Optional · after the eight weeks

Three days in Berlin, if you want them.

When the course ends, the cohort meets in Berlin for a long weekend — Friday to Sunday — and spends it using the German you have just spent eight weeks learning. It is the part everyone remembers, and it is entirely your call.

The trip is optional and priced separately — it is not part of your tuition, and your place in the cohort does not depend on it. Exact dates are agreed with the cohort while the course runs.

How it works

Your learning starts here

Five steps from the application form to ordering your own coffee in Berlin.

  1. 1
    Apply to the course

    Apply to the course

    Tell us who you are and why German. It takes a few minutes, and nothing is due at this stage — applying costs you nothing.

    Apply
  2. 2
    Have an interview

    Have an interview

    A short call with us. We make sure the cohort is right for you, and you get to ask anything you'd ask a school you knew nothing about — before you pay.

  3. 3
    Get accepted and choose payment option

    Get accepted and choose payment option

    If it is a fit, your seat is offered and payment locks it in. Cohorts are capped small, so a seat is only held once it is confirmed.

  4. 4
    Eight weeks of live classes

    Eight weeks of live classes

    Two live sessions a week and speaking club with your teacher and the same small group of classmates. You speak from the first session, and every session is recorded for catch-up.

  5. 5
    Berlin together, if you want it

    Berlin together, if you want it

    When the course ends, the cohort can travel to Berlin and use the German you just learned. Entirely optional and priced separately.

What's included

Everything you get with the cohort

Live Group Classes

Twice a week

Live Group Classes

Every Tuesday and Thursday we will have a 90-minute live session with a maximum of 10 students. Structured, teacher-led, and recorded — so you can catch up if life happens.

Native Speaker Sessions

Real German

Native Speaker Sessions

Every two weeks: watch a German talk or short film together, then dissect it live. A native German speaker joins your speaking club class for a live, unscripted conversation.

Speaking Club

Learn together

Speaking Club

Every Friday you can be part of a Speaking Club where you will be able to practise what you have learned during the week or interact with a native speaker.

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
Native speaker
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 the two-hour Friday speaking club. No extra cost, no scheduling chaos.

  • New partner assigned each week
  • 20–30 min video call, you pick the time
  • Cohort matched by level, not timezone
Group clubFridays · 7:00 PM CET

Every Friday · 2 h

  • 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 our method actually works

Spaced, structured repetition

Spaced, structured repetition

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

Wieder und wieder.until it clicks

Speak from day one

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

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

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.

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.

The lowest price we will run

Cohort #1 pays less than any cohort after it. That is what being first is worth — we're not going to dress it up as anything more.

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.
