Description/content

Our intensive courses are ideal if you want to learn German for your job or for your studies at a German university. Effectively and within a short period of time, you can reach all of the German language levels step by step. Each level ends with a test. The final exam after level C1 is TestDaF or telc C1 Hochschule (extra cost), which will enable you to begin a course of study in German.

Besides vocabulary and grammar, the academic foci will be on listening, oral skills, and written skills. Modern language instruction will give you the chance to directly implement and use what you have learned. You will train the main competencies by using exam-relevant material and magazines and newspapers that address current topics.

Additionally, we offer extra phonetic lessons to help you to develop clear pronunciation in German.
