YouTube — or the full program?
The lesson videos run on YouTube — free. Quick+ is the turbo.
You can learn from the videos every day — they work. But you are only watching: no downloads, no vocabulary trainer, no Anki decks, no quizzes, no progress. Quick+ switches everything to direct access: every lesson, decode tables, audio tracks, trainers and decks — and the annual pass costs 12 months for the price of 10. If you want the turbo on, you subscribe.
Your price, your country
Charging the same everywhere is neither fair nor sustainable. That's why your price follows your native language. One target language is included in a membership — add 50 % and you get ALL languages. Not per person: the whole family learns, each in their own language, one membership.
Country not listed? The Germany price applies. Yearly pass = 2 months free — the same rule everywhere: 12 months for the price of 10, also for all languages.
How long until your goal?
Drag the slider to your daily learning budget and pick your goal. The calculation uses the CEFR rule of thumb — and because the method builds the listening foundation first, every invested minute gets you further than cramming ever could.
Practice values from the Birkenbihl tradition: everyday conversation skills at 30 minutes a day often showed up after around 10 weeks — roughly half that at 45 minutes. Certificate levels like A1 or B1 need the hour figures above.
Get Plus — here's how for now:
The payment flow goes live in the next few days. Until then: send a request — you'll get your payment link by email (usually the same day). Your access starts right after.
No subscription required: YouTube stays completely free — Lesson 1 is open here too.
Questions about pricing
What stays free?
Everything on YouTube: the complete method as video — 16 lessons, speak-along included. And Lesson 1 is fully open here too. If that's enough, you don't need Quick+.
How do I cancel?
Monthly pass: anytime — a short email is enough, effective at the end of the month. Yearly pass: one-time, no automatic renewal.
How do I pay?
Card, PayPal or bank transfer — whatever suits you. After your request you'll receive the matching payment link by email.
Will there really be new modules?
Yes, every week: new lessons, quizzes, Anki decks, matching exercises. All included in the Quick+ price — no surcharge, no second subscription.
How fast do I learn with this method?
Practice values from the Birkenbihl tradition: everyday conversation skills in 10 weeks at 30 minutes a day — 6 weeks at 60 minutes, 20 weeks at 10 minutes. For certificate levels, the CEFR rule of thumb applies: level A1 is roughly 100–150 learning hours in total, B1 around 350–400. 30 minutes a day is 15 hours a month: A1 in about 7–10 months, at 45 minutes a day in roughly 5–7 months. The difference: this method builds the listening foundation first — so you get more out of every minute invested than rote learning ever could.
Why is a lesson video about 30 minutes long?
Because all 4 steps are already stitched in: decoding, karaoke listening, speaking along, consolidation. You don't watch — you take part. And the 8-minute effect doubles every active block: 12 minutes of learning + 8 minutes of afterburn where your brain keeps working on its own. Short on time? The 8-minute trick also works mid-video — pause, live your life, continue.
