Exercise 4 for Lesson 6

Next Milestone: 3 ➞ Verb conjugations

Grammar

Let’s add a new conjugation to our list of regular verbs:

kommen

ich komme
du kommst

wohnen

ich wohne
du wohnst

arbeiten

ich arbeite
du arbeitest

When we use du we add the ending -st to a verb. Except if it would sound strange (like ‚arbeitst). In these cases we add an extra e so the verb ending becomes -estArbeiten is still considered a regular verb.

Do the exercise to learn how verbs change!

Best German language app in world

I bounced around various language learning apps, but nothing compares to German Stories. The immersive learning is unique and the bonus content is truly amazing. I’m so happy I found it. This site is hands down the best for learning German!

This is the only program I have ever paid for

It’s great! I had already listened to the first 25 episodes before I finally decided to invest in the full features. Now I want to climb the charts! By the way this is the only program I have ever paid for.

Fun to learn

I had no structured learning before I found German Stories. I was stuck in the same place with no progress. With German Stories, learning has become fun because it’s interesting to read and hear stories. I realized on one of my travels that I was actually getting better in small steps. I wasn’t improving before. But now it feels like I’m finally moving forward.

Melvin Pradeep

Much better than other sources

I couldn’t understand or speak German with my German friends and colleagues. The only options were to learn from textbooks or to use apps like Duolingo. But textbooks weren’t flexible enough and Duolingo was way too gamified. German Stories was the perfect middle ground. A few weeks after starting, I was traveling in the U-Bahn and for the first time, I was able to understand a German conversation. Now I can speak in basic German with friends and pick up more along the way.

A great and easy way to learn German

I’m planning a trip to Germany next year and was looking for a simple way to learn and practice German. That’s when I came across German Stories. It turned out to be just what I needed!

Fun way to learn German

I love that German Stories teaches you listening and reading comprehension skills in a fun story. The audio quality is perfect, and the Immersive Learning flashcards are also good. It’s an excellent way to boost your vocabulary.

Allan Chiang

I love your teaching method

I try to build my german vocabulary since 5 years, i’ve tried many language apps and books. With Christian’s stories and excerices i advance more in 1 year than in the past 5.

Silvia Arcire

Absolutely LOVE this approach!

The story approach keeps you going with a great mix of vocabulary and grammar without feeling like you’re studying. Combining all that while listening to German that trains your ears to differentiate.

Gary Allen

Wonderful Learning Platform

I have used other German learning platforms for the last 2 years with slow and frustrating results. I find German Stories to be a great learning platform. I am already seeing a difference.

Nate Davis

A unique way to learn German

We wanted to challenge our brains to keep learning as adults. To our frustration, other materials lacked structure and introduced complicated grammar concepts too early. That made learning difficult. German Stories teaches grammar and vocabulary step by step without overwhelming you. This really helps anchor our memory. Around lesson 20, we were able to get the gist of a story before reading the translation. Now we listen to audiobooks, like Harry Potter in German. We still don’t understand everything, but we always get the gist of it!

Jonathan and Lauren Yap

I like learning this way!

I studied German in high school but I was lacking in all areas. German Stories is a larger story, broken down into smaller pieces, with grammar and new words. Now I can’t wait to hear what Paul will do next!

Beth Thompson

Excellent all round!

I’ve tried other apps but they were not fun. It’s much easier to learn with German Stories. The story is awesome and I can learn grammar and vocab slowly and naturally. Looking forward to the next lesson!

Neil Darby

I have enjoyed German Stories lessons

Lots of opportunities to work on pronunciation with helpful tips to get the umlauts just right. The lessons go pretty fast and are easy to follow. I’d recommend German Stories to anyone.
