FAQ

How will I receive my benefits?

After signing up on our Patreon page, we will send you a welcome email containing all the information on how to access your membership perks. We'll also send out an email whenever new benefits become available. Apart from these email notifications, you can find links to all of your perks on our Patreon page.

Will I have access to the entire archive of benefits?

Absolutely! As soon as you become a patron, you'll have access to our interactive exercises, vocabulary lists and transcripts. If you sign up for one of the higher tiers, you'll also get access to the entire podcast archive including transcripts, all previous videos for download (with and without subtitles) and a lot of outtakes and bonus material.*

* Regular PDF worksheets available for Easy German episodes 174-210
Interactive worksheets available from Easy German episodes 211 onward
Full video transcripts available from episode 91 onward
Videos with and without subtitles available from episode 117 onward

What is Patreon?

Patreon is a membership platform that makes it easy for us to handle your payments and deliver your benefits to you. It only takes a few minutes to sign up, and you'll also be able to support other creators, like some of our friends at Easy Languages or other YouTubers, podcasters and creators. Here is a video explaining what Patreon is.

What is Seedlang?

Seedlang is a language learning app that we collaborate with. Jeremy, its founder, helped us by creating a private members-only area for our patrons. That's how we can offer you interactive exercises, where before our worksheets were just boring PDFs. :)

Patreon vs. Seedlang

Note that the Patreon membership and the Seedlang Pro membership are two different memberships. You do not need to become a Seedlang Pro member to access the Easy German exercises on Seedlang. However, we encourage you to check out Seedlang, as it provides a structured and fun way to learn German that goes well beyond our content at Easy German.

How often and how much will I pay exactly?

When you sign up, you’ll be able to choose between a monthly and an annual membership.

If you select annual, you’ll be charged for the next 12 months and we'll give you a discount of 16 % — that means 2 months per year are free. You’ll get access to our entire archive of perks and receive all new perks as soon as we publish them.

If you select monthly, you’ll be charged as soon as you become a member to get immediate access to our entire archive of perks. Going forward, your renewal date will be the same date every month. For example, if you sign up on August 15, your membership renews on the 15th of each month.

Depending on where you live, Patreon will add applicable VAT to your pledge when you check out.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, you can easily cancel your pledge at any time and won't be charged after that point. Note that we cannot cancel your membership for you. Instead, just log into your Patreon account and follow these steps if you’d like to cancel your membership.

I can’t afford the Easy German membership.

I have another question about Patreon.

I’d like to meet the Easy German team.

Great! We love to get to know our audience and supporters. That’s why we started organizing regular meetups in Berlin and other cities. You can find out about upcoming Easy German meetups here.
