THE WAY WE LEARN
A little structure. A lot of practice.
Every learning day connects understanding with using your German. Explore the four steps.
CLEAR EXPLANATIONS
Start with understanding.
Follow Federica’s video explanations. Pause, replay and give yourself time to notice how German works.
One idea at a time. A clear next step.
Make time for your learning. Plan 90–120 minutes per learning day, six days a week — around 9–12 hours weekly. Live group sessions are additional. Split your practice into shorter sessions when it helps.

LEARNING IS ALSO ABOUT PEOPLE
Bring your questions. And your voice.
Meet Federica and your group in four weekly live sessions. Ask about what you are learning, practise together and make space for the questions that matter to you.
You can begin with a small question. That counts, too.
Federica brings her experience in language teaching, interpreting and intercultural communication to your German journey.
Her approach combines clear explanations, practical activities and encouragement. Your starting-point questionnaire helps her understand your languages, goals and where you need support.
Let’s make German part of your world.
EXPERIENCES OF LEARNING WITH FEDERICA
Clear explanations. Human connection.
Translated excerpts from testimonials about Federica’s previous teaching.
“In 2018, I had the opportunity to meet the excellent teacher Federica Brandenburg and learn German with her. Her teaching method is very clear and easy to understand, and is based on active interaction with her students, which helped me remember the material well. She spared no effort in supporting us and responding to our needs. Through her coaching and passion for the language, she helped me successfully achieve my goal.”
Andrea FerlitaArchitect
“With Federica, everything becomes much easier and more enjoyable. With just a few examples, you are struck by her professionalism and her ability to explain even the most difficult concepts. She is always available to clarify and explore difficult topics in greater depth, and is always ready to be there for her students, even after class has ended. What can I say: the best teacher I have ever known.”
Danilo MontevagoEngineer
“During our lessons, it mattered to Federica not only to teach us the language, but also to understand our way of thinking. I constantly felt as though nothing was more important to our dear teacher than us — her students. She always believed in us and our success and celebrated every step we took, both small and large. That helped us enormously: it supported and inspired us continually and brought us joy. Honestly, that feeling is still with me today.”

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
A few things you may be wondering.
Clear expectations help you make room for learning.
Do I need any German?
No prior German is required. You can also join to rebuild your foundations. Guidance is in English and German is introduced step by step.
How much time should I plan?
Plan 90–120 minutes of self-study per learning day, six days a week — around 9–12 hours weekly. Live group sessions are additional. Split your practice into shorter sessions when it helps.
How do the live sessions work?
Meet Federica on Wednesdays 6, 13, 20 and 27 January 2027, from 18:00 to 19:30 CET (Berlin / Ljubljana). Bring your questions and practise speaking with the group.
When does the next group begin?
The next group starts on Monday, 4 January 2027. Join the interest list to hear when enrolment opens.
How long will I have access?
You will have access to the learning portal through Saturday, 30 January 2027, including that day.
Is this a complete language level or an exam course?
German Journey 1 introduces everyday German and builds foundations for further learning. It does not promise completion of a full CEFR level or an examination certificate.
What happens after I enrol?
Once enrolment is open and your payment is complete, set up or sign in to Teachable with the same email. Begin with the welcome lesson, Your Starting Point questionnaire and course orientation. Lesson release dates will follow the confirmed programme calendar.
What do I need for the course?
A reliable internet connection, a device for your lessons, headphones and a pen. Keep your workbook nearby. For live sessions, have your microphone ready.
