Why Is There a Quick Start Section?

Are you just starting to learn German and only want to say the most basic sentences? You're in the right place!

1️⃣ "Broken" German — Many people start this way

Many people teach themselves German in a "broken German" style — without learning complicated grammar, just being able to use the most basic sentences in everyday life.

And that's perfectly reasonable! When you first arrive in Germany, you need to:

Greet other people
Introduce yourself
Ask for directions, go shopping, order food
Understand numbers and prices

ℹ️ Did you know?

With about 100 basic sentences, you can already handle most everyday communication situations in Germany!

2️⃣ What does this section help you with?

The Quick Start section is designed so you can grasp as quickly as possible the sentences and words you need to survive in Germany — without learning complicated grammar right from the start.

Section	Content
Speak Right Away	Ready-made communication sentences — learn them and use them right away
Minimal Grammar	Only the most essential rules for putting sentences together
Essential Vocabulary	~200 of the most important words for life in Germany

3️⃣ Your goals after this section

After completing Quick Start, you will:

Be able to say ~100 basic sentences in common situations
Know how to greet, introduce yourself, ask for directions, go shopping, order food
Understand numbers, prices, and time
Have the minimal grammar to put together simple sentences on your own
Have a solid foundation to step into level A1

⚠️ Important note

This section does not replace systematic study at level A1. It is a starting step to give you motivation and confidence before studying more deeply.

4️⃣ The most effective way to learn

You should combine Quick Start with learning A1 vocabulary in parallel:

Each day, learn 5–10 new words from the A1 Vocabulary section
Practice saying the example sentences out loud — reading aloud = remembering longer
Don't be afraid of making mistakes — making a mistake and then correcting it is the most natural way to learn!
