THE METHOD

The German grammar map: all 70 topics of A1 → A2, in teaching order

Every grammar topic in the free 77-day roadmap — all 70 course days from A1 to A2 in exact teaching order, each with the calendar day it appears on.

VON GERMANIUM

Editorial desk — reviewed against Goethe A1–A2 frameworks

This is the complete grammar syllabus of a solid A1→A2 course: all 70 grammar topics in the exact order they should be taught, each with its calendar day on the free 77-day roadmap. It is generated from the roadmap's own curriculum data, so it is the syllabus as actually taught — not an idealized list. See the whole territory before you walk it.

How to read the map

Course day is the grammar sequence; day is where it lands on the 77-day calendar, after the review days that consolidate each stretch. Revision and mock-test days are marked as such — they re-drill, they teach nothing new. The split point at course day 35 is the A1 gate: everything above it assumes the perfect tense and the first cases are automatic.

A1 — course days 01–35

Thirty-five topics, ending at the A1 gate. Word order and the present tense come first because every later rule is spoken inside them.

A2 — course days 36–70

The expansion: dative deepens, subordinate clauses and adjective endings arrive, and the course closes on production — building complex sentences, then two full mock tests before the A2 gate.

What the map deliberately delays

Genitive case, Konjunktiv II beyond fixed phrases, passive voice, and relative pronouns beyond the basics are absent on purpose — they belong after A2, and courses that pull them forward trade retention for coverage. The same discipline applies inside the map: every new rule gets a day, and nothing is 'mentioned in passing'. A syllabus you can finish is a syllabus you finish.

How long does it take to learn A1 to A2 German grammar?

At one focused session a day, the 70 topics of this map close in 77 calendar days, because review days consolidate each stretch instead of letting it decay. Self-paced learners typically need three to six months for the same set — the difference is not the content but whether each rule is met once or retrieved repeatedly until it is automatic.

What grammar is covered in A1 German?

Thirty-five topics: present-tense conjugation, word order, question forms, der/die/das and gender, the accusative, negation with kein and nicht, separable verbs, modal verbs, dative pronouns, basic prepositions, time expressions, and the perfect tense with haben and sein. The A1 set deliberately excludes adjective endings and subordinate clauses — they open A2, where they have the foundation they need.

In what order should I learn German grammar?

The order of this map: sentence architecture first (verb position, present tense), then the noun system (gender, articles, cases), then verb complexity (separables, modals, perfect), then subordination and adjective declension. Every topic assumes only what came before it — which is why 'learn word order before the cases' is the single most course-saving sequencing decision in German.
