Sound familiar?

“I understand it. Why can't I use it?”

Perhaps you’ve come across the same grammar point in a textbook, a lesson or an app. It makes sense at the time, then somehow you’re back to guessing in conversation.

Or the terminology puts you off before you’ve started (fair enough, “subjunctive” and “preposition” don’t radiate fun).

But wait. Hand on heart, grammar can become a lot less painful than this.

I want to help you internalise key patterns, so the language starts to feel familiar and you have less to keep track of in your head.

You can use this approach with the language you’re learning now. Bring your books, your lessons and the questions you haven’t quite got your head around yet.

What you’ll learn when you get grammar-cracking

Turning grammar overwhelm into a clear way forward.

Spot and internalise patterns in real language

1

Connect examples with the rules behind them, so grammar becomes something you can recognise, understand and gradually develop a feel for.


Move beyond memorizing rules

2

Understand why knowing a rule doesn't always mean you can use it (it’s science!). Learn practical ways to make grammar more available when you speak and write.


Know what to work on next

3

Use recurring mistakes and gaps in your understanding as clues, so you're not trying to hold every rule, ending and exception in your head at once.


Speak with more confidence and let grammar catch up

4

Learn how to practise without waiting until everything is perfect, and build confidence using the language as you go.

Hi, I’m Kerstin! 👋

I’ve been learning languages since I was 10 and teaching German for years.

When I first started teaching, I taught grammar the way I’d been taught: rules first, tables up on the board, lots of explanation.

One day I tried to teach the German cases that way and watched the light go out of a lovely group of students who had been having fun up to that point.

I genuinely went home and cried.

After that, I changed how I taught grammar.

Less throwing rules at people, more helping them notice patterns, ask questions and make sense of what they were seeing.

That curiosity-led approach became Crack the Grammar Code, and now I want to share it with you.
