Master the TOP 10 Most Vital German Concepts
in our flexible, self-study 10-Week Programme
Exclusively in the Hive!
Are you keen to improve your career opportunities in German?
Learning German is your way in.
And since grammar is the backbone of the highly-structured German language, mastering it is essential for fluency and confidence - right from the start.
Yet, in my 20+ years of experience, even advanced learners often lack understanding of key concepts, which impacts their confidence and holds them back from fluency and career growth.
With our TOP 10 Essential German Grammar Masterclass, you’ll be able to crack the mysterious code of German in just 10 weeks — and the best part?
It's included in your membership to the Better German Community Hive.
Get started with our 10-week self-study programme, with new units released weekly for the first 10 weeks of your membership, offering a flexible yet structured learning experience.
Are you ready to transform your German communication skills?
You have come to the right place!
TESTIMONIALS
What members are saying
"The German Grammar Goldmine is wonderful"
"The Better German Community is a friendly and safe place to learn German. I could meet people from different countries with similar struggles on their learning path. However, Birte is always eager to answer any question, no matter the level or the detail required so everyone understands.
Also, there are many resources where people can improve their skills like the Weekly challenges, Weekly Live Events, Q&A forum, Fun Stuff, and many more.
Besides, the Learning section is extensive and provides different ways to train listening, writing, and grammar. It provides courses (the German Grammar Goldmine is wonderful), podcasts, playlists, news, etc. that are carefully curated by level.
Finally, I want to thank Birte for being such a wonderful teacher with extensive experience who always encourages her students to keep learning and improving, especially during those hard learning moments."
- Fernando Guerra, Senior Software Engineer
"I especially love the weekly live sessions"
"I have a long history with German and it has always been one of my strongest languages, however, as is typical when moving around, I stopped using it and I noticed my German skills becoming rusty. I searched around for websites, schools, online clubs, but they didn't quite satisfy me. Then I came across Birte on LinkedIn and she invited me to join her awesome Hive!
My German is improving fast and the Hive is such a fun place to improve my German language skills, chat to other German learners, share experiences and just have fun....in German!
I especially love the weekly live sessions, something which is sorely lacking on just about every other German learning platform I have come across so far. As everyone knows, conversation is the key to fluency and Birte not only leads these conversations but uses them to teach in a very natural and engaging way.
I am chuffed to bits to be part of the Hive!"
- L Voss, Language & Bilingual Specialist, IT>EN Translator
"The amount of content available is fantastic"
"My weekly German lessons with Birte are a highlight of the week!
Birte makes every lesson fun, informative and thoroughly engaging. My language skills and broader knowledge of the German culture have increased significantly since I started.
As a teacher, Birte is very patient and keeps lessons at the right level for my ability. Her help guides and "crib sheets" are easy to understand and apply in practice and have made what seemed quite daunting at outset very simple.
Birte has recently launched the HIVE online learning platform which I am also part of. The amount of content available through that platform is fantastic. It is an invaluable learning resource for me, the community is steadily growing which enables learners to interact with each other. Its fun, engaging and I cannot recommend highly enough!"
- Ben Freeman, CFO, Board Trustee, Non-Executive Director, Coach & Mentor, RWE
