Family well-being is very important for the lives of individuals and communities. A happy and The problem with learning German grammar at the A2 level is that many students still struggle to understand sentence structure, especially when using the perfect tense, subordinate clauses with "weil," and the genitive case. Students often find it challenging to remember grammar rules and how to apply them in sentences. The aim of this study is to develop interactive learning media in the form of Kodular-based applications to address these issues and support learning German grammar at the A2 level.
