Excellent course
Excellent course. I've been trying to learn this blimmin' language for years, without much success. This is the only course I've stuck with, and, for the first time, I am making real progress. I am currently on Volume 4 and will continue with SFG until the end. One of the many things they do very well is explain the grammar and oddities of the German language. I also appreciate the English cognates they provide to help you remember the new vocabulary as it is introduced. Oh yes, and they are very helpful if you ever need to contact them to download the lessons on your iphone. 5 stars--all around excellent. The best out there I've found.

For all German Language Leaners!
Oh wow, I’m really enjoying this. I went through Volume 1 twice just to properly wrap my head around the grammar, and it’s so different from any other online course I’ve taken. Visual grouping and Pattern recognition used in this course makes learning a language fun and easy to follow. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to learn German without the stress. Ich mache jetzt Volume zwei, Vielen Dank, Stress Free German!

Progressing with Volume 3…
I am now almost finished with Volume 3 of this Deutchkurs. I feel like I’m making great progress. They’ve upgraded the platform so it’s easier to use. I’ve purchased up through Volume 6, so I’m committing to the program. Ich studiere gerne SFG, der ein guter kurs ist.

I love Stress Free German
I love Stress Free German! I’m learning so much more compared to just listening to a German podcast, or watching a video on YouTube. The lessons are structured very well, building upon each other, and they teach you how German woks. LOVE IT!!

I just stumbled upon stress free German…
I just stumbled upon stress free German and have finished the first 4 lessons and I am very impressed. Having used Duolingo with their BS competition theme and underhanded point purchasing scheme I gave up with that program. I have also used Babbel which I actual like a lot because of the focus on vocabulary and actual dialogue learning.Stress free German starts out with the very first lesson explaining and teaching how to identify and use masculine, feminine and neuter words which dWas the most frustrating part of using Duolingo. Based on just 4 lessons I would recommend Stressfree German to anyone who is curious about learning or is serious about learning German. So glad I found this program

Finally! A Course That Actually Works.
I have been trying my hardest to learn the foundations of German grammar for years. I am conversationally fluent, having been around German family members, but I didn't grow up in Germany and we spoke other languages at home. I have given up many times on the hope of ever becoming competent in using German grammar correctly. Many courses, many books, many tears. I came across Stress Free German recently and did the first volume. Within two lessons, I felt hope for the first time, that I might actually "get it". I've completed volume one and have learned and integrated more than I have in all my previous attempts combined. I will be purchasing all of the available volumes. I am eternally grateful to Mark and the team. Thank you!!

Great effortless tools
I listened to the first Volume (20 episodes). This went well, and the method worked really well. Especially the format where you can just listen to it on the go, once you open a picture that goes with the lesson. Looking forward to continuing with the next Volumes.

The best on-line course available.
I am on Volume IV of SFG and in my opinion it is the best on-line course out there. It is so cleverly constructed - you learn and you don't even realise it. And it is perfect for those of us who don't love memorising grammmar rules - their method teaches you the rules without you noticing it. Very clever, indeed. Thank you, SFG, you guys rock.

Truly a winner
I tried and was frustrated with multiple methods. This one works and is really stress free. Learning is easy, effective and the information is retained. I really am enjoying the process and it is not tedious like other methods.

Stress Free German is great 🇩🇪
I’ve been with Stress Free for more than a year now. I listen to lessons on my way to work most every morning. Each lesson lasts a little more than 20 minutes. Every lesson has Listening Practice Audios, visuals, German media clips, stories, grammar and common every day expressions. Every transcript is written out word for word and I can read what I’ve learned after listening to each lesson. I have worked my way through 6 volumes (at least 20 lessons per volume). I’m looking forward to starting volume 7. I found Stress Free German on Spotify. The first volume is free 👍

First time I actually enjoying study German :)
I studied German up to A2-2 level at a language school five years ago, but I had not studied it at all since then. Since I want to pass the B1 exam, I started listening to SFG Vol.1, and for the first time, I feel like I am starting to understand German a little. I have also gained the confidence to construct full sentences on my own. Most importantly, studying German, which used to feel so overwhelming, has actually become a bit fun. I am looking forward to continuing with Vol.2. Thank you very much for such a great lesson :)

Finally Clicked!
After using Babbel and Duolingo, I finally stumbled upon Stress Free German lessons and it all finally clicked. I love listening in the car and then taking notes at home again. I love having to repeat with the prompts right away and the spiral review with prompts from previous lessons. The stories Mark tells to make connections have even led me to research my German/Austrian roots. New words are taught with a story that imbeds the word in your brain. I just 20 lessons in a few weeks and then went back to Duolingo for games and I’m acing it all. Thank you Mark!!

I recommend this course!
I looked at several German learning apps and Stress Free German is the one I prefer for its comfortably paced lessons that are intelligent, thorough and detailed. I've listened to the first 10 lessons so far in my car and was able to pause and replay at my convenience. I love the native speakers who help with pronunciation, as well as the course instructor who feels like a friend already! I've already learned so much.

The best method for learning German. Puts others to shame!
Of all the language learning methods Ive tried... Duolingo, Rosetta Stone, Youtube videos, etc... Stress Free German is the best, and the ONLY one which has given me progress. Its extremely comprehensive and easy to pick up. The instructor is very clear and concise in his words and uses incredibly effective techniques to keep the language churning in your mind, helping you learn the language, not just memorize it. Allowing you to learn the language by simply going about your day! Anyone seeking to learn German, this is the place. 10 stars if I could!

We HIGHLY recommend Stress Free German
We HIGHLY recommend Stress Free German. My husband and I are new to learning German. We had tried several learning tools including some online apps, books and a tutor. While we are sure that those options were helping us along a bit, we didn’t truly start to learn German until we found Stress Free German (SFG). The lessons teach in a very logical, visual, clear format. SFG’s teaching method makes learning a language much easier to absorb and remember long-term. One other lovely aspect of SFG is their honest desire to help people learn and to enjoy that process of learning. SFG is a small company with their team of employees spread across the world. They are incredibly attentive to their audience - answering questions within hours and making you feel like a part of their team. Once again, we HIGHLY recommend SFG.
