English.
B2
CEFR level
Stop reporting and start arguing. B2 is where you hold a position while somebody pushes back: concede a point without giving it up, hedge a claim you cannot fully back, weigh two options against each other and disagree without souring the room - in Mexican Spanish that sounds like a person thinking, not a person translating.
Edition 02
Deutsch
Clear structures for introductions, city life, work, travel, and confident everyday exchange.
A1
CEFR level
Real German from the first lesson: greetings, numbers, and the gender and case patterns that make the rest of the language click — including why bitte does four different jobs, and why you have hunger but the cold happens to you in the dative.
A2
CEFR level
Talk about the past, make plans and give reasons, and handle the parts of life a phrasebook skips — a flat, a doctor, a market, a classroom, a German working day, the Weihnachtsmarkt, and the word-order rules that hold all of it together.
B1
CEFR level
Step past reporting facts: say what you would do with Konjunktiv II, argue a case, and deal with a bank, a doctor, the Bürgeramt and a cancelled flight in German — plus the conversations that actually happen abroad, about where you come from, what you are planning, and what to do when they switch to English.
B2
CEFR level
Stop reporting and start arguing. B2 is where you hold a position while somebody pushes back: concede a point without giving it up, hedge a claim you cannot fully back, weigh two options against each other and disagree without souring the room - in German that sounds like a person thinking, not a person translating.
Edition 03
Français
Sound, rhythm, and practical language for daily encounters across contemporary France.
A1
CEFR level
Your first real French: greeting people properly, numbers and time, gender and the present tense, ordering in a café and finding your way — plus the phrases that rescue a conversation, from je ne comprends pas to why bonjour has to come first.
A2
CEFR level
Tell stories in the past, make plans and give opinions, and handle the parts of life a phrasebook skips: a flat, a doctor, a market, a classroom, a French working day, and everything from la galette des rois to what you bring when you are invited to dinner.
B1
CEFR level
Step past reporting facts: say what you would do, argue a case, and deal with a bank, a doctor, an administration and a cancelled flight in French — plus the conversations that actually happen abroad, about where you come from, what you hope for, and how to repair your own sentence halfway through.
B2
CEFR level
Stop reporting and start arguing. B2 is where you hold a position while somebody pushes back: concede a point without giving it up, hedge a claim you cannot fully back, weigh two options against each other and disagree without souring the room - in French that sounds like a person thinking, not a person translating.
Edition 04
Italiano
Cadence and practical conversation for getting around, meeting people, and taking part in daily life.
A1
CEFR level
Speak Italian from day one: greetings and numbers, articles and the present tense, ordering at the bar and finding your way around — plus the difference between scusi, permesso and mi dispiace, and why prego answers almost everything.
A2
CEFR level
Tell stories in the past, make plans and express opinions, and handle the parts of life a phrasebook skips: a flat, a doctor, a market, a classroom, an Italian working day, and everything from Ferragosto to who pays on their own birthday.
B1
CEFR level
Step past reporting facts: say what you would do, argue a case, and deal with a bank, a doctor, a landlord and a cancelled flight in Italian — plus the conversations that actually happen abroad, about where you come from, what you hope for, and how to keep going when the word is missing.
B2
CEFR level
Stop reporting and start arguing. B2 is where you hold a position while somebody pushes back: concede a point without giving it up, hedge a claim you cannot fully back, weigh two options against each other and disagree without souring the room - in Italian that sounds like a person thinking, not a person translating.
Edition 05
English
Practical American English for introductions, study, work, travel, and neighborhood life.
A1
CEFR level
Practical first English: introducing yourself, numbers and time, ordering food and getting around — plus the things that catch every learner out, from excuse me against sorry to the fact that in English you are hungry rather than have hunger.
A1
CEFR level
Englisch von Anfang an, erklärt auf Deutsch und zugeschnitten auf das, was Deutschsprachigen im Englischen tatsächlich schwerfällt: die beiden th-Laute, das w, das im Deutschen ein v ist, die Auslautverhärtung, die aus bed ein bet macht, und die unbetonten Silben, die im Englischen einfach verschwinden.
A2
CEFR level
Talk about the past, make plans and give opinions, and handle the parts of life a phrasebook skips — an apartment, a doctor, a market, a classroom, an American workday, and Thanksgiving — including the tense distinction that trips up every learner of English.
A2
CEFR level
Die Fortsetzung des A1-Kurses, auf Deutsch erklärt und auf das zugeschnitten, was Deutschsprachigen im Englischen wirklich schwerfällt: die zwei Vergangenheiten, wo das Deutsche nur das Perfekt spricht, das mustn't, das nicht müssen nicht heißt, die Verlaufsform, die es im Deutschen nicht gibt, und die Relativsätze, die im Englischen ohne Komma und oft ganz ohne Pronomen auskommen.
B1
CEFR level
Step past reporting facts: say what you would do, argue a case, and deal with a bank, a doctor, a landlord and a cancelled flight — plus the conversations that actually happen when you live here, about where you come from, what you are planning, and how to hear what a polite 'maybe' is really saying.
B2
CEFR level
Stop reporting and start arguing. B2 is where you hold a position while somebody pushes back: concede a point without giving it up, hedge a claim you cannot fully back, weigh two options against each other and disagree without souring the room - in American English that sounds like a person thinking, not a person translating.
