Learn German on the road

The vhs learning portal is a free app of the German Adult Education Association. The app consists of various online courses: There are literacy courses for native speakers of German, courses for German as a second language, courses to prepare for school leaving examinations and open courses for further basic education.

You can also use the courses offline. Learners are tutored through the courses. The app is easy to use and contains no barriers. For users with little reading experience the app offers texts as audio versions. In German courses up to B1 level, the entire navigation and descriptions of content and learning objectives are available in 18 languages.
