Why start with Nicos Weg

German grammar is easier to absorb when it appears in situations. Nicos Weg follows a young man who moves to Germany, and its 18 A1 chapters cover introductions, work, housing, appointments, food, and health, with exercises after every episode. It provides the listening practice and progression that reference guides cannot.

When to open each guide

Use the verbs guide when separable verbs or the Perfekt start to appear in the lessons, and the vocabulary guide to review articles by case. The connectors guide becomes essential once you write sentences with weil, dass, or deshalb, since each changes the position of the verb. The adverbs guide, with TeKaMoLo word order and modal particles such as doch and mal, pays off at a slightly later stage.
