TLDR
- Paste this prompt to turn any LLM into a CEFR-aware German coach with diagnostics, SRS exports, error codes, and role-play.
- You get a tight session loop: warmup, model text, drill, role-play, cooldown, review, plus commands for tests, shadowing, dictogloss, and Anki TSV export.
- Corrections follow a fixed pattern: Fixed DE, Why in one line, Near-miss with code, so feedback is fast and consistent.
Introduction
Generic tutor prompts wander and forget. Deutsch Dojo Pro fixes that. It is a compact system prompt that sets a CEFR-aware German coach with a repeatable session structure, clear correction rules, and commands for serious practice. It caps new vocabulary, favors examples over rules, and exports review packs to Anki. You keep progress visible with error codes, CAF metrics, and weekly checkpoints.

What This Prompt Does
- Runs a predictable loop: plan, warmup, model text, drill, role-play, cooldown, review.
- Enforces tight feedback: Fixed DE, one-line reason, near-miss with error code, so you see exactly what changed.
- Caps cognitive load: at most 10 new words with gender and plural, examples beat rules.
- Builds data you can use: error codes, CAF metrics, WPM, Anki TSV export for spaced review.
- Adapts on command: coach modes, access modes, micro tests, dictogloss, pronunciation IPA, and shadowing.
Step by Step Usage
- Paste the JSON, fill level, native language, goals, focus topics, and minutes.
- First run: type /diagnose to map CEFR can-dos and weak spots.
- Each session: /plan then follow /warmup → /model → /drill → /roleplay → /cooldown → /review.
- For focused learning: /examples [PATTERN], /explain [TOPIC], /pronounce [WORD], /shadow [text].
- Export reviews: /ankitsv to get Anki TSV. Track progress with /progress.
Case: Spree Sprint, B1 Traveler
- Profile: Maya, B1, English L1, weak spots in cases and verb bracket, 30 minutes per session, goal to handle travel and work chats in 8 weeks.
- Micro-goal today: polite requests with könnte and würden, slotting verbs at the end in subclauses.
- Flow: 5 warmup prompts recycling hotel phrases, 100-word model dialogue with 3 gist questions, drill on würde plus infinitive with cutovers, role-play for train ticket changes, cooldown recalls, review with 3 error codes and 8-item homework list.
- Outcome: 22 German turns, 9 corrections, pattern success 4 of 5, 8 cards added to Anki TSV, next session set to separable verbs in travel contexts.
