Our methodology

Lektura's teaching materials offer an optimal mix of often contrasting components: synchrony and diachrony, or modern language and language history. Dynamic presentation of content and lasting memorization of language skills — from the ground up.

We combine our experience and knowledge of the respective language with the right amount of technology. Our content across various dimensions is structured consistently and geared toward long-term learning and mastery.

Everyday vocabulary (blossom):

The visible and useful: words you need every day to express yourself.

Structure & grammar (stem):

Connects words, provides support, and shows how they interact in a sentence.

Word stem (root):

The basis – as with a plant, this gives rise to many terms with similar meanings.

Feel for language (color & scent):

You will learn not only the form, but also the sound, rhythm, and typical contexts.

Lektura works independently of large publishing houses and focuses on quality rather than quantity: it prefers a few truly useful words to endless lists. It combines traditional linguistic methods with modern technology – in books and digital applications. The focus is always on real communication and a lively feel for the language that really helps in everyday life.
