Das Schulhandbuch
Everything about how this school works, in plain words — no fine print, no surprises.
Übungszeit is laid out like a real school. In Classrooms you will find five doors — one for each level of German on the CEFR scale, from A1 (first steps) to C1 (advanced). Behind every door wait the same four stations:
Reading · Lesen
Original stories and texts, with questions that check real understanding.
Listening · Hören
Audio you can replay, slow down, and transcribe — tuned to your level.
Writing · Schreiben
Guided prompts with a full red-pen review from Helfen.
Speaking · Sprechen
Real scenarios you talk through out loud — Helfen answers and coaches.
Every exercise is original and written by hand for its level. When you finish one, it is graded, explained, and — if you are signed in — recorded in Progress. Helfen, the school tutor, sits in the corner of every page: ask for a hint, a rule, or an explanation whenever you like.
Grading, tutor answers and spoken conversation cost us real money, so each account gets a clear daily amount of each. Only three things ever count:
Your remaining amounts are always visible in Classrooms and Progress. Everything resets at midnight (UTC). Nothing ever charges money unless you subscribe.
