Why This
Approach Works

No memorization. No boring tables. Just logic that makes things click.

Hidden Logic

Alessio reveals the hidden logic behind German grammar topics - simple and complex alike. When you see why the language works the way it does, the rules stop being rules. They become obvious.

Your Independence

The aim of a good teacher is to make herself unnecessary as fast as possible. Alessio gives you the tools to understand and control German on your own - so you never need to rely on anyone again.

No Bullshit

You don't need every grammar rule that exists. Alessio works the 80/20 rule: master what moves the needle, skip the edge cases that don't. Efficient, direct, and actually enjoyable.

The Instructor

Alessio Bona

Polyglot, language coach, Berlin-based

Alessio learned German himself, studied at German universities, and now lives in Berlin. He focuses on two things above all: empowering students to understand and control the language, and making the learning process actually enjoyable.

In his Grammar course he opens up the German language and shows you how it works and how you can own it. It's a must for every committed student.

"A uniquely efficient approach. You won't find this kind of teaching anywhere else."

"The aim of a good teacher must be that her student becomes independent from her as soon as possible."

Frequently
Asked Questions

Can I subscribe to one course only?
No. SmarterGerman is all about simplicity. With an All Courses Membership you get access to 10 courses for the price of one. A1 alone costs 29,90€ a month - and A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, A1-Exam Prep, B1-Exam Prep, DSH-Exam Prep, Grammar Course and Tandem Training all together cost 29,90€ a month. A standard German course in a group anywhere in Germany costs 250€ per month. You do the math.
Do you offer any discounts?
Yes. I understand that 29,90€ per month can be a lot of money for some. That's why I offer generous social discounts - fully trust-based - that reduce the price to 9,90€ per month, and if things are really tough, even to 1€ per month. If you truly can't afford even that, write to me via my homepage and I'll make you a personal offer.
What grammar does this course cover?
This course covers all relevant grammar topics from A1 to C2 CEFR. Cases, tenses, moods, word order, articles, prepositions - the works. It might miss a few highly specific edge-case topics but those are only relevant for a very small group of learners.
Does this course prepare me for an exam?
No. This course focuses fully on German grammar. You won't be explicitly tested on grammar in official exams - but you absolutely need grammar to read, listen, write and speak German at a high level. It's the foundation, not the finish line.
When does the course start and end?
There are no live classes. It starts whenever you are ready and ends when you have achieved your goal - or when your membership ends. Fully self-paced.
Can I use this on mobile?
Yes. The mobile version is clean and works well. That said, studying on a proper screen is always better - mobile phones simply aren't made for serious learning. If that's all you have, it works. But if you can get your hands on a laptop, use it.
Will I get a certificate?
No. It wouldn't be worth the paper you'd print it on. No respectable institution would take a grammar course certificate seriously - and frankly I hope they never do.
