I know these frustrations well.
Hello, I am Mark, a native German.
Even when I was a teenager I loved to learn and I read many books. I just loved to learn new things and improve my skills.
One day, the sun was shining outside, and I would have liked nothing better than to hang out with my friends.
Instead, I was sitting at my desk at school. My French teacher just announced that there will be a quiz.
All my energy and joy for learning evaporated in that moment. It did not feel like I was learning for myself, but for my teacher!
A year later I traveled to the USA. I enjoyed my time there very much! After a month, I was dreaming in English.
I became fluent — without even noticing.
So it is possible to learn a language effectively — when you are having fun while learning!
A year ago I started learning Italian. It was difficult — especially the beginning! – because almost every method I tried was super boring.
I started to lose my motivation again.
This changed when I heard about Stephen Krashen, a linguistics professor at the University of Southern California. What he said blew my mind:
We acquire language in one way and only one way: when we get comprehensible input in a low anxiety environment.
This blew my mind because it means I am not stupid. I was just using the wrong method!
I have found an Italian who teaches me his language through comprehensible input. He is a funny guy!
Through his materials, I not only learn Italian faster, but it is also much more enjoyable.
I am super motivated and learn every day. I want to sound like a native speaker. I want to be like them and enjoy the language.
I want to help you to enjoy the German language and learn effectively.
That’s why I wrote The Awful German Language. Let’s just laugh about German grammar!
It's a humorous book about German grammar. This book will show you the German language in a new light.
The book is based on an essay by Mark Twain which I translated, corrected, updated, enhanced and commented upon.
Now it is much more than that.
The more I worked on it, the more text I wrote, the more inspiring comments I added, the more excited I became.
I had created a whole book that will help many people to have fun while learning German
And the humor in this book comes from the funny and famous author Mark Twain.
So this book will not only help you to learn German in a natural, authentic way but will also make you laugh!
Just imagine that: You will laugh about German grammar!

You think back and you think to yourself: Now I finally speak German fluently and the journey here was so much fun!

This is what Mark Twain said about the book:
Mark Twain. writer and humorist.
Marco, I think it's amazing what you are doing! I am a huge fan of your website. I love that you used a small work of mine as the basis for a whole book. Learning German always gave me a lot of trouble, I wish I could have read your ebook when I was still alive.
Wait, I'm dead? Oh no! So this quote makes no sense at all, does it? I'm the humorist here, so stop making jokes at my expense!
Just kidding. But all joking aside.
I regularly get expressions of thanks like these:
Alberto Arrighini. CEO at
Italiano Automatico.
Can I say that I love you, Marco!? I’m so glad that you’re gonna help thousands of people learning German through this method of learning languages! I can’t wait to use everything you’ll create! THANK YOU!!!! 😀
Gary Strothman. Now German level C2.
Marco is a really great instructor and inspiring person. He has helped me very much with my German and I find him to be a positive force in my life. Marco motivates and teaches German as well as acquiring a positive mindset.

By chance, I found this nice way to learn German. One course after another, they have not created the interest and language acquisition as Marco in no time managed to do!
Simple, fun, every day a little company with his advice and - I swear! - in a couple of months, all the terms, rules and theories in my head became fluent spoken language!
It was hard to believe anyone can understand me, I can go to the bank, I can go to the accountant, to the teachers in my son's school, to specialists and I can talk to the customers in the restaurant!!!
And what is even more, Marco taught me to not be afraid of making mistakes, but to smile and have a bit of self-irony: “MAN MUSS BEREIT SEIN, SICH ZUM AFFEN ZU MACHEN!” 😀
Everything is likable, regardless of the context.
A thousand thanks, Marco! Marco needs to be supported; just the idea that he might stop is pulling “the ground under their feet” away! AGL – MARCO! – there is no comparison. 🙂
