Die Klassenzimmer
Which classroom today?
Five classrooms, one for each level of German, and Helfen comes with you into every one. Reading and Listening are free at every level; Writing and Speaking need a paid plan, with a few free samples to try at A1 and A2.

These levels follow the CEFR scale, so your practice lines up with how German is actually taught. Übungszeit is for absorbing the language through practice — it is not exam preparation and makes no certification promises.
