German A1 for Beginners

Start German from zero with pronunciation, grammar, everyday phrases and practice for the Goethe A1 exam

Ghosla Academy · Languages Team

German is one of the most useful foreign languages for Indian students and professionals, especially for study, nursing, engineering and IT careers in Germany. This course starts from zero and builds A1 skills step by step: pronunciation, introducing yourself, basic grammar, numbers and time, shopping, family and daily routine, with every rule explained in simple English and a little Hinglish. You will practise speaking by recording yourself, writing short messages and forms, and finish with a self-timed mock practice based on the Goethe-Zertifikat A1: Start Deutsch 1 format. The course prepares you for the exam but cannot guarantee a result; always check the official Goethe-Institut India website for current dates, fees and rules.

What you will be able to do

  • Pronounce German sounds such as ä, ö, ü, ß, ch, ei and ie correctly
  • Introduce yourself and others, and ask and answer basic personal questions
  • Use present tense of regular verbs, sein, haben and common modal verbs
  • Use der, die, das, ein and eine correctly, and the accusative with den and einen
  • Handle numbers, prices, time, days, shopping, family and daily-routine topics
  • Understand the Goethe-Zertifikat A1 format and practise each module

What you build

  • Recorded German self-introduction plus a filled form and a 30-word message
  • Self-timed A1 mock practice with an error log and a 4-week study plan

What you need to start

  • No German knowledge needed; basic English is enough
  • A phone or laptop with earphones and a notebook for vocabulary
