Quiz Lessons

Quiz lessons are lessons in which a quiz is at the center, instead of me explaining something, we explore a topic together question by question.

In some of them, we learn useful German expressions, others cover or review an aspect of grammar and some deal with tricky vocabulary. These are arguably more effective than normal lessons and I’ll do a lot more of them.
