We have lessons all-the-year at 6 different levels. You can start each Monday, if you learned German before and have previous knowledge. For absolute beginners we have got fixed starting dates.

In Basic Levels A1 and A2, you will learn to speak, write and read simple German. The basic vocabulary, introduction to the past tense and declension of nouns you learn, will be enough to enable simple conversation. Important grammatical constructions are built into the framework of the lessons which are orientated towards day-to-day usage and dialogue. At Intermediate Level B1 and B2, more advanced pupils can broaden their vocabulary and deepen their understanding of the grammar. Listening comprehension and conversation will be practised in order to increase understanding in the new language as quickly as possible. Here, the use of authentic materials is even greater, and newspaper articles will be read in class followed by group discussion. Each level can be completed in 2 x 4-week courses!
