What it actually is

The German entry in the Innovative Language catalogue: every lesson pairs a short dialogue with a breakdown, PDF notes and word lists, spanning absolute beginner to advanced. Useful as a steady supplementary drip rather than a spine, and the perpetual-sale marketing is exhausting. Quality is uneven between series — sample the free lessons before committing to a plan.
