What do students say about learning German with us?

 

                 Speech bubble with a testimonial from Jennier: "The course definitely exceeded my expectations! I had tried both Goethe and Duolingo previously, and neither connected with the learning nor made nearly the progress that I did in the Seattle Speaks German, Beginner Level 1 course.”                    Speech bubble with a testimonial from Clint: "Beginner 5 really boosted my confidence in speaking and writing German. Some of what I learned as a teen even came back. I appreciated the open, low-stress vibe.”
