A quick question: Do you have many saved videos and German books ? But you still lack confidence and those special "lightbulb moments"?
If there was a way to make your talks flow better and feel more independent, and you could do this without diving into textbooks…
… would you invest in a proven method over the next 10 weeks? A method that breaks you free from uncertainty once and for all?
Hi, I am Jennifer, your real-life Duolingo Owl
A German Teacher in Spain
Read more ...
In 2019, after 7 years of teaching, some degrees, and training, I decided to move from Germany to Spain. I moved to continue teaching German.
Lost for words
Read more ...
Teaching was hectic, Spanish courses were freaking boring and for real conversations I had to rely on people's translation skills. I felt like a child just learning to speak.
Decoding: Failed
Read more ...
I had no time, textbooks were extremely boring, and so I felt kind of like trapped in an unsolved escape room.
Been through it

While I'm still having much to learn, I receive compliments for my progress and feel prepared for engaging in the next real conversation.
Missing piece
Read more ...
There are numerous German learning resources available, but they tend to either be entertaining or dull, often lacking context and structure. Like a list of lessons without tying it all together into a bigger picture.
I'm here for a change
Read more ...
After twelve years and, 1102 students, I am here to change that. Just like the real-life Duolingo Owl, I am here to support you in your journey of learning German authentically. I have distilled my method into an easily accessible online program, and I am thrilled to introduce it to you. There is a way to learn with enjoyment AND system.
Thanks to this 10-week program, chatting away in German is soon achievable
Once you've got the perfect combo of skills for you, you'll be unstoppable! Your talks will be on point, and you'll be ready to face anything in your conversations.
- "Wow, do you understand this?" You're getting compliments for how well you're doing, and suddenly, you don't want to run away anymore when someone speaks to you in German
- In the next coffee round with friends, partner or in-laws, you respond to a question and happily realize that this time you could say what you think without feeling like a child that is just learning to speak
- At the restaurant, you're not just ordering; you're happily surprised to answer in German when they ask about your trip
- Your German decoding process is going great, and you're excited to keep going. Knowing that you just need this one program so that you have more time for life and Me-Time.
You will probably look back on this moment when …
… you suddenly realize that one can understand you in German and there is no need to be nervous
"I am glad that people actually understand me in German"

But now your reality still looks different, doesn't it?
If you're like many of my students, you might be stuck in the pre intermediate plateau. It’s like a tricky game. Like one of those puzzle rooms.
- You want to converse in German. But after one sentence, you switch back to English, hoping to escape the situation that way.
- You're trying to crack the grammar code. You're finding hidden stuff on the walls: articles, cases, and prepositions. They're like secret doors, needing the right keys.
- But when you talk, your brain goes blank, like in a nervous game. You're searching for the right words, like keys for doors.
- Like missing a strategy to stick to while solving a puzzle, it's the same with your German.
- The good news is: Figuring it out is like winning the game – a big deal that makes the whole learning journey kinda fun!
If your strategy is just Instagram and flipping through books, you have no strategy
Maybe you'll learn a thing with the 'more is better' approach. But hey, you don't have the time and energy to stay busy with apps or bore yourself to death with textbooks. You might end up more confused than before.
Most language learning platforms focus on teaching you new words and grammar. And while they are important, there is one fundamental missing piece. When you're struggling to use the structures you already know. Learning MORE isn't the answer.
You need context, a clear path to follow, individual feedback, and real-life examples! Once you activate your existing knowledge and use it in context with personal feedback, you'll feel this warm feeling that everything is starting to make sense.
“That was always my sticking point that I can do quizzes and grammar tests as it mostly follows a logic pattern. But when it comes to using what I have learned for conversations and someone interrupts me, my brain goes blank. And that’s what inGerman Decoded helped me with! Through the individual feedback, I knew I was on the right path and people actually understand me.“

What you specifically need to make your talks flow better in German:
An exciting story with real life German. (And no, that doesn't mean the next fantasy novel!)
These little nuggets called stories bring life to the dullest of topics. That way, you don't let your routine slip because you want to know what happens in the next chapter.
As much grammar as necessary and as little as possible (And no, you don't have to become the next linguist who throws around fancy terms just for the sake of it)
It's all about building those sentence structures and finding the right words to express yourself. But let's get real, you don't need to know all the fancy theory jargon to make it work. It's like using tools from a toolbox - you don't need to memorize every tool's name or material, you just need to know how to use them and what they're good for. So, go ahead, grab that toolbox and build those killer sentences!
The option to select words that you really use (And no, this does not mean stubbornly memorizing lists of words)
What you really need is a treasure trove of killer words that you'll use time and time again in your daily routine, like in stories, podcasts, and quizzes. It's like having a secret tool belt of words to choose from that perfectly fits your style.
Speaking situations that are tailored to the story and what you have learned so far. (And no, this does not mean the boring dialogues from school lessons that are far removed from reality)
Let's be real, if you want to actually use a language in the wild, relying solely on passive learning won't cut the mustard. However, there is a solution. By following simple guidelines in a comfortable, low-pressure setting, you can flex your language muscles and feel more confident for those real-life convos.
Personalized feedback that highlights your strengths and next steps (and no, this doesn't mean the generic you did well and we worked on your pronunciation today)
Personalized feedback can be a great motivator, as it highlights your strengths and provides a clear roadmap for improvement.
A flexible study plan and routine that is tailored to your busy life (No need for perfect study times or elite methods)
Using proven learning methods that finally feel like you, you'll go through the 4-Step-Loop-System, breaking through the pre-intermediate plateau chatting away in German.
No need to become a language nerd (unless you’d love to), we keep it real and practical. That way you have time to relax while impressing old and new friends, people at work and family with your new German skills.
That's exactly what you do in "inGErman Decoded"
(pre-intermediate/CEFR A2) ->
(intermediate plus /CEFR B1-B2)
When Dr. Stephen Krashen, an American linguist, polyglot and didactician, tells us that we learn foreign languages by using the language AND through comprehensible input that is slightly above our current language level …
... then there really is no excuse to hide behind traditional grammar courses or one-sided apps.
By the way, one thing is striking about Polyglot Krashen's language skills:
He speaks at least 5 languages fluently. Including German.
He has achieved these skills by working with input such as stories and using the languages directly. Even before he mastered the grammar perfectly. Pure strategy!
Just like in our 4-Step-Loop-System.
If that's not a coincidence …

"I became convinced of the importance of focussing on what we want to express rather than on avoiding mistakes"
William, Canada
Problem: Before the inGerman Academy, William wasn't sure if others understood him and sometimes wondered if his sentences needed to be error-free to be understood.
Solution: William discovered inGerman Decoded (formerly “inGerman Academy”) and invested directly so that he could save himself time and no longer have to find out by trial and error without feedback what really works to be understood in German.
Result: The course content convinced William how important it is to speak in German even before you are absolutely flawless and that fluency is more important than accuracy, because it often blocks you.
Nevertheless, he was able to complete all the tasks accurately, although some seemed a little difficult. By confidently submitting his language as audio for feedback, he has created a chain of successes that will soon motivate him to be understood in German completely freely and without fear of making mistakes.

… unlock your inner German spirit and share your unique stories and opinions in the language of Goethe! Connect with other peeps in German and let your true personality shine through. It's time to show the world what you're made of also in German!
… master the art of casual conversations with ease! When you're feeling like a natural and independent speaker, you're all set to tackle any chit-chat situation that comes your way.
… break free from those pesky translation apps and fancy AI!
You don't need Wi-Fi or a phone to connect with others. Be the master of communication and leave those gadgets behind in your pocket (You are smarter! You can use AI to level up your skills, but eventually, you'll go beyond and master those skills all on your own.

Bonus Lesson
Pass the Goethe Zertifikat B1
Value: €47
In my opinion, it is not sustainable to study directly and only for official exams, as these are very static and only test specific skills, which can often be a little unrealistic.
Especially if you really want to use Deutsch in real life. Nevertheless, it can be helpful if you know the structure of the exam in case you want to take an official exam.
The course contains all the content you need for the exam, and in this module I explain how the exam is structured and which pitfalls you should avoid.

If you put in the work and proceed consistently, you can expect to reach an intermediate level (B1-B2).

If you dedicate around 1 hour every day or 1.5 hours every second day, you will be able to create a new routine very soon. You should at least have 3–4 hours per week to for making significant progress.

Do you have a refund policy?
Yes. If you are not satisfied with the course, I offer you a 7-day-money-back guarantee. That means you have the right to obtain a full refund within the first 7 days after course start. You have to prove that you have done the work of week 1. Digital products usually don't have to include a refund policy because you get access to the product right away, but I offer this because I want that all my clients are satisfied. But also I want that my clients are putting in their work and don't expect overnight success, and this is why I want you to complete the work of module 1. You can find the General Terms and Conditions here or at the end of this page.
Do I get a certificate of completion at the end?
After completing the 10-week course, you will receive a certificate to showcase your progress in German over that period. This certificate signifies your dedication to improving your language skills. Although it is not intended for job applications, as no course provides such a certificate, you will need to take an in-person exam to demonstrate your language proficiency officially. While this course will enhance your language abilities, we are not authorized to conduct these exams or issue official certificates. The Goethe Institute or TELC handles these assessments.
