OnlineGermanA1Course:BeginnerLevel

The online A1 course at Phonem is divided into two sections: A1.1 (weeks 1–6) and A1.2 (weeks 7–12). Together they form the complete beginner level A1 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), with live structured teaching and an experienced teacher from Hannover.

In A1.1, you'll lay the linguistic foundation: pronunciation, numbers, colors, introducing yourself, greeting someone, and mastering simple daily situations in German. The lessons guide you step by step from zero to basic A1.1 communication. You'll use German from the very beginning, with direct feedback in every unit.

A1.2 deepens and expands: You'll learn to talk about habits and preferences, read and write simple texts, go shopping, and move confidently in familiar situations. By the end of A1.2, you'll communicate at CEFR A1 level, the result of twelve weeks of structured online German learning.

At A1 level according to CEFR, you can understand and use familiar words and basic sentences, communicate in a simple way, and read and write short texts. This is the basis for every further step: A2, B1, and beyond, continuing online or on-site in Hannover.

What sets the Phonem online course apart from apps and video courses: you'll learn live, in a small group of 4–8 people, with a teacher who answers your questions, corrects errors immediately, and adapts the pace to the group. Real teaching that's flexible on timing, independent of location, and without the commute.

Those who attend at least 70% of the live teaching units will receive a Phonem certificate of attendance as a digital PDF. It documents your online participation and the A1 level according to CEFR. The teaching follows the Common European Framework of Reference, a globally used standard. This way, you'll improve your German step by step and build a solid foundation for official German exams.
