"If your child is stuck learning lists of German vocab, or how to unravel "der, die and das", a visit to Gut is recommended. With familiar headings such as pets, food and clothes, a pupil starting out with the language should be able to find the topic they are working on. They can then feast on inter-active exercises as they wish. Different strategies work for different pupils, so the site's range of approaches is really gut: there are writing, matching and crossword exercises, pictures, text and listening tasks. All offer the instant feedback that you do not enjoy in the classroom until books come back from teacher. A new site, Gut covers only years 7-9 (ages 12-14), but it shows that learning at home does not require a flashy "wow" factor when variety and good exercises are on offer."

Do you want to learn German or refresh, improve and deepen your existing knowledge? Our free online resource is made for those looking to start out at the very beginning and for advanced learners that want to reach fluency and perfection.

Whether you are a student learning German, a professional seeking work in Germany, Austria or Switzerland, or a person working for a company that has close relationships with these areas, our program is perfect for you. It's also a great way to learn the basic words and phrases needed during a trip, or to gain insight and practice if you simply love German culture and want to speak the language.

We offer innovative tools for learning German. Practice vocabulary, use the most important verb conjugations in all the different tenses, and drill all major grammar topics with our entertaining online exercises.

Why It Makes Sense to Learn German

The German language is the first language of over 100 million people who primarily live in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. These countries are highly developed and economically strong, thus making them attractive locations for work and living.

Many workers come from distressed nations looking to join these active workforces, and since Germanic nations are the international headquarters for many scientific and technological powerhouses, they attract many highly-educated foreign workers.

Even if you aren't planning on packing up and moving to Germany, many international companies work closely with German speakers, and many Germanic companies are international commerce and production leaders.

A Challenge Worth Investing In

The Germans used to say, "German language, difficult language," and there is some truth to that. Mastering the grammar requires a lot of effort, time, patience and most importantly, practice. Some of the topics that create problems for English speakers are the four different cases, the three noun genders, the distinct verb forms according to person and tense, and sentence construction.

On the other hand, German and English are more similar than most people think. As Germanic languages, they are closely related. Because of this, you will understand German words and texts quite quickly. If you want to test this theory, take a look at the vocabulary of a Slavic language. As a beginner, you may not recognize a single word.

Getting Started

As you can see, learning German is a valuable way to connect with our world and improve yourself. Although there are challenges, our program will help you overcome them through entertaining and enjoyable practice sessions. Explore our language tools and get started today!

Taste of Cinema - Movie Reviews and Classic Movie Lists

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Germany has been a vital contributor to the history of cinema right from the beginning, hitting the ground running when the first cinema for a paying audience in the world was opened in 1895 in Berlin. It was, however, during the interwar period that the social atmosphere relaxed and inspired film-makers created the Golden Age of German film-making.

'The Cabinet of Dr Caligari' and 'Nosferatu' almost single-handedly established horror as an independent genre. Fritz Lang's Metropolis still stands tall as the godfather of all science-fiction movies. 'The Blue Angel' made Marlene Dietrich an international star, and she still ranks high on any essential female stars of all time list. Everything came to an abrupt halt with World War II, most directors fled to Hollywood with few returning after the war. Germany never recovered its top position in film-making, but the dramatic shifts in its history have produced some of the most remarkable movies in history.

The first signs of true recovery came with what is now known as New German Cinema, one of the many "new waves" which occur constantly in national cinemas around the world. One of the eclectic movement's starting points was Alexander Kluge's 1966 'Yesterday Girl'.

The movement's 'big four' - R.W.Fassbinder, W. Herzog, Wim Wenders and Volker Schlöndorff are the architects of the relaunch of German cinema, together with important female directors such as Margarethe von Trotta or Helma Sanders Brahms. Their movies are avant-garde, overtly political, literary, poetic and raw. There is daring confrontation with current social realities and with Germany's complicated past. Many are true wake-up calls. They have contributed vitally to Germany's evolution and intellectual renaissance.

Most movie-goers, however, are familiar with German movies of the last decade or so. Slightly over-shadowed by the French or the Italians, current German cinema needs to be scrutinized more closely in order to be better appreciated. The influence of Hollywood has been immense. The best example would be any movie involving very successful actor/director Til Schweiger whose feel-good dramas and light-hearted comedies are great popcorn movies. In the area of social dramas and art-house films is where contemporary German cinema's true strengths lie.

The so-called 'Berlin school' who is best represented by Christian Petzold offers mysterious tales reminding one of Lynch or Wenders is carving a respectable niche in the festival circuit. In the social drama category, Matthias Glasner's aptly titled 'The Free Will' about a rapist trying to overcome his urges is highly recommended.

All in all, it is safe to recommend for adventurous viewers not afraid of subtitles to move beyond the old and new classics in this list and into the realm of German auteur cinema, East German science-fiction, German horror movies both old and new, Eurosleaze and many other underrated and undiscovered gems.

30. Trace of Stones (Frank Beyer, 1966)

The sole entry from the former East Germany might be criticized for being much too soft on communism, of whitewashing its horrors. One must know that director Frank Beyer was prevented from making movies for ten years after its release, reflecting the bureaucratic nightmare which stifled any perceived side-step. The fight to produce any meaningful artistic artifact was tremendously exhausting and fraught with expected and unexpected perils. The film was shown again in November 1989, after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

The plot is centered on the triangle of Hannes Balla (Manfred Krug) a drunken, rebellious construction foreman, not adverse to skinnydipping in the local pond and pilfering of construction materials, Party Secretary Werner Horrath (Eberhard Esche) who is sent to tone him down and unfazed technician Kati Klee (Krystyna Stypułkowska) who is supposed to offer practical advice. Half romance and half social drama, the film suffers a little from being too long, but its historical value and is uncontested.

29. Tattoo (Robert Schwentke, 2002)

This taut, high-concept, atmospheric thriller in the vein of 'Se7en' with some refreshing plot ideas is given a solid boost by the quirky chemistry between slacker, hard-partying rookie cop Schrader (August Diehl) and his veteran partner Chief Inspector Minks (Christian Redl). The Inspector casually blackmails Schrader to work for the homicide department after he busts him for possession of soft drugs at an improvised nightclub.

The case they proceed to work on involves people being literally skinned for their intricate tattoos. Soon they discover that a mysterious group hunts for 12 tattoos made by the same Japanese artists. Everything races for a surprising climax when a heretofore unknown 13th tattoo complicates things even more. Director Robert Schwentke went on to direct the suspenseful but far-fetched 'Flightplan' and the witty 'Red'.

28. Eight Miles High (Achim Bornhak, 2007)

When gorgeous German teen Uschi Obermaier (Natalia Avelon) leaped from the dubious environs of the infamous 'Kommune 1' in Berlin right on the cover of 'Playboy', even the 'Rolling Stones' started paying attention. They invite her to party with them, but astoundingly are no match for a rowdy small-time hoodlum turned globetrotter Dieter Bockhorn.

Their raunchy affair takes to Pakistan and India and even prevents Uschi from becoming an international movie star when she turns down famed Italian producer Carlo Ponti. A lighthearted homage to the swinging sixties, the movie's over-the-top charms are best personified by the antics of Keith Richards, played with hilarious effects by Alexander Scheer. Hippie nymphs can carry any movie!

27. A Coffee in Berlin (Jan Ole Gerster, 2012)

Gorgeously shot in black&white, a film to be enjoyed especially by fans of Jim Jarmusch's first movies, Woody Allen's 'Manhattan' or the more recent 'Frances Ha', Jan Ole Gerster's debut manages to single-handedly revive German comedy mired in saccharine productions usually involving Til Schweiger or childish slapstick a la Otto Waalkes or Michael Herbig a.k.a. Bully.

A suitable companion piece to the delightfully anarchic Berlin comedy Black Sheep (2006) directed by Oliver Rihs, it is a more introspective and existential film, following the aimless, awkward entanglements of a college drop-out played with admirable restraint by Tom Schilling. To add weight, there's also some confrontation with the guilt of Germany's dark past which plays out like a sobering coda to the previous charming light-heartedness.

26. Head-On (Fatih Akin, 2004)

This is a raw and gritty love story between two German Turkish immigrants from Hamburg who slowly fall desperately in love after meeting in a psychiatric institution: Cahit (Birol Unel), a dour, 40-year-old alcoholic and equally self-destructive Sibel (Sibel Kekilli) who is trying to escape her family's patriarchal possessiveness by proposing a sham marriage to Cahit. Loneliness, jealousy, lust slowly add up and the characters fall in love, thus triggering a series of mishaps which spell doom for the couple. It all plays out bittersweetly in Istanbul.

The authentic feel and the sensitive acting are some of the strong points of the movie, with believable secondary characters and inspiring locations adding up to Fatih Akin's confident directing and tasteful use of music throughout the movie. The film won the top prize at the 2004 Berlin Film Festival.

25. The Deathmaker (Romuald Karmakar, 1995)

In the venerable tradition of the German Kammerspiel, the whole movie takes place in the interrogation room of a high security prison. The story is based on the transcripts of the interviews conducted by the prison psychiatrist (Jürgen Hentsch) with the notorious German serial killer Fritz Haarmann (Goetz George) who has killed dozens of young boys.

The movie rests almost entirely on the shoulders of Goetz George's stunning performance who delivers some of the most graphic descriptions of atrocities in any serial killer movie. Fritz is a wily, manipulative and treacherous character, possessing an uncanny ability to enmesh both his interrogator and the viewer into his world of heinous decadence. Together with the gruesome Austrian movie 'Angst' (1983) directed by Gerald Kargl, it is one of the best European additions to the serial killer sub-genre.

24. The Baader Meinhof Complex (Uli Edel, 2008)

The most entertaining and fluid of the 1970's German terrorism subgenre (which includes Margarette von Trotta's 'Marianne and Juliane', 'The Legend of Rita' and 'The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum', both directed by Volker Schlöndorff) is also the most recent one, featuring solid performances from Moritz Bleibtreu who is one of the most recognizable German actors working today, together with Til Schweiger and Daniel Brühl, Martina Gedeck and Johanna Wokalek. They personify a trio of radicalized activists who turn deadly: Andreas Baader, Ulrike Meinhof and Gudrun Esslin.

The film functions as both thriller and social drama, it offers insight into the troublesome 1970's in Germany and it manages to keep its distance from the controversial and flawed characters in their battle against an even more reprehensible social system. This is required viewing for anyone interested in recent German history and sweeping docudramas with an attention to detail.

23. The Experiment (Oliver Hirschbiegel, 2001)

Tarek Fahd (Moritz Bleibtreu), a journalist, takes part in a scientific study in order to write an article about it and have some fun. It is a social experiment supposed to last two weeks inspired by the infamous real-life Stanford prison experiment from 1971, structured like a role-play: half the selected subjects are prisoners while the other half play the guards.

Human nature being what we know it to be, everything soon turns drastically violent, involving gradual mind games and a mysterious black box. Connecting everything with Germany's dark past, the perfect casting and the actor's sure-shot delivery makes it an eerie and timeless viewing experience, devoid of stylistic bombast.

22. Good Bye, Lenin (Wolfgang Becker, 2003)

The year is 1989 and Christiane (Kathrin Sass) is the East German mother of two grown children, Alex (Daniel Brühl) and Ariane (Maria Simon). The three have grown especially close since Dad left them in 1978, apparently because he found a new love in the West. Their life behind the Iron Curtain pleases Christiane well enough, but Alex is restless. The last thing his mother sees before she collapses into a coma is Alex being beaten by riot police.

When she awakens eight months later, the Wall is down, Germany is reunified, and the Iron Curtain is now an enormous Coca-Cola banner. Ariane works at Burger King, and Alex has a job installing cable TV. Commercialism, capitalism and cross border freedom are things she's assumed not be able to cope with, so her children weave an increasingly outrageous and far-fetched web of deceit, which includes fake news bulletins, procurement of food from the old days etc.

An allegorical family drama, Wolfgang Becker's movie is a heart-warming viewing experience imbued with nostalgia and centered on one of the most momentous events in recent European history.

21. Run Lola Run (Tom Tykwer, 1998)

A teenager movie more than anything else, it offers all the cheap visual thrills one might imagine (kinetic animation, black and white flashbacks, fast forwards etc) while being the perfect homage to the MTV-generation of the 90's. The story involves doomed patsy Manni (Moritz Bleibtreu) who manages to misplace a bag of money in the subway and his vermilion-haired lover and would-be savior Lola (Franka Potente), who has to help him get the money back to avoid retribution.

The movie plays out in three alternate versions of the same story (think Groundhog Day on steroids), all dependant on split-second decisions which crucially alter the characters' destiny. Peppered by philosophical interludes disguised as flashbacks and held together by Lola's constant running through the streets of Berlin, the movie manages to pack a wallop of sensory stimuli in its brief 81 minutes of running time.

Word app

Very good for learning vocabulary. App includes the article, so you are conscious of the noun's gender. Not to be used if you want grammar, tenses, sentence structure. Maybe the 5000 Phrases app (which I haven't used)....

Content is great, most of the drill interfaces are good, the Writing Input is a one-star

I purchased the full version with the 6000 words for German, French, Japanese, and Spanish. The breadth of the word content is great. Most of the module layouts are very good. However, the WRITE WORD module is slow, frustrating, and unnatural. Firstly, I have an iPad Pro with attached keyboard, yet I am not able to use the keyboard and the one screen letter tiles make no sense. Please implement a proper keyboard and not this scramble layout. The partially spelled words is frustrating and I find myself leaving the app in frustration as I know the spelling of the word, but the fact that the word is partially spelled and the scramble letter tile interface means tedious mistakes that have nothing to do with learning a language. I am not using this app for a game show experience. If I could I would turn off the writing modules altogether.

Love It!

Tons of fun, and I absolutely love the variety of exercises for each word set. No matter what your preferred individual learning style, you're sure to find it contained herein. Not only that, but you'll almost definitely develop stronger skills in other learning styles as well. Fantastic!

German movies aren't just important from a historic standpoint, they're also a fun and useful resource for German learners.

I actually think the improvement of my German during my stay in Berlin is owed more to the movies I watched there than to having held conversations in German!

Here's how you can improve, too, with German movies that you can stream on Netflix.

Benefits of Watching German Films on Netflix

Wherever you may be in the world, chances are you only hear about German films after they've received an Oscar nod, like blockbusters "Good Bye, Lenin!" or " Das Leben der anderen" ( The Lives of Others).

But fortunately, Netflix has expanded all over the world incredibly fast. Thanks to this expansion, the company is now offering more and more foreign films every day, and German films are no exception.

This is great news for German learners, as the benefits of watching films to learn German are manifold.

Original language films with subtitles are great for language learners. If your German is from intermediate to advanced, there are lots of films you can watch with closed captions in German, which is even better. As Netflix offers many subtitle options, it's an ideal platform for language learners.

You have the ability to rewind and replay to learn vocabulary. You may prefer to watch the whole movie without stopping it the first time around, but if you found some cool slang in it that you wish you could learn, Netflix allows you to scroll through the movie to find it and replay it to your heart's content.

You'll learn colloquial German and common expressions. Other than visiting a German-speaking country, there's no better way to learn slang and colloquial language than watching movies. I cannot say enough about this, as I've learned half the languages I know almost exclusively from watching movies. Books often teach you expressions that people seldom use, while contemporary movies offer you a more current and real-life version of the language.

You'll get access to a great selection of quality films. Netflix offers a curated collection. As such, it leans toward the side of quality. Entertaining films can make learning fun, and Netflix is one of the world's top choices when it comes to entertainment today.

9 German Movies on Netflix in 2022 for a Fun Way to Improve Your German

Are you ready to learn German and laugh so hard your ribs will hurt? Well, "3 Türken & ein Baby" is the film for you.

This hilarious comedy film follows three brothers whose lives get turned upside down when one brother has to care for the baby of an ex-girlfriend after she gets hospitalized. Starring prolific actor Kostja Ullmann and German rapper Eko Fresh, the three brothers must put aside their own problems⁠-stemming from bad financial choices, bad luck and Ullmann's character's womanizing-to care for something other than themselves.

This film also draws heavily on the experience of immigrant Turkish families in modern-day Germany. I recommend this film for intermediate or advanced learners because the three brothers use a fair amount of slang.

Speaking of hilarious movies, "Lommbock" is also a great choice for a good laugh. Be warned, however! This film can get a little, um... raunchy.

"Lommbock" follows Stefan, a successful lawyer who thinks he finally has his life in order: He's found a beautiful woman to marry him in Dubai and he's been clean of drugs for many years. Before he can marry the woman of his dreams, he must return to Germany to get some documents in order. Enter Stefan's old friend Kai: the man who threatens to turn Stefan into a sleazy bad boy all over again!

While this film can definitely ride the line of racy humor, Stefan and Kai's relationship matures quite a bit as it is revealed that Kai is also in need of getting his life in order. I recommend this movie for intermediate learners-and definitely for adults only!

Historical buffs will love this film, which translates literally to "The Assassination Attempt" in English.

In case the city of Sarajevo or the year 1914 doesn't sound familiar, these are the details of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, the event that launched Europe into World War 1.

This movie is a historical drama, drawing on the actual event but also fabricating some details for the sake of film. The main character, Leo Pfeffer, is a magistrate and must find the culprits of Franz Ferdinand's assassination. As World War 1 threatens to break out, our main character uncovers that the officially released story of Ferdinand's assassination is not the truth: rather, it is a ploy for Austria-Hungary to go to war against rival Serbia.

This movie is a period piece that is perfect for intermediate learners.

These movies on Netflix are a great start, and you can continue to expose yourself to real-world German with FluentU.

Have you ever had such a messy break-up that you wanted to kidnap your ex and extort their rich family for money?

Well, neither have I, but it sure makes for an action-packed film!

In this remake of the British film "The Disappearance of Alice Creed," two men, Vic and Tom, kidnap Stella, the daughter of a rich investor and Tom's ex-girlfriend, in order to get money for ransom. As Stella proves to be a difficult victim and Tom becomes increasingly more disillusioned with the ransom, the story becomes complicated as Vic refuses to stop his get-rich-quick scheme.

This movie is ideal for intermediate learners as it uses a lot of colloquial language often employed by trendy German youth.

In 2018, Eva Trobisch won the Stockholm Film Festival award for Best Director for her film, "Alles ist gut," and it's not hard to understand why.

In this heart-wrenching drama, the main character Janne is sexually assaulted by her boss' brother-in-law. While she vows to live in silence and not to tell anyone about what has happened to her, the incident festers within her, complicating her work, her day-to-day life and her relationship with her lover, Piet.

This film is a true cinematic masterpiece. The cinematography is expertly done, and of course, the German dialogue is elegant and poignant. Trust me, there's a reason this film has a coveted 100% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

In 2013, Felix Starck spent a year traveling 11,185 miles across 22 countries on four continents by bike.

Yes, you read that correctly.

"Pedal the World" is the documentary film about that year and all the amazing-and sometimes tricky-experiences he had. In addition to the physical demands of such a feat, Felix films it all himself. He often reflects on his upbringing, being a young person in the modern world and the meaning of life, all while leveraging his social media presence and the help of those he meets along the way to cycle around the world.

6. "Good Bye, Lenin!"

Very rarely, films manage to capture the essence of an era. "Good Bye, Lenin!" which portrays the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall, is one of them.

It's built around a hilarious premise: A woman is in a coma when the wall falls, and her son wants to pretend nothing has happened when she wakes up. The film has lots of great comedic moments, but also many moments that are moving and dramatic. It really is a jewel of a movie, and it served to launch Daniel Brühl's international acting career.

In terms of language, it's highly approachable and recommended for all German learners.

As of January 2021, this film is no longer available on Netflix, but you can find it on Amazon Prime Video.

7. "Das Leben der Anderen" (The Lives of Others)

"Das Leben der Anderen" is truly a masterpiece and a rightful Oscar winner. It tells the story of an informer living in the Soviet Occupation Zone of Germany. More than portraying the evils of a controlling state, it's a film that raises important questions about morality and trust.

Is it ever justified to spy on people? When regimes pass, should people pay for the sins committed in the sphere of the state? Ultimately, it's a film about good, evil and the blurry lines in between.

If you're a beginner, you'll probably get lost at certain points, but that shouldn't deter you from enjoying this amazing film.

As of January 2021, this film is no longer available on Netflix, but you can find it on Amazon Prime Video.

8. "Die Welle" (The Wave)

How did Hitler convince people? Is it possible to do what he did? A professor does an experiment at a university to try to answer these questions. Naturally, the experiment gets out of hand.

This immensely popular film is about the big questions of life. It has deep philosophical implications and will probably alter the way you view mass phenomena forever.

The film offers some complex discussions that may be harder to follow, but also slang and language spoken by young people.

Learning this type of language is especially useful, and by now you probably realize that learning German isn't just about cramming grammar, it's about understanding the language as it's actually used every day.

As of January 2021, this film is no longer available on Netflix, but you can find it on Amazon Prime Video.

Thank goodness Netflix just keeps adding more German gems to their digital library.

Whether you end up tracking down one of our past picks or click away to stream a current offering right now, I hope I've succeeded in inspiring you to enjoy some German cinema.
