Working through Fluenz German
-
I started Fluenz German a few weeks ago. Many years ago I did all 5 levels of Fluenz Spanish, and loved it. I just completed German Lesson 18, and Sonia said "go to the commons and tell us your favorite part", so here I am. It is definitely fun, but a bit more challenging than I remember Spanish, because of the cases and genders. The instruction and program is great. My favorite part is the listening comprehension parts, where you have to type in the sentences that you've heard.
Anybody else working through German right now? I would be also interested in recommendations for supplementing Fluenz as well. Also, I am doing 1 lesson per day, but I really have 2 or more hours per day that I can spend on this, so I'm curious if doing two lessons is a good idea, or if I should simply study the material I've learned more and keep at that pace.

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.
