German for beginners, spoken from day one
Starting a language from zero is mostly about not quitting in the first week. What keeps people going isn't a grammar chart, it's the small thrill of actually saying something and being understood.
Parlita gets you there in minutes. Your first session has you hearing, repeating, and using real German phrases in a tiny conversation, no typing and no pressure. German front-loads some grammar, but the core conversation vocabulary overlaps heavily with English. Here are the first words you'll learn.
These are the exact phrases your first session teaches, and you'll use them in a real conversation, not just read them. Try it in the demo.

The greetings and self-introduction below get you into a real exchange immediately, which is the fastest way to feel progress. You'll build out from there.
