German 1 for Beginners removed for further development

The first 12 Scenes of “German 1 for Beginners” have been available to all registered users for FREE, but as of March 16, 2015, the course has been removed for further development. 

German 1, "Michael in Deutschland,” continues to be available to all registered users for FREE. Many learners with some background in German have found this 36-lesson course a fun way to practice and supplement a more traditional course. Each lesson adds between 16-18 new words and idiomatic phrases.

German 2, "Blüten in Berlin?" is now online and available for all registered users for FREE. This course has 72 lessons, adds 6-8 new words or idiomatic phrases with each lesson, and picks up the story of German 1. Michael Mueller returns to Berlin and helps solve a counterfeit money mystery. The German 1 course is not a prerequisite, but "Blüten in Berlin?", with its inclusion of more idiomatic phrases and conversational "filler words," is designed for learners who are comfortable with German basics.
