German Language Learning Resource

It has been eight months since I started learning German. The initial idea was to be able to go to piano factories in Germany someday to learn this craft in depth and in the traditional ways. This has not been changed. 

​I have searched crazily on the internet for the best affordable ways of learning, browsed many Youtube channels that looked decent, attended online group classes held by teachers in Germany. There were learning platforms difficult to navigate, teachers that were hard to feel a connection with, and also teachers who did not prepare the lessons well or who's lessons were not in good flow. Here is a note to myself and to learners alike who are looking for a dedicated German language teacher. ​

Luca at Comprehensible German. I found Luca on Youtube during the Christmas season in 2024. Her Advent Calendar videos attracted my eyes and triggered my curiosity in her little advent calendar and all possible vocabulary to be learned within. In January, I started online lessons with her. Luca introduces the German language through picture stories. One little picture can turn into a big big world of words, phrases, imaginations, magical sentences, etc. From a drawing of a boy, she introduces colors, shapes, movements, surroundings, moods, and much more. The grammar is introduced smoothly through the story line. She pays attention to have me stay put in the current grammar level, then introduce new concepts slowly and very surely. she uploads each lesson by PDF file right after each lesson. I currently take one lesson from her each week, and review the lectures every night. The lesson notes are so rich, that each night when reviewing them, I find new stuff to learn and memorize. By now, I am able to tell short stories with the vocabulary and sentences gained from the lessons.

All in all, Luca is a very nice, knowledgeable, and encouraging super teacher. Her Youtube channel is here. And again, I am very grateful to learn from and with her in the everyday life.
