Is the German A1 course really free?

Yes, 100% free. All 10 chapters, 89 lesson pages, and 590+ quiz questions are completely free. No hidden fees, no premium tier, no credit card required. Just create a free GradGermany account and start learning.

Do I need to speak German to study in Germany?

Not for English-taught programmes — there are 2,000+ English-taught Master programmes in Germany. However, even basic A1 German dramatically improves your daily life, helps with bureaucracy (Anmeldung, bank accounts, housing), and opens 80% more job opportunities after graduation.

How long does the A1 course take?

Most students complete the 10 chapters in 4-6 weeks studying 30-60 minutes per day. Each chapter has 8-17 pages of content plus quizzes. You can learn at your own pace — there are no deadlines.

Are there Hindi explanations?

Yes! Every grammar rule, vocabulary item, and cultural tip includes Hindi translations and explanations. The course is specifically designed for Indian and Nepali students, with cultural comparisons that make German concepts easier to understand.

What grammar topics are covered in A1?

The full A1 grammar curriculum: verb conjugation (regular, sein, haben, modal verbs), noun genders (der/die/das), cases (nominative, accusative, dative), separable verbs, Perfekt tense, adjective endings, word order, and sentence connectors (und, aber, weil).

How is this different from Duolingo?

Our course is specifically designed for students going to Germany — every example, dialogue, and cultural tip is about university life, Anmeldung, the Mensa, finding housing, and navigating German bureaucracy. We teach what you actually need, not generic vocabulary. Plus we have 590+ targeted grammar MCQs with detailed explanations.

Can I get a certificate after completing A1?

You can track your progress through the portal dashboard. Note that this course prepares you for A1-level German but is not a replacement for official language certificates (Goethe A1, TestDaF) required by some universities. It is an excellent foundation before taking an official exam.

What level comes after A1?

After A1, the next level is A2 (Elementary), then B1 (Intermediate), and B2 (Upper Intermediate). Most German-taught university programmes require B2 or C1. For A2 and beyond, we recommend Goethe-Institut courses, VHS (Volkshochschule) courses in Germany, or online platforms like Deutsche Welle.
