Question 1

How long does it take to learn German?

Accepted Answer

Most beginners reach a confident A1 level in 2–3 months with 20–30 minutes of daily practice. A2 typically takes another 3–4 months. Consistency matters more than long sessions.

Question 2

What level is A1 German?

Accepted Answer

A1 is the absolute beginner level on the CEFR scale. At A1 you can introduce yourself, ask basic questions, handle simple everyday situations, and understand slow, clear speech.

Question 3

Can I learn German for free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Xmentra's lessons, vocabulary, grammar practice and listening exercises are all free to use — no account required.

Question 4

How often should I study?

A short daily session (15–25 minutes) beats one long weekly session. Daily exposure builds the streak and habit your brain needs to retain new vocabulary.

Can beginners use Xmentra?

Accepted Answer

No. The A1 course starts from the very basics — letters, greetings, numbers, and everyday vocabulary.

Question 7

How much time should I study daily?

Accepted Answer

15–30 minutes a day is ideal for sustainable progress. Use a mix of a new lesson, daily words, and a short listening drill.

What comes after A1?

After A1 you move to A2, where you handle longer conversations, past tense, and more vocabulary. Xmentra has a dedicated A2 course.
