inGerman Decoded is a live online coaching program with limited spots, so enrolment only opens a few times per year. If you don’t want to wait, join now to secure your place!

inGerman Decoded is a hybrid, fully online program, giving you the best of both world. Structured learning at your own pace and real, live speaking practice so you actually start using German in conversations.

Here’s how it works: 

✅ Self-paced learning on our interactive platform, so you can prepare in your own time with step-by-step videos, flashcards, an eBook, an audiobook, translations, and interactive exercises. This way, you don’t waste precious speaking time in our live sessions on extensive grammar drills. You’ll also review and reinforce what you’ve learned, so it actually sticks!  

✅ Live online speaking sessions twice per wee, so you can train for fast-moving conversations, apply what you’ve learned, and speak in a small, interactive setting designed to give you maximum speaking time.  

✅ Personalized feedback on 3 or 10 video tasks (depending on your plan) so you always know exactly what to focus on next, whether it’s word choice, sentence structure, pronunciation, or fluency.  

✅ Community support so you can ask questions, share progress, and stay motivated alongside other learners on the same journey.  Basically, you get structured guidance, real-life speaking practice, and expert feedback. Without having to commute. The live speaking sessions happen twice per week, and exact times will be announced.  Perfect if you have a busy schedule but still want real progress in German!

It prepares you for real, unplanned conversations. The kind you’ll have in social gatherings, at work, and in everyday situations.  

✅ Get used to storytelling in conversations so you can actively participate in discussions, share opinions, and engage with native speaker. Without hesitation.

✅ Strengthen your neural pathways through repetition of authentic German phrases in different real-life situations. This means you’ll recall words and phrases effortlessly instead of translating in your head.  

✅ Train with conversation chunks so you stop overthinking and naturally use German sentence patterns. Making storytelling and discussions feel smooth and automatic.  

✅ Move away from isolated words and grammar drills and instead focus on real communication so you actually sound more German rather than someone stuck in textbook mode.  

By the end of this program, you won’t just understand German conversations. You’ll be part of them.

This program isn’t about survival German. We won’t spend time on transactional phrases like buying tickets, asking for directions, or ordering food.

And we’re not here to teach you specialized vocabulary for fixing your car or discussing technical topics.  

Instead, we focus on the core conversation patterns and chunks that come up in every fast-moving, engaging discussion in social settings.  

Why?  Because real-life conversations aren’t scripted—and the biggest challenge isn’t remembering words, but actually keeping up, responding naturally, and flowing with the conversation.  

The good news? When you master these universal conversation structures, they apply to every topic. Whether you’re talking about your weekend, debating an opinion, or joining a discussion at a dinner table, you’ll have the tools to navigate any conversation with ease.  

💡 Specific words? You can pick those up anytime. But the ability to actively participate, react, and engage naturally? That’s what gives you the real breakthrough.  

And here’s what makes this even more powerful:  When your loved ones, colleagues, or German-speaking friends suddenly notice that you’re truly part of the conversation, not just nodding along or staying silent. That’s when your confidence skyrockets.  

And with that confidence? You’ll find yourself speaking up more, engaging with new people, and feeling completely at home in German conversations.  

So no, we’re not preparing you for every possible scenario. We’re preparing you for the ones that matter most. The ones that make you feel seen, heard, and part of the moment. 

If you can understand basic stories or hold short conversations, you're ready. (A2 level)

You don't need perfect grammar, you need a better way to start using what you are learning.

Here's what A2 looks like:

You can say: "Ich war gestern im Park" You understand: "Was hast du am Wochenende gemacht?"

But you struggle to answer spontaneously without translating

After 10 weeks, you'll be at conversational B1: You can tell stories about your week fluently You can express simple opinions and preferences without planning every word. You can respond to questions in real time, not three sentences later.

Don't worry if your German is rusty or inconsistent.
This program meets you where you are and builds from there. Whether you've been studying consistently or on and off for years, you'll make real progress.

You won't be thrown in cold.
Every session builds on a story and prep material you've already worked through.
Small group size means zero spotlight pressure and support when you need it. 

Yes. You don't need hours a day.

You need consistency.
One focused hour a day is enough to make real progress without burning out. 

Because those train your memory. This trains your reaction.

Apps give you streaks, but no real conversations.
Tutors give you conversations, but no system to train your brain between sessions.
Courses give you knowledge, but no way to turn it into automatic speech.

inGerman Decoded gives you all three: a system, live practice, and accountability.
You're not learning alone. You're training with a group, coached in real time, and supported every step of the way.

inGerman Decoded rewires how you speak through story, rhythm, and real conversation, not isolated drills and rule lists. 

If you're thinking this, you're not alone. Most of my students tried that first.

Here's why "just being around Germans" doesn't work: 

1. Germans aren't language teachers. They don't know how to meet you where you are.
They don't know how to slow down without sounding condescending.
They don't know how to correct you without making you self-conscious.
They just want to have normal conversations.

2. They switch to English when you struggle. Because it's faster. Because they want to help.
Because they're impatient. Or you see that look, the patient smile, the glance away, and it makes you want to shrink.

3. Their conversations are often 2-3 levels above you. They're talking about work projects, weekend plans with complex details, opinions on current events. You're still working on "I habe gestern mit meiner Schwester gesprochen". The gap is too big.

4. You feel pressure, so you play it safe. Short answers. Surface-level responses. "Ja, stimmt." "Nichts Besonderes." You don't want to slow everyone down. You don't want them to switch to English. You don't want to see that look again.

5. There's no safe space to fail. When you're at dinner with your partner's family or colleagues, you can't stop and say, "Wait, let me try that sentence again." You can't ask them to repeat something five times.
You can't stumble through a story without feeling self-conscious.

The result? You survive. But you don't improve.

What you actually need:

A safe space to stumble and try again without judgment
Conversations designed for YOUR level (challenging but not overwhelming)
A system that trains response, not just exposure
A coach who knows how to guide you from where you are to where you want to be

Think of it like this: You wouldn't learn to drive on the Autobahn.
You need a controlled environment first.

After 10 weeks in inGerman Decoded, you'll go back to those dinner tables, family gatherings, and work meetings, ready. You won't sound simpler than you are. You won't translate. You won't give short, safe answers. You'll just speak. 

Yes, but always in context.

Every story introduces new patterns, phrases, and pronunciation the way language actually works. Naturally, not in isolation. 

Most people say: "I stopped translating in my head."

You won't be fluent after one week, but you will notice your brain starting to think in German, especially for everyday phrases and quick responses. 

Definitely.

You'll train pronunciation, rhythm, and clarity by speaking inside real conversations, and refine individual sounds through targeted mouth and muscle work.

The result? You hesitate less because you know people understand you, and that builds real confidence.  

You'll sound like you, just in German.

The StorySpeak method trains you to express your actual thoughts, not memorized sample answers.
You'll stop filtering your personality through grammar rules and start shaping the language to fit your voice. 

Yes. This program isn't about learning more German, it's about using the German you already know, faster and more naturally.

You'll stop building sentences word by word and start speaking in full phrases. You'll stop defaulting to safe, simple answers and start expressing your real thoughts.

After ten weeks, people won't hear a "German learner." They'll hear you. 

This is a small-group coaching program with a maximum of 8 participants per live session, ensuring that you get plenty of speaking time and direct interaction.

The feedback you receive is structured across multiple levels:

During live sessions, I’ll help you complete your sentences, find the right words, and answer your questions in real time.

In our online community, I’ll respond to any questions that come up as you work through the self-paced lessons.

After each session, I’ll analyze common mistakes within the group and provide targeted insights to help everyone improve.

You’ll receive personalized feedback on your individual video speaking tasks. Three times in the Classic Plan and ten times in the Premium Plan.

This multi-layered approach ensures that you get both personal guidance and the benefits of learning with others, so you can improve faster and more effectively. 

Yes, if your job requires you to interact in German, have spontaneous conversations, and build relationships with colleagues, clients, or business partners.  inGerman Decoded is designed to help you speak naturally and confidently in real-life conversations—which is exactly what you need in a professional environment.

Here’s how it helps you at work:  

✅ You’ll be able to follow and engage in fast-paced discussions in meetings, networking events, and everyday workplace interactions. No more zoning out or struggling to keep up.  

✅ You’ll train with conversation chunks, not scripted dialogues. This means instead of memorizing work-specific vocabulary, you’ll develop the ability to react, respond, and adapt. A skill that applies to any professional setting.  

✅ You’ll express yourself more naturally and be taken seriously. Whether it’s small talk at the coffee machine or sharing your opinion in a meeting, you’ll sound more fluent and self-assured, without hesitating or second-guessing every word.  

✅ You’ll gain confidence in social settings with colleagues and clients. Business isn’t just about what happens in meetings. It’s also about building relationships. This program helps you navigate casual and professional conversations, so you’re included in discussions instead of feeling like an outsider.  

❌ What this program is NOT: It won’t teach you industry-specific jargon or highly technical terms for specialized fields (but once you have the conversation skills, picking up those words will be much easier!).  

Bottom line? If you want to be part of the conversation at work, not just a quiet observer, inGerman Decoded will give you the tools and training to speak naturally, keep up with discussions, and feel like you truly belong in your professional environment.

Good news! You don’t need to be! This program doesn’t teach grammar in isolation, but in context, so you learn the structures you actually need in conversations without feeling overwhelmed.

You’ll need about 5–6 hours per week. Including live speaking sessions, self-paced lessons, and quick daily practice.
The key is consistency, not cramming.

The live sessions are the heart of the program.

They're not recorded because this is where you actively speak, get coached in real time, and make breakthroughs.

You can't do that by watching a video later.

That said, life happens. If you miss a session, you have two opportunities to catch up:

1. Grace Week (Week 11): Up to 2 additional practice sessions are scheduled at the end of the program where you can make up for missed sessions and get extra speaking practice.

2. Recorded Feedback: The last 15 minutes of each session (general feedback on common mistakes, with no names mentioned) is recorded so you can learn from the group's progress. As one client put it: "Speaking comes from speaking.

Everything else falls into place later." Bottom line: This program works because you show up and speak. The sessions happen at the same time each week, and that consistency is what builds fluency. 

Sessions are held twice per week at fixed times.

Before you enroll, make sure these times work for you.

The live sessions are a core part of the program and are not recorded. If you're in a different timezone, check if the times align with your schedule. If you're unsure, contact me, and we'll figure out if this cohort is a good fit. 

You keep lifetime access to all lessons, materials, and recordings. 

If you join and, after attending the first week, realize this isn't for you, just email me.
No pressure, no awkward questions. You'll get a full refund. 

It doesn't just focus on what to say, it trains your brain to say it in real time.

You won't just survive conversations. You'll show up in them.
