Where should I start? Begin with Exercise 1 and follow the numbered path, or use the daily challenge.
Is the course really free? Yes — all 29 exercises, guides, flashcards, and the certificate are free.

What are the four German cases? Nominativ (subject), Akkusativ (direct object), Dativ (indirect object), and Genitiv (possession).
Why does German word order matter? The verb position changes between main clauses (second position) and subordinate clauses (final position).
What are separable verbs? Verbs with a prefix that splits off and goes to the end of the clause in main sentences, e.g. anfangen → Ich fange an.
When do adjective endings change? Adjective endings change based on case, gender, number, and the article or determiner in front of them.
What is the difference between Perfekt and Präteritum? Perfekt is used in spoken German; Präteritum is more common in writing and for modal/auxiliary verbs.
