Lesson 60 · German A1-2

Review: Lessons 56-59

Wiederholung

60 lessons. This short checkpoint covers relative clauses (the most grammatically dense point since two-way prepositions), holidays, "es gibt," and phone/tech vocabulary.

Today's win: a quick, honest check on relative clauses specifically - they're new enough to still need conscious effort.

Where this leaves you

60 lessons in, the course has full A1 coverage, deep A2 grammar (all four cases, relative clauses, comparatives, two-way prepositions), and vocabulary spanning nearly every domain of daily life in Germany - from the Anmeldung to waste sorting to phone contracts. Full index: Lesson Index.

The single highest-leverage next step, repeated across the last several reviews, remains unchanged: attempt a full, timed Goethe A1 Modellsatz. At this point the course has given you every tool the exam tests - what's missing now is only the exam-specific practice of doing it all under time pressure, in the exact format, in one sitting.

Try it now, if you haven't yet: schedule a real block of time this week to sit the Modellsatz under exam conditions - timed, no dictionary, all four sections in one sitting.

Tell your teaching agent how the mock exam goes - the specific mistakes it reveals are the most reliable guide to what Lesson 61 onward should focus on.
