Contact and Enrolment
Montreal

During the spring session 2025, we will offer in-person courses again. There will also be an offer of different online course formats. You can register now! 

If you have any questions concerning the different formats, please let us know and contact us by e-mail.

If you already have some knowledge of German, please write us an e-mail in order to write a placement test. We will schedule an appointment by phone afterwards in order to evaluate the spoken level as well and talk about the different course options.

If you already know your level or you are a beginner (A1.1), you can register in person or online and pay with PayPal during the registration period. Simply choose your German course and then proceed to the payment via PayPal (you don't need an account, only your credit card information). You will first get the payment confirmation from PayPal and we will contact you before the beginning of the course.

We will be glad to assist you from Monday to Friday by e-mail or by phone 438-346-3902. You can also book an appointment in order to meet us in person at the Goethe-Institut.

We are looking forward to welcoming you at the institute.

We offer courses in four main sessions that start in January, April, June/July and September. In addition, a shorter course term starts every 5-6 weeks. Individual and customized small group courses can be booked at any time. 

Here you can find the courses that will start soon and for which you can enroll now: Dates and Prices
