Treat this as a starter routine, not a promise to finish A1 in four weeks. Adjust the pace to your time, prior knowledge and need for repetition.

The idea

In week one, practise introductions and sein/haben. In week two, add numbers, times and questions. In week three, work on articles, accusative objects and shopping exchanges. In week four, revisit weak points and combine reading, listening and a short message. Each session can include recall, a small new task and a return to earlier material.

Watch out

Time spent is not the same as proficiency. Move forward when you can use the material in a new example, and repeat a week when necessary.

Try it yourself

  1. Ich ___ Nora. (heißen)

    Show answer or example answer

    heiße

    With ich, heißen becomes heiße.

  2. Der Kurs beginnt ___ neun Uhr.

    Show answer or example answer

    um

    Use um before a clock time.

  3. Ich möchte ___ Kaffee. (ein)

    Show answer or example answer

    einen

    Kaffee is masculine and an accusative object after möchte, so ein becomes einen.

Use it today

Choose three realistic study times this week. Write one specific task for each and schedule a brief review of something you learned earlier.
