    There are lots of regional differences indeed. I'm not an expert, so I'd love confirmation on this, but from what I've read, it is especially different in Bavaria and Austria, and also in South western regions...

    Hi @allen10086
    Great question! You're absolutely right that eins functions as a direct object pronoun here, and German word order rules can be tricky.
    In general, German follows the TeKaMoLo (Temporal - Kausal - Modal - Lokal) structure for adverbial phrases, but pronouns tend to take precedence. When you have a direct object pronoun (eins), it typically comes before time expressions like morgen. This is why "Du musst morgen eins kaufen" is correct rather than "Du musst eins morgen kaufen".

    This is a special case where the presence of a pronoun slightly overrides the usual time-first rule. Keep up the great work, and let us know if you have any other questions!

    Hi Matt!

    Thanks so much for sharing your experience — and welcome back after completing all 5 levels of Spanish! It’s great to hear you’re enjoying the German program, even with the extra challenge of cases and genders. That’s totally normal, and you’re making excellent progress.

    Many learners like to add light reading, slow-German podcasts, or short videos just to get more exposure. These work really well alongside the structure we provide.

    One lesson per day or two?
    Even if you have more time, we usually recommend sticking to one full lesson per day. The lessons are dense, so using your extra time to review, repeat listening comprehension, or do some Audio Workouts will give you better results than rushing ahead.
