10 Day Grammar Challenge

Separable verbs, four different cases, sentences in passive … all those rules and exceptions … πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

German grammar doesn’t have the best reputation. It’s often perceived as difficult, boring and exhausting β€” but it doesn’t have to be that way.

It’s time to spice up grammar learning with fun, motivation, and community spirit! πŸ’ͺ

On May 26th we’ll start our 10 Day Grammar Challenge.
On each of those days you receive a small task on a specific grammar topic. The tasks have different levels of difficulty β€” and you're free to choose whichever level you feel confident tackling.

At the end of each day, we get together in a Zoom call to review your solutions and answer any questions.
