The Easy German Beginner Challenge is a 10 day-long-challenge. Each day we post a new challenge for you on our Discord server.

The goal is to approach the language in an interesting and interactive way, tackling all four essential skills: reading, listening, writing and speaking.

To join the Beginner Challenge, you'll simply need to become a Learner Member of Easy German (or higher tier) for the duration of the challenge. Once you're a member, you'll get access to our Discord server, where our challenges will be conducted.

Yes, no problem at all! You can join our Beginner Challenge at any time. Previous challenges and threads will be available for you to catch up at your own pace.

Once you are a Learner Member (or Conversation Member), you can participate in the challenge. You will only pay the membership fee, which depends on your selected membership tier and your mode of payment (monthly or yearly). All fees can be found here.

Absolutely! We offer a monthly subscription option that you can cancel at any time. This allows you to participate in the Beginner Challenge and also experience other benefits of being an Easy German member for a month or two.

Discord is a free chat app that you can use on your computer and phone. We use it to communicate and chat with our members. To join, you'll need to link your Membership Platform account to your Discord account — it takes less than 5 minutes and we have a tutorial on how to do this here.

Once you're in, you'll see a variety of text channels where you can chat about everything from everyday life to philosophical topics in German.

You'll also see a section called "🏆 | beginner-challenge" — this is where we'll facilitate our daily discussions and tasks.

Of course you can! The Challenge is designed for Beginners with no or little previous experience, but you can also use it as a refresher course to brush up on your knowledge.

Definitely. Our Beginner Challenge is conducted online, so you can participate from anywhere in the world. All you need is a phone or computer with internet access.

Yes! We’re planning two Zoom calls where you can practise your spoken German in a relaxed setting together with the Easy German team members and other participants. Don’t worry – we’re here to help, and nobody has to be perfect! 🤗

How much time you spend on the tasks will be quite individual, depending on your personal pace. Roughly estimated there is a time commitment to be expected around 30 min a day. Our two calls will both last around 60 minutes.

The discussions are conducted in a forum on Discord. After reading each day’s task, members can join the challenge of the day and post in the thread. Besides that you can ask questions, or respond to others' posts. The atmosphere is friendly and open, with everyone encouraged to participate as much or as little as they feel comfortable with.

Each day, we introduce a new beginner friendly and relevant topic, together with suitable materials, questions and tasks.

That's completely fine! The Beginner Challenge is self-paced, so if you miss a day, you can always catch up later. The important thing is to enjoy the process and learn at a pace that's comfortable for you.

If you have a question that we didn't cover in these FAQs, feel free to reach out to us through our contact form or ask in the Discord community. We're here to help!
