Help your people feel at home in German

Beyond German teaches English speakers the German they need for life in Germany: the Bürgeramt, the doctor, the flat, the first job. If the people you work with need that German, we would like to work with you.

For employers and teams, language schools, relocation and integration services, and creators who teach German.

Who we are

An independent German-learning site, made for newcomers

Most of Beyond German is free: word, phrase and grammar pages, guides, quizzes and a level test. Two self-study products go further: the A1 Word Kit and an online course from A1 to B1.

  • 01

    Built for life in Germany

    Every lesson starts from a real situation: registering an address, seeing a doctor, renting a flat, the first week at work.

  • 02

    Plain English, carefully checked

    Written for English speakers. Facts about exams and rules come from official sources and carry the date we checked them.

  • 03

    Self-study, at each person's pace

    Short steps on a phone or a laptop, whenever there's time. No class times to fit around and nothing to schedule.

Ways to work together

What we can offer you

Four kinds of partnership, each with plain rules. If yours is different, write to us anyway.

Employers and teams

Course seats for your international staff

Give new colleagues the German for everyday life outside work, so settling in takes less of their energy and yours.

  • One personal access per person, sent as a private link
  • A team price and one invoice for the company, in a written quote
  • A free seat for you to look through the course before you decide
  • You see which seats are in use. What each person learns stays private.

Schools and relocation

A trusted next step for your clients

For language schools, relocation agencies and integration or job-centre programmes, whose clients need German before they arrive, between classes or while they wait for a course place. We add to teaching; we don't replace it.

  • Free word pages, guides and a level test to share as they are
  • A partner link, so we both see who you send
  • A group price for your clients, or a referral commission, agreed with you
  • One route from the first word to B1 that clients can follow alone

Creators and educators

Recommend what you would use yourself

If you teach German or make things about life in Germany, and our course or the A1 Word Kit genuinely fits your audience.

  • A personal link for the course and the A1 Word Kit
  • A commission on every sale it brings, agreed in writing
  • A free seat, so you review what you recommend
  • Your posts say it's a partnership. We'll never ask you to hide that.

Nursing and care employers

German for the nurses and carers you hire, and nothing else

Many nurses start German far from Germany. Our course covers A1 to B1, the stretch before the visa and the move. Most federal states ask for B2 for the nursing licence, so plan for more learning after us.

Our rules here

  • We provide learning material only. We don't recruit, place or match candidates.
  • The employer pays for the seats. Nurses and carers never pay us for a seat they're given.
  • We take no money per hire, and we promise nothing about visas, recognition or exam results.
  • We expect fair recruitment, as behind the federal seal Faire Anwerbung Pflege Deutschland: no fees for the people recruited, and terms in writing in a language they understand.

Brands and sponsors: we accept very little sponsored content. When we do, it is something our learners genuinely need, it is clearly labelled as sponsored, and it never appears inside lessons or the course.

What each seat includes

The online German course, A1 to B1

Self-study material on phone and desktop: no live classes, tutor or certificate, and everything a person needs to go from zero to B1 on their own.

See the full course
  • 81 real-life stops

    From the first hello to B1, each one a situation people meet in Germany.

  • 3,745 words with audio

    Each with its article, its plural and sentences you would actually say.

  • Speaking and writing

    Training for both, with ready sentences for real conversations and messages.

  • Exam practice

    For every part of Start Deutsch 1, telc and Goethe A2, and telc Deutsch B1.

Our principles

What partners can count on

The same rules we keep for our learners, written down before we start.

We always

  • German for real situations, written in plain English
  • Facts about exams and rules checked against official sources
  • Prices, terms and anything we agree, in writing
  • Each learner has their own account, and their learning stays theirs

We never

  • Live classes, tutors, marking or certificates: the course is self-study material
  • Promise anyone a pass, a visa or a job
  • Recruit or place people, or take fees from candidates
  • Sell or share learners' data, sell links or hide an ad

How it works

From first message to first seat

Nothing automatic: a person reads your message and answers it, and nothing is agreed until it's in writing.

  1. 1

    Tell us about you

    Use the form below: who you are, who your people are and what you have in mind.

  2. 2

    We answer personally

    By email, with what we think fits: seats, a link or a group price. A short call if it helps.

  3. 3

    Look before you commit

    We send you a free seat, so you can go through the course yourself first.

  4. 4

    Start, in writing

    A written quote or partner agreement. Seats arrive as private links, one account per person.

Partner enquiry

Tell us who you are and who you have in mind. We read every enquiry ourselves and answer by email, with what we think fits and nothing you haven't asked for.

  • A written quote before anything is agreed
  • A free seat to look through the course
  • No obligation at any point

Questions partners ask

Is the course a certified or funded course?

No. It's learning material for self-study. It isn't a BAMF integration course or an AZAV-certified course, so it can't be paid for with an education voucher (Bildungsgutschein). Many people use it before, alongside or after such a course.

Do learners get a certificate?

No. The course prepares for the official exams, with practice for every part of Start Deutsch 1, telc and Goethe A2, and telc Deutsch B1. Only exam providers such as the Goethe-Institut and telc award certificates, and we are independent of both.

Can we follow our staff's progress?

You can see which seats are in use. How each person learns stays with them: we don't send reports on anyone's learning, and the course has no tutor or marking.

What does a seat cost?

It depends on how many seats you need, so we send a written quote. One person buying alone pays the public price on the course page.

Do you work with recruitment agencies?

We sell learning material, not candidates. Employers and agencies can buy seats for people they have hired or are training, as long as those people never pay for them. We don't place anyone and take no money per hire.

Do you accept sponsored content?

Very little. When we do, it's something our learners genuinely need, it's clearly labelled as sponsored, and it never appears inside lessons or the course.
