The promise

By Christmas 2026, you'll order coffee in Berlin without rehearsing it first.

Eight weeks of live cohort classes, peer practice between sessions, and real conversations with native Germans. Here's what that gets you.

Hold a five-minute conversation

Introduce yourself, order food, ask for directions, talk about your day — without rehearsing it first.

Read German menus, signs and headlines

Decode everyday German in the wild. You stop avoiding the German parts of the internet.

Understand short emails and messages

Reply to a landlord, a colleague, a new German friend — with grammar that actually works.

What's included

Everything you get with the cohort

Live Group Classes

Twice a week with a real teacher.

Two 60-minute live sessions per week with a maximum of 8 students. Structured, teacher-led, and recorded — so you can catch up if life happens.

Max 8 studentsRecorded replaysTeacher-led

Native Speaker Sessions

Real German, not textbook German.

Bi-weekly: watch a German talk or short film together, then dissect it live. Twice per cohort: a native German speaker joins your class for a live, unscripted conversation.

Peer Practice

Learn with, not just from.

Every week you're matched with a cohort peer for a 20-minute video call. There's also a weekly open group call — casual, no agenda, everyone welcome.

Native speaker sessions

Real German, from real Germans

Textbook German only gets you so far. Every cohort includes two formats of native speaker exposure — watching authentic speech and actually having live conversations with Germans.

"Warum ich Deutsch lerne"

TED × Wien 2023 · 12 min

Format 1 · Bi-weekly

Watch & Discuss

Every two weeks your cohort watches a short native German video together — then dissects it live with your teacher.

  • Curated German talks, interviews & short films
  • Real accents, real speed — no textbook German
  • Live discussion with your cohort right after

Format 2 · Twice per cohort

Live Guest Session

Twice per cohort a native German speaker joins your live class. A real conversation — not a scripted exercise, a genuine human exchange.

  • Native speakers join your live session
  • Have a real conversation with a stranger in German
  • Different guests each cohort — varied backgrounds

Community practice

Practice with real people — your cohort

Between live sessions you practice with your classmates — through a weekly assigned partner and an open group conversation club. No extra cost, no scheduling chaos.

Weekly Practice Partner

Each Monday you get matched with a cohort peer. One short video call — you both practise speaking, correct each other, and build confidence together.

  • New partner assigned each week

Group Conversation Club

Every week there's an open group call anyone in the cohort can join. No fixed agenda — just German, conversation, and good vibes.

  • Weekly optional group call — always open
  • Casual, low-pressure conversation
  • Full cohort welcome — 2 to 10 people

Who you'll learn with

Two real humans. No faceless ops team behind them.

For the founding cohort, this is who you're actually trusting with your eight weeks.

Pavel García

Co-founder

Pavel García

I built Tuelang because every German class I'd taken treated me like a textbook, not a person. I'm running the founding cohort personally — answering your application, joining your live sessions, checking in twice during the eight weeks. If something isn't working for you, you'll be talking to the person who can change it.

I want you to remember this cohort.

TODO(pavel): 2–3 paragraphs. Where they trained, where they're from, how many years they've taught German, what their classes actually feel like. Voice should sound like them, not marketing.

TODO: one short line in their voice.

Our approach

Why this method actually works

Most people fail at language learning not because they're not smart — but because the method was wrong. Here's what we do differently.

Speak from day one

No passive memorisation. From your very first session, you're talking. Stumbling is part of it — that's how the brain locks things in.

Ich heiße…your first sentence

Real feedback, not algorithms

A real teacher listens to how you sound and corrects what actually matters — something no app can replicate.

Gut, aber…the correction that sticks

Vocabulary that fits your life

You won't memorise the horse drinks milk. You'll learn to order coffee, navigate Berlin, and talk about your job.

Einen Kaffee, bitte.actually useful

Spaced, structured repetition

Every week builds on the last. Concepts return in new contexts so they move from short-term memory to real fluency.

Cohort #1 · transparency

This is our first cohort. Here's what that means for you.

We don't have alumni yet. We don't have testimonials. We're not going to pretend otherwise. We do have a smaller-than-normal price, a smaller-than-normal cohort, and the founder in every session.

Founding price, locked for life

Early founder pricing — and any future cohort you join with us maintains this rate. Forever.

Direct line to the founder

I personally read every application, run the intro call, and check in twice during your eight weeks. If something is off, you tell me.

You shape what comes next

The cohort after yours will be better because you were in this one. We share what we learn from you with the next group.

Founding cohort pricing

399. Locked in for life.

Cohort 2 onward is at standard price. If you join us now, every future cohort you ever take with us is also at founding rate — forever.

How applications work

This isn't open enrollment.

We're capping this cohort at a small number of seats. We may decline applications that aren't the right fit — for your sake, not just ours.

01

Apply

Five minutes, four questions. Tell us who you are and why now — that's it.

02

15-minute intro call

We talk, you ask anything, we both decide if this is the right fit. No pitch deck — a real conversation.

03

Decision within 48 hours

A clear yes or no from us after the call. If yes, you choose pay-in-full or installments and you're in.

Applications close when seats fill or the deadline passes — whichever comes first.
