Our Courses
Our courses take an interactive and practical approach to oral and written language acquisition, allowing groups of no more than 18 international participants to master everyday communication situations in German. Participants also practice written and oral comprehension, expand their vocabulary and learn the theory and application of grammatical structures.
In addition to the everyday language courses A1.1 to B2.2, we also offer a range of German special topic courses taught at various levels. An eLearning module on eCampus expands existing skills and knowledge.
