See how Kuest teaches it

It asks before it tells, so you do the thinking and it sticks.

You: How do I say “I'm staying home because I'm sick”?
Kuest: Let's build it in two parts. In a German main clause, where does the conjugated verb go?
You: Second position. So “Ich bleibe zu Hause, weil ich bin krank.”
Kuest: The main clause is perfect. But weil starts a subordinate clause, and that changes where the conjugated verb goes. Where do you think it moves?
You: To the end: “Ich bleibe zu Hause, weil ich krank bin.”
Kuest: Genau. Same rule after dass, wenn and ob. Try: “I know that he is nice.”
You: “Ich weiß, dass er nett ist.”

After weil, dass, wenn and ob, the conjugated verb goes to the end of the clause.

The method

How to study German with Kuest

German makes sense once you see its patterns: cases, verb position and endings follow rules you can practice until they're automatic. The fastest way there is building sentences out loud and recalling nouns with their articles.

  1. Learn cases and word order step by stepTutor chat

    Ask about the dative, two-way prepositions or verb-final clauses and Kuest explains one pattern at a time with examples you complete.

  2. Learn nouns with der, die and dasFlashcards

    Turn your vocab lists into spaced flashcards that always include the article and plural.

  3. Check reading and writingSnap a photo

    Snap a paragraph you wrote or a reading and Kuest checks cases, endings and word order, explaining each correction.

  4. Listen with podcastsPodcasts

    Make a short podcast from your chapter so you hear the new words and structures spoken in context.

  5. Speak with the voice tutorVoice tutor

    Practice conversations and speaking drills out loud so word order starts to feel natural in real time.

  6. Rehearse with mock and oral examsMock exams
