A summer flirt
If German is just your summer flirt (or winter flirt or fall flirt), then this might be the right plan for you. But be warned: German gets sexier by the day… wow, I used “German” and “sexier” in one sentence. Weird.

The price for membership is $12.00 now.
Membership expires after 3 Months.
6 months - 20 $
student’s choice
Basically one full semester of German for as little as 20 bucks. And even if you read 1 post a day you won’t have read all there is. So it’s a pretty decent deal.
But not what unicorns would take.

Unicorns’ choice
Unicorns usually choose this plan. They know learning a language takes time. And they’re bargain hunters.
Seriously though … if you like this blog and learning German is more than a summer flirt then become a member for a year and save loads of cash. Well, okay… a bit of cash :)

Membership FAQ
Member? What? Why? Wasn’t this for free once?
It wasn’t. It was “pay what you want”. But I guess the world isn’t ready for that yet. That’s why the “membership” thing. But we’ll make it work for everyone, even those who can’t pay.
Do the different plans come with different cool features?
No, the only difference is the length of the membership. They’re lame like that.
Can I login on different devices?
Definitely. Once you’re a member you can log in on all computers in the world at once. Except for Chuck Norris’ computer. That one into you…. yeah, I know that made no sense.
Can I pay with my German/Eu Bank account
Yup. Just email me with what plan you’d like to have and I’ll give you the details (info@german-is-easy.com).
Broke? Can’t pay?
I don’t want to exclude anybody from learning just because they can’t pay. And there are several reasons… some of your are underage and don’t get an allowance, some of you come from a country where dollars are hard to come by and 30 dollars is a lot. Some come from a country that doesn’t have Paypal or Stripe. And some simply can’t afford it.
Anyone should have the right and chance to educate themselves so you’re all welcome here.
But before you go like “Yeah.. broke! That’s totally me.” – take a moment and think. If you’re “student broke” but you have enough cash to buy pints, then you can indeed pay for this too.
But if you really can’t pay… waiting for your mail! (info@german-is-easy.com)
Is my data safe?
Yes. As safe as it can be online. The payments are processed by Stripe or Paypal. You do not need to supply an address or a name and your credit card data does not hit the Yourdailygerman.com server, nor do I have access to it. The process is PCI compliant and uses the https-protocol.
Is there a trial period? Can I get my money back?
Yes, if you cancel in time. Refund period for the 1 month plan is 4 days. Refund period for the other plans is 7 days. If you cancel in time, I will refund the full price within four days.
But wait… I could read two post on my desktop, two on my phone and two on my iPad, right? Right??
Yes, you can totally do that. And there are more ways to sneak in. But if like something so much that you jump through hoops to get it, maybe paying for it would be fair ;). (And if you’re really broke… email me)
Oh and an important thing…
If you have a WordPress account already, then you do NOT need a new password. You’ll be logged in via wordpress.
Kann ich mit Euros bezahlen? Dollars habe ich keine… leider. Mein Name ist nicht Trump.
Meiner auch nicht :). Wie willst du denn bezahlen… über Kreditkarte (Stripe) oder Paypal? Ich muss mal gucken, wie man da die Währung auswählen kann.
Schreib mir vielleicht einfach eine Mail…
Das ist OK; Trump hat kein dollars auch!!
How can you say that?! He has the best and many-est dollars.
Hi, just come across your blog and I like the way you explain things! How does the membership thing work?
Also, quick question, if you were to say for example ‘That is the best.’ what gender would best be, if that makes sense?
Hey Lucy, as a member you can read as much as you want, while as a non member you are limited to two articles per week (7 days).
If you become a member you’ll chose a user name and password and then you can log in.
Let me know if you have more questions about this.
As for the other question:
I know it sucks but it depends on context.
If it is clear what kind of object (or person) you’re talking about, then that sets the gender.
– Have you eaten his pumpkin soup? That’s the best.
Soup is “die Suppe” in German, so here we’d say
– Das ist die beste.
If it’s not clear what object you mean, like for instance if you talk about an activity, then you’d use “das”
– Lass uns heute Netflix gucken. Das ist das beste für so einen Tag.
– Let’s watch Netflix today. That’s the best for a day like this.
Hope that helps :)
Im 8. Highschool and aint got no money. I have terrible english teachers also. But is there anyway i can get membership with no cost
Send me an email. Link is up there on the page :)
Do you take Maestro?
No, I don’t think so. Do you have a German/EU bank account? If so just drop me an email….
Although the payment screen specifies Discover Card, a popup says it is an unsupported card? Was ist los mit Discover, bitte?
I’ll got to check with the payment processor (I guess Stripe in your case). I’ll get back at you soon! Ich melde mich
Very easy to set up membership. I used my promo code thinking I could knock this out and donate later, but now that I check it seems there is no independent donation option. Warum willst du mein Geld nicht?! (I feel like I mucked that up lol)
Oh, I took down most of the buttons because I felt like it would be weird to have both options on.
Aber ich nehme dein Geld gerne :). Hier ist ein Link
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=H4T9K6H576XBQ
Thanks for taking the trouble to set that up. I can now visit with a clear conscience…. until membership expires.
Any plans for life memberships? – for very slow learners and addicts.
I’ll think about it, it’s hard to put a price on that though :). Oh and then … or maybe a bonus system where you can earn discount or free membership by commenting.
Thank you so much for the membership, Emanuel ,and the members who donated the extra cash! I really appreciate it!!
Greetings from Sudan!! :)

I am a student in Germany, and was finding this site really helpful because it allowed me to learn German with fun – something that hardly any textbooks were able to achieve! However, for various reasons, I am not able to pay online. I really wanted to keep reading these articles, though. I send Emanuel an email, and guess what? He gave me access to the site! I want to thank you very much, Emanuel, for helping people who can’t pay learn German nevertheless. You rock!
No need to thank me, thank the community. They pitched in, I just forwarded it :). Viel Spaß weiter hier. Oh and… are ants actually tasty?
It seems like I am not the only one who got free membership covered by other kind-hearted German learners. I hope one day soon I could do the same to help people in need. Thank you and let’s spread kindness together :)
Hi there! Namaskar!
I was so traurig, snif, snif:-( ask me why please…
– Why?
– Because Presently i’m in a remote countryside in south india Kerala and Due to some issues i couldn’t pay the registration fees.
But the german lovers community made it possible.
Emmanuel told me that thanks to some contributiors I will have a 3 month access.
Ich bedanke mich zu diesem ehrlichen contributoren….
Jetzt nur noch 3 month links. Muss ich eilen..
Viele grüsse!
Nalaskar.
Ops, I actually meant to give you 12 months… I was a bit hangover this morning. I just changed it so it’s 12 months now jetzt musst du dich nicht mehr beeilen :)
I think you actually appreciate small corrections, so here goes :) You’d either have to say “I was a bit hungover” or “I had a small/slight hangover”. To BE a hangover would probably make you a miserable human being.
Hi, Emanuel ^•^
Frage: ist es möglich für dich, indische Rupien anzunehmen? Dann kann ich wohl dich bezahlen… Es wäre zwar iwie viel für mich, aber ich glaube dass du mindestens etwas Verdienst. :)
LG,
Die bekanntesten Menschkind der Welt ;)
Hi bekanntestes Menschkind :)… ich glaube Rupien geht nicht bei mir aufs Konto. Aber wenn du eine Kreditkarte hast, kann das vielleicht trotzdem funktionieren. Das wird dann von deiner Bank gewechselt.
Aber wenn du kein Geld hast, dann mach dir keinen Stress. Dann musst du nix bezahlen. Schick mir einfach eine Mail
Hey Emanuel, I’ve been meaning to register for a while now but haven’t gotten around to it. One question as I try to do this: you say that WordPress users shouldn’t have to create a new login/password, but I can’t see how to proceed to payment without doing that. What do I need to do just to keep my WP info as my login data?
If you’re visiting the site while being logged in you’ll get a little window after clicking on two articles. There, it’ll say “find out more” and if you click there you’ll get to the same page you can see from the top “become a member” menu. When you go there this way, I thought it keeps your information. Have you tried that?
I just tried that instead of coming to this page directly, but it’s still asking me either to log in or create a username/password and won’t let me go on to pay without doing that. As far as I can tell, I’m logged in the whole time.
It wouldn’t be a big deal to create a new login, I just didn’t want to do that if I don’t really need to.
Hmmm… And what happens if you click “login”?
I just get a login page where my WordPress username and password don’t work.
Weird. I’ll have to ask customer support (of the company that provides the functionality) but they’re REALLY slow.
Could you send me an email with your username and the mailaddress you use for wordpress? I’ll see if I can add you as a user manually.
I have being trying to learn German for a while now… (I will not say how long:P)
So I am determined to be able to speak in at least one other language eventually, so taking the plunge and going to buy a membership when I get paid this week :)
Thank you German-is-easy for a great website and all the useful links too! I am genuinely looking forward to accessing super learning info!
#OneExcitedUnicorn :P
Das wird super :). You’ll learn super fast if you’re motivated like this. Du wirst turboschnell lernen, wenn du so motiviert bist.
I had a problem with the Paypal payment. It went through almost to the end and then it hanged on a last step. My Paypal account doesn’t seem to be charged. I am not sure if I should try it again, because I fear of a double charge. I went for 6 months subscription with promotional code.
Could you send me a quick email… then I’ll check if there’s some payment and we can see how we do this (the payment process is done by Paypal entirely, so I can’t really tell what’s going wrong). Oh and let me know (in the email) which code you were trying. Sorry for the trouble.
Emanuel putting great content on this website and the people sponsoring german students that can’t afford membership… Impeccable teamwork!
I really want to thank all the people who’ve provided me this sponsored membership.
Additionally, I’m sure that I’m going to sponsor people in need when I get to afford it, therefore become a contributing member of this awesome community.
Word :)
Vielen Dank Emanuel und ich möchte auch allen Leuten danken ,die Geld spenden für uns ,wir als Studenten und Flüchtlinge gleichzeitig , die unsere Situation uns nicht hilft zu bezahlen. :)
Herzliche Grüße.
Willkommen :). Dein Deutsch ist übrigens schon ziemlich gut. Der Satz, den du geschrieben hast, war nicht einfach! Hier mal eine Korrektur:
– … die Geld spenden für uns – wir als Studenten und Flüchtlinge gleichzeitig – denen unsere Situation nicht hilft zu bezahlen.
Das “denen” ist Relativpronomen “Dativ” Plural und kommt von “helfen”. Die Situation hilft jemandem. In Englisch wäre es sowas wie “the people for whom”
Ich möchte nur DANKE zu sagen, Ich danke Emanuel und auch allen Leuten, die extra Geld für uns Studenten bezahlt. Ich kann jetzt weiter Deutsch lernen mit diese erstaunliche Website. Vielen vielen Danke!
Eine kleine Korrektur:
– Ich möchte nur danke sagen… “möchten” works without “zu”.
Viel Spaß hier!
Thank you, Emanuel, as well as those who have sent in sponsorship donations so that I, and others without the financial means, are able to access this wonderful site. Like funkfiction, I plan to sponsor others when we are back on our feet financially. Thank you again!
I also would be interested in a lifetime membership as I am a slow learner and kind of do it in spurts. I hope you decide to do that as I’ll be the first in line. :)
I’ll think about it… again :)
