You start talking confidently, but at about halfway you notice their eyebrows tend to rise. Something is off. They\u2019re not sure when something happened. You said all the right verbs, your sentence structure was fine. Was it yesterday, earlier today or something you\u2019re planning next week? German adverbs of time have their place in that tiny moment of confusion and they\u2019re important far more than most learners realize at first.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><div class=\"lead-gen-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Spoken-German-1_compressed.pdf\" data-url=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Spoken-German-1_compressed.pdf\" class=\"lead-pdf-download\" data-id=\"25562424\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><button class=\"btn btn-default\">GERMAN LANGUAGE COURSE FEATURES<\/button><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/a><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n<p>German adverbs of time are not decorative grammar pieces you add after being \u201cadvanced.\u201d They are the bedrock of good communication. These words are like a timeline, indicating to your listener whether something happens in the past, is happening right now, or is planned for the future. Without them even correct sentences can seem vague or incomplete. Your stories suddenly become organized with them. The listener knows when to imagine events unfolding, and you deliver the message exactly where you intended.<\/p>\n<p>Many students find themselves frustrated because they understand vocabulary and can conjugate verbs but their German still sounds slightly off-putting or unnatural. This often occurs because time references are missing or unclear. In English, we can sometimes rely only on the context or verb tense, while in German, it prefers clarity. Plus, today, gestern, morgen, jetzt, damals, and bald anchor sentences in time with no guesswork. When you use them naturally, conversations are easier and more comfortable, not just with the listener, but with you as well.<\/p>\n<p>As you practice using German adverbs of time on an everyday basis, you will begin to notice how much easier it is to communicate in everyday situations. Simple things like seeing a friend, traveling, or telling them about your schedule become less stressful. Your words are not interrupted by awkward silences or follow-up questions but run smoothly from moment to moment. Emails are easier to read, messages are more professional, and even casual exchanges begin to resemble the way that native speakers organize thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>When you understand these adverbs, there is also a mental shift. You stop translating straight from English and you start thinking in time as German does. You instinctively use time information early in the sentence, setting the scene before describing it. But this habit isn\u2019t only better at grammar, it also makes it clearer. It is helpful to keep your listener informed before the verb even arrives, especially in longer sentences.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"3\" width=\"616\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>German A2 Exercises &#8211; Download Free PDF<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"205\"><div class=\"lead-gen-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-1.pdf\" data-url=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-1.pdf\" class=\"lead-pdf-download\" data-id=\"25562424\">Possessive articles<\/a><\/div><\/td>\n<td width=\"205\"><div class=\"lead-gen-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-2.pdf\" data-url=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-2.pdf\" class=\"lead-pdf-download\" data-id=\"25562424\">Reflexive verbs<\/a><\/div><\/td>\n<td width=\"205\"><div class=\"lead-gen-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-3.pdf\" data-url=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-3.pdf\" class=\"lead-pdf-download\" data-id=\"25562424\">Verbs with Prepositions<\/a><\/div><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"205\"><div class=\"lead-gen-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-4.pdf\" data-url=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-4.pdf\" class=\"lead-pdf-download\" data-id=\"25562424\">W-questions with preposition<\/a><\/div><\/td>\n<td width=\"205\"><div class=\"lead-gen-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-5.pdf\" data-url=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-5.pdf\" class=\"lead-pdf-download\" data-id=\"25562424\">Modal Verbs<\/a><\/div><\/td>\n<td width=\"205\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><div class=\"lead-gen-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-6.pdf\" data-url=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-6.pdf\" class=\"lead-pdf-download\" data-id=\"25562424\">Konjunktiv II<\/a><\/div><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"205\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><div class=\"lead-gen-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-7.pdf\" data-url=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-7.pdf\" class=\"lead-pdf-download\" data-id=\"25562424\">Verglieche<\/a><\/div><\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"205\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><div class=\"lead-gen-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-8.pdf\" data-url=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-8.pdf\" class=\"lead-pdf-download\" data-id=\"25562424\">Nebens\u00e4tze<\/a><\/div><\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"205\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><div class=\"lead-gen-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-9.pdf\" data-url=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-9.pdf\" class=\"lead-pdf-download\" data-id=\"25562424\">Deshalb oder trotzdem<\/a><\/div><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"205\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><div class=\"lead-gen-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-10.pdf\" data-url=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-10.pdf\" class=\"lead-pdf-download\" data-id=\"25562424\">Indirekt Frages\u00e4tze<\/a><\/div><\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"205\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><div class=\"lead-gen-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-11.pdf\" data-url=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-11.pdf\" class=\"lead-pdf-download\" data-id=\"25562424\">Relativs\u00e4tze<\/a><\/div><\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"205\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><div class=\"lead-gen-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-12.pdf\" data-url=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/German-12.pdf\" class=\"lead-pdf-download\" data-id=\"25562424\">Adjektive<\/a><\/div><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>If you ever felt that your German is technically correct but not quite right, then time adverbs are the missing piece. They bring clarity, rhythm, and confidence to your speech. Once you can accept them, you stop worrying about being misunderstood and start thinking about what you actually want to say. Conversations are more natural, stories become enjoyable, and your German begins to sound more intentional than assembled.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing these words step by step, with real-world examples and everyday uses, is the key. Instead, you start to recognize patterns and use them instinctively. That awkward caf\u00e9 moment is removed, replaced by nods, smiles, and genuine engagement.

When? How often does it occur? These are the everyday, high-frequency words that you hear regularly in real conversations in German. Today, today, gestern, today, morgen, tomorrow, immer, always, oft, often, sometimes, and nie, never, do much more work than they seem to at first glance. They quietly organize events, time anchoring, and help the listener to follow a story without reading it over. Even short sentences seem clearer and complete once a word is added.<\/p>\n<p>One reason adverbs of time make such a welcome addition to beginners is because they are so simple compared with many of the other parts of German grammar. They do not change their shape. There are no gendered endings, case endings to memorize, and no plural versions to worry about. You know gestern once, and it is gestern forever, no matter what you say or what verb you use. This consistency is an easy relief in a language in which learners struggle with the articles, adjective endings and declension tables. It gives you time to think about meaning and not memorize, which boosts confidence at an early age.<\/p>\n<p>But, adverbs of time are not always in changing form, but their place in the sentence is very important. In German, meaning and dynamism are key ingredients in word order. Place a time adverb at the beginning of a sentence to create a sense of urgency and that the timing is important. Starting with Heute or Gestern tells the listener right away what is being done, and slight shifts the focus to time, rather than the content. This is particularly prevalent in spoken German and storytelling, where context matters just as much as the act itself.<\/p>\n<p>The adverbs of time that appear in the middle of a sentence are quieter but equally important. They are able to carry on the primary verb and subject without being too critical. This is where the aforementioned guideline Time Manner Place \u2013 sometimes as TMP \u2013 comes in handy. This way, your German usually sounds natural and fluent if you put information together in the middle of a sentence. For example, putting time before how something happens and where it happens helps your sentence to flow in a way that native speakers expect.<\/p>\n<p>Something interesting happens as the student becomes comfortable with these patterns. Sentences start to feel like tools you can shape rather than puzzles you\u2019re pressing together. And the words of time begin to speak with you rather than against you, steering the order of your sentences and making your meaning more clear less difficult. Eventually, you stop thinking about where to put them, and they automatically fit together, helping you tell your story smoothly, clearly, and confidently.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_German_Adverbs_of_Time_With_Examples\"><\/span><b>Common German Adverbs of Time (With Examples)<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>German time adverbs are easier to learn if you arrange them into clear sets rather than memorising them all. Most of these fall naturally into patterning consistent with the way we think about time in our daily lives.<\/p>\n<p>The first group is calendar-based adverbs, such as today, yesterday and tomorrow. These are the more concrete, and are used in every day conversations, schedules, and storytelling.<\/p>\n<p>The second group is dominated by relative time or context-based adverbs, such as now, earlier, or back then. They are not about a date; they are about a moment related to something other than that, so they\u2019re essential for explanations and narratives.<\/p>\n<p>The last group consists of frequency adverbs: always, never, sometimes, often, and rarely. These indicate how frequently something happens and are very common in opinions, habits and exam questions.<\/p>\n<p>The following table lists the most important German time adverbs to learn first because they often appear in real conversations, textbooks, podcasts, and exams.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Adverb<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Meaning<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Example (DE)<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>English<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>heute<\/td>\n<td>today<\/td>\n<td>Heute habe ich endlich mal wieder richtig gut geschlafen.<\/td>\n<td>Today I finally slept really well again.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>gestern<\/td>\n<td>yesterday<\/td>\n<td>Gestern bin ich durch den ganzen Regen gelaufen und trotzdem gl\u00fccklich gewesen.<\/td>\n<td>Yesterday I walked through all the rain and still felt happy.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>morgen<\/td>\n<td>tomorrow<\/td>\n<td>Morgen treffe ich meine Sprachpartnerin zum ersten Mal live.<\/td>\n<td>Tomorrow I\u2019m meeting my language partner in person for the first time.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>jetzt<\/td>\n<td>now<\/td>\n<td>Jetzt sitze ich hier und versuche, nicht aufzugeben.<\/td>\n<td>Now I\u2019m sitting here trying not to give up.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>damals<\/td>\n<td>back then<\/td>\n<td>Damals dachte ich, Deutsch w\u00e4re viel schwerer als es wirklich ist.<\/td>\n<td>Back then I thought German was much harder than it actually is.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>fr\u00fcher<\/td>\n<td>earlier \/ in the past<\/td>\n<td>Fr\u00fcher habe ich jeden Tag drei Stunden Vokabeln gepaukt.<\/td>\n<td>Earlier \/ In the past I crammed vocabulary three hours every day.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>immer<\/td>\n<td>always<\/td>\n<td>Meine Mutter sagt, ich komme immer zu sp\u00e4t\u2014und sie hat recht.<\/td>\n<td>My mom says I\u2019m always late\u2014and she\u2019s right.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>nie<\/td>\n<td>never<\/td>\n<td>Ich habe nie verstanden, warum manche Leute Kaffee ohne Milch trinken.<\/td>\n<td>I\u2019ve never understood why some people drink coffee without milk.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>manchmal<\/td>\n<td>sometimes<\/td>\n<td>Manchmal wache ich auf und habe pl\u00f6tzlich Lust, alles auf Deutsch zu denken.<\/td>\n<td>Sometimes I wake up and suddenly feel like thinking everything in German.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>bald<\/td>\n<td>soon<\/td>\n<td>Bald werde ich endlich mal nach Deutschland fahren k\u00f6nnen.<\/td>\n<td>Soon I\u2019ll finally be able to travel to Germany.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>sp\u00e4ter<\/td>\n<td>later<\/td>\n<td>Sp\u00e4ter erz\u00e4hle ich dir die ganze Geschichte\u2014jetzt muss ich erst lernen.<\/td>\n<td>Later I\u2019ll tell you the whole story\u2014for now I have to study first.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>schon<\/td>\n<td>already<\/td>\n<td>Ich habe schon drei Kapitel gelesen und bin total stolz auf mich.<\/td>\n<td>I\u2019ve already read three chapters and I\u2019m really proud of myself.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>noch<\/td>\n<td>still \/ not yet<\/td>\n<td>Ich bin noch nicht m\u00fcde\u2014lass uns noch eine Runde \u00fcben.<\/td>\n<td>I\u2019m not tired yet\u2014let\u2019s do another round of practice.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>oft<\/td>\n<td>often<\/td>\n<td>Oft h\u00f6re ich deutsche Podcasts beim Kochen; das macht Spa\u00df.<\/td>\n<td>I often listen to German podcasts while cooking; it\u2019s fun.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>selten<\/td>\n<td>rarely<\/td>\n<td>Selten habe ich so viel Motivation wie heute Abend.<\/td>\n<td>Rarely do I have this much motivation like tonight.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Look at those example sentences for a second.

But honestly, once you see the pattern, it\u2019s not as scary as it looks.<br \/>\nThe easiest and most common move is to put the time adverb right at the beginning of a main clause. When you do so, the verb automatically shifts to second position and everything else falls back on itself. \u201cGestern habe ich endlich meinen alten Freund wiedergetroffen.\u201d Boom\u2014time is set, verb is happy in position two, and the listener knows exactly where we are on the timeline.<br \/>\nIf you don\u2019t want to start with time (maybe the subject is more important right now), you put the adverb in the middle field and\u2014here comes that TMP rule again\u2014make sure time comes before manner and before place. \u201cIch treffe sie morgen um elf in der Altstadt.\u201d Time (morgen), manner implied in the time phrase, place (in der Altstadt). The sentence feels balanced and natural.<\/p>\n<p>In subordinate clauses things change somewhat. The time adverb normally falls somewhere between the middle, most often right after the subject, since the conjugated verb gets kicked to the end. \u201cIch freue mich, weil ich morgen endlich frei habe.\u201d See how morgen followed ich but after the verb waiting at the end? That\u2019s the usual pattern.<\/p>\n<p>The practice tip that helped me the most was to take a simple sentence and rewrite it five ways, changing the time adverb around, and switching between main and subordinate clauses. After a week or so of doing that with different adverbs your brain senses the rhythm rather than just memorizing rules.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adverbs_of_Time_for_A1%E2%80%93B2_Exams\"><\/span><b>Adverbs of Time for A1\u2013B2 Exams<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re working through the Goethe, TELC, or \u00d6SD exams from A1 to B2, here\u2019s the honest truth: the examiners love time adverbs because they show whether you can actually tell a story or describe a day instead of just listing facts.<br \/>\nAt A1\u2013A2 you mostly need the big seven: <i>heute, gestern, morgen, jetzt, immer, nie, manchmal<\/i>. You should be able to use them in simple main clauses and maybe one or two easy weil-sentences. Examiners are happy if you can say things like \u201cGestern war ich krank\u201d or \u201cIch lerne immer am Abend.\u201d<br \/>\nBy B1\u2013B2 they expect more color: <i>damals, fr\u00fcher, bald, sp\u00e4ter, schon, noch, oft, selten<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>You should be able to compare the past and present (\u201cFr\u00fcher habe ich viel Sport gemacht, aber jetzt habe ich keine Zeit mehr\u201d), talk about unfinished actions (\u201cIch habe das Buch noch nicht fertig gelesen\u201d) or make future plans sound natural (\u201cBald werde ich eine l\u00e4ngere Reise machen\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>The best exam prep trick I know is to push myself to use at least six time adverbs each time I write or record a response to a speaking prompt. It feels artificial at first, but you stop thinking about it and the words come out when you need them. That\u2019s when you know you\u2019re ready.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/course\/german-language-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Learn German from the best mentors in the field!

Much more natural: \u201cHeute Abend lerne ich Deutsch\u201d or \u201cIch lerne heute Abend Deutsch.\u201d Small change, big improvement in how native the sentence feels.<br \/>\nSecond trap: using <i>jetzt<\/i> in almost every present-tense sentence. Native speakers drop it unless they really want to stress \u201cright this second.\u201d So instead of \u201cIch esse jetzt,\u201d most people just say \u201cIch esse.\u201d Save <i>jetzt<\/i> for moments like \u201cJetzt reicht\u2019s mir!\u201d or \u201cKomm jetzt endlich!\u201d<br \/>\nThird common headache: mixing up pure time adverbs with frequency ones. You can\u2019t really say \u201cheute immer\u201d or \u201cgestern manchmal\u201d\u2014it just doesn\u2019t make sense.<\/p>\n<p>Keep calendar words like heute, morgen, damals, and vorgestern out of your brain, and from repeating words like immer, oft, and rare. They are different things and when the grammar is right on paper, it is mixing them up that is one of the main reasons German sentences begin to feel awkward. By learning to recognize this difference automatically in your brain, you see a faster pace of sentences.<\/p>\n<p>What these three issues can do is eliminate almost 80% of that gruesome \u201csomething sounds wrong\u201d feeling, e.g., the placement of time words, calendar vs. frequency words, and natural sentence order. This requires no deep knowledge of complicated rules. Instead, look for native speakers\u2019 uses of these words in real sentences and patterns that repeat itself every now and then.<\/p>\n<p>The real test is when you stop dreaming in German and wake up realizing that you used \u00fcbermorgen or vorgestern without thinking. That\u2019s when those small time words stop being rules and start to become instinct. But until then, be patient with yourself, keep collecting natural example sentences and continue to speak or write every day. Progress is being made, even when it is slow.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><div class=\"modal\" id=\"modal25562424\"><div class=\"modal-content\"><span class=\"close-button\">&times;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<div class=\"wpcf7 no-js\" id=\"wpcf7-f25562424-o1\" lang=\"en-US\" dir=\"ltr\" data-wpcf7-id=\"25562424\">\n<div class=\"screen-reader-response\"><p role=\"status\" aria-live=\"polite\" aria-atomic=\"true\"><\/p> <ul><\/ul><\/div>\n<form action=\"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25635707#wpcf7-f25562424-o1\" method=\"post\" class=\"wpcf7-form init\" aria-label=\"Contact form\" novalidate=\"novalidate\" data-status=\"init\">\n<fieldset class=\"hidden-fields-container\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7\" value=\"25562424\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_version\" value=\"6.1.4\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_locale\" value=\"en_US\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_unit_tag\" value=\"wpcf7-f25562424-o1\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_container_post\" value=\"0\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_posted_data_hash\" value=\"\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7cf_hidden_group_fields\" value=\"[]\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7cf_hidden_groups\" value=\"[]\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7cf_visible_groups\" value=\"[]\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7cf_repeaters\" value=\"[]\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7cf_steps\" value=\"{}\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7cf_options\" value=\"{&quot;form_id&quot;:25562424,&quot;conditions&quot;:[{&quot;then_field&quot;:&quot;group-coding&quot;,&quot;and_rules&quot;:[{&quot;if_field&quot;:&quot;course&quot;,&quot;operator&quot;:&quot;equals&quot;,&quot;if_value&quot;:&quot;Coding&quot;}]},{&quot;then_field&quot;:&quot;group-accounting&quot;,&quot;and_rules&quot;:[{&quot;if_field&quot;:&quot;course&quot;,&quot;operator&quot;:&quot;equals&quot;,&quot;if_value&quot;:&quot;Commerce&quot;}]}],&quot;settings&quot;:{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;animation_intime&quot;:200,&quot;animation_outtime&quot;:200,&quot;conditions_ui&quot;:&quot;normal&quot;,&quot;notice_dismissed&quot;:false,&quot;notice_dismissed_update-cf7-5.9.8&quot;:true,&quot;notice_dismissed_update-cf7-6.1.1&quot;:true}}\" \/>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"full_name\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-required\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" placeholder=\"Name\" value=\"\" type=\"text\" name=\"full_name\" \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"phone\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-tel wpcf7-validates-as-required wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-tel\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" placeholder=\"Phone\" value=\"\" type=\"tel\" name=\"phone\" \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"email_id\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-email wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-email\" aria-invalid=\"false\" placeholder=\"Email\" value=\"\" type=\"email\" name=\"email_id\" \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"language\"><select class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-select wpcf7-validates-as-required\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" name=\"language\"><option value=\"\">Language<\/option><option value=\"Malayalam\">Malayalam<\/option><option value=\"Tamil\">Tamil<\/option><option value=\"Telugu\">Telugu<\/option><option value=\"Kannada\">Kannada<\/option><option value=\"Hindi\">Hindi<\/option><\/select><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"course\"><select class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-select wpcf7-validates-as-required course-field-select\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" name=\"course\"><option value=\"\">Upskill in<\/option><option value=\"German Language\">German Language<\/option><option value=\"Coding\">Coding<\/option><option value=\"Commerce\">Commerce<\/option><option value=\"Stock Market Course\">Stock Market Course<\/option><option value=\"Spoken English\">Spoken English<\/option><option value=\"Montessori Teacher Training\">Montessori Teacher Training<\/option><option value=\"IELTS\">IELTS<\/option><option value=\"PTE\">PTE<\/option><option value=\"OET\">OET<\/option><option value=\"MEP\">MEP<\/option><option value=\"Robotics &amp;
