The lessons teach in English, so you always know what a rule means before you have to use it. The exercises then hand you real German and check your work as you go: texts from daily life in Germany, model answers to write against, exam-style audio, and speaking you record in the browser. Nothing you record leaves your device, and your progress is saved there too.
