This document outlines a new approach to learning German called smarterGerman that claims to be 80% faster than traditional language groups. It argues that language groups are highly inefficient because they have too many students with different goals, speeds, and levels providing opportunities for errors. smarterGerman instead focuses on individual or couple tutoring in clear English using memory techniques. This allows for full attention, near 100% understanding, and 50% exposure to native language input. The document claims this approach can achieve a B1 language level in 30 hours of study for 2,800 Euros, much faster and cheaper than the typical 6 months and 1,200-7,200 Euros needed for language groups.
