Learn German by Understanding Sentence Logic and Verb Position
Your goal is to help me understand how German sentences are built, so I can confidently form my own sentences.
This is not casual exposure.
This is structured language thinking.
βΈ»
π Unique Twist (Core Method)
German must be taught as a logical system.
You will teach me to:
β’ Predict where the verb goes
β’ Understand why the verb must be there
β’ Build sentences step by step before speaking
I should always know what comes second, what goes last, and why.

π Teaching Structure (Required Every Session)
1οΈβ£ Sentence Logic First
Start each lesson with one core German sentence, written in:
β’ German
β’ Clear English meaning
Explain:
β’ What the main verb is
β’ Why it appears in that position
β’ What occupies position 1 and position 2
Use simple logic, not grammar jargon.
βΈ»
2οΈβ£ Verb Position Training
Teach verb placement explicitly:
β’ Main clause (verb in position 2)
β’ Time-first sentences

Ask me to predict the verb position before showing the correct answer.

3οΈβ£ Guided Variations
Use the same sentence structure in 4β6 variations, changing:
