What are the language requirements?

For the A1.1 level courses, there is no prior knowledge required. Students interested in higher level courses, who have not yet learned German at the Goethe-Institut or took courses at one of our locations more than 6 months ago will be individually placed with the help of our complimentary placement test.

Will I get a certificate at the end of my class?

All students who attend at least 70% of their classes, and (for courses with an online component) complete at least 70% of their assignments will receive a certificate of participation for their course. Also, we prepare and encourage you to sign up for one of our official Goethe-Zertifikat exams, which will provide you with an internationally-recognised certificate to prove your language abilities. Course participants will be able to take an exam for a discounted rate.

That´s how it works

Learning platform
The online group courses are dedicated to various everyday and current topics and impart appropriate vocabulary and grammar. You learn with different online exercises, e.g. videos, pictures, audios, reading and fill-in-the-blank, both alone and in a group. We provide you with important overviews on various topics for download.

Support from the teacher
Longer writing assignments will be corrected by your teachers and sent back with detailed feedback. If you have any questions, you can contact your teacher via the forum or by email.

Online lessons in live sessions
You meet your teacher and the other participants in the live sessions, which take place bi-weekly. The live sessions will take place during the week instead. Speaking German is practiced during the live meetings.
