What is independent online learning?

50% of a blended learning course consists of independent online learning. You will have access to our online platform, where you will find the online portion of the course. This section includes engaging learning activities, online flash cards to study vocabulary, and summary explanations of all important grammatical structures and phrases you will encounter. Your instructor will assign weekly exercises intended to be completed at your own pace within a given week. These exercises will prepare you for the online live sessions in which you will meet with your classmates. You will complete most online activities individually, but they will also include interactive tasks where you will engage with the entire learning group. These group activities may include posting about your hobbies, interests or upcoming events while also interacting with classmates by leaving comments on their posts.

What are the technical requirements?

For an optimal learning experience, you need a Windows or Mac desktop computer or laptop. To participate, you must use: headset/headphones, desktop or laptop computer, internet speeds of at least 3 mbps, and mastery of basic computer functions (copy/paste, etc.). Mobile devices cannot be used for class; Chrome is the most compatible browser for the learning platform. You need a headset with microphone. If you use the built-in speakers and microphone on your laptop, it might cause an echo for the other participants in the online classrooms. A headset and a camera are essential for participating in the live sessions. We ask you to turn on your camera during the sessions.

German language course with online component

Illustration einer Lerngruppe mit mehreren Teilnehmern

Alternating between 50% face-to-face lessons and 50% additional online learning with the learning plattform will help you achieve your goals. You'll practice all the skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking!

How it works

Studying from the learning platform
50% of the course takes place on the Goethe-Institut's online learning platform. Participants work on individual and group tasks in reading, listening comprehension, and writing. The instructor closely monitors progress and provides personalized feedback.
During the online phases, participants work independently on interactive tasks, videos, exercises, and written assignments, which are regularly reviewed by the teacher. The online learning component prepares students for the face-to-face classes, helping them to improve speaking and comprehension skills.

In-person classes at the Goethe-Institut
The other half of the course consists of face-to-face meetings at the Goethe-Institut, where participants engage in interactive lessons led by an experienced teacher. These sessions provide valuable opportunities to enhance speaking skills and deepen the material covered on the learning platform.
The in-person sessions focus on communication and practical exercises, providing direct feedback and personal interaction.

The combination of online and in-person learning ensures the most effective learning outcomes.
