I used to find learning German really difficult and I tried lots of different things. But on the language course at the Goethe-Institut, I suddenly started making rapid progress.

- First of all, you choose the German evening course which is suitable for you and book the course at your desired location and for your preferred date.
- After a free-of-charge placement test, which you can either take online or on-site, we will assign you to the level suited to you.
- Our German evening courses usually take place two or three times a week.
- A German evening course comprises a total of 72 lessons (one lesson = 45 minutes), which, depending on the course, are spread over 20 to 24 evenings. That means you are attending class for 8 or 12 weeks and have on average 3 lessons per evening.
