OUR METHOD

You speak German from the very beginning. We want you to be able to speak, read, understand and write German as quickly as possible - anything which is important to you. Our German teachers understand various teaching methods which are used to ensure your utmost success.

We use the same German textbooks like the Goethe Institute in Germany, with additional material for special groups and other added material. You may buy German books in our bookshop.

During a German course lesson there are a large variety of work patterns: group work, role-playing, discussions, interviews - you are always participating actively. In each group of approx. 9 participants from different nationalities, a particularly successful dynamic level begins to develop. Like the Goethe Institute in Germany, we have much experience in working with groups of this size in which particular learning phases are managed successfully.

OUR GERMAN TEACHERS

Our German teachers are native speakers who speak standard German and who have finished their university education. They offer a great deal of German teaching experience and an understanding of various teaching methods which they can use according to the students' needs. Continued training is, of course, the personal responsibility of our German trainers. They are specialists in teaching German as a foreign language.

Many of our German teachers speak several languages, and they also have teaching experience in other countries. Therefore they understand how it is for you to learn German. Our instructors not only teach German, but they are also advisors who can give you study tips for your time after the German course. It is a great advantage for us to offer personal counselling to our German course participants. We are conducting the German exams of the Goethe Institute, therefore many of our German teachers are educated and experienced examiners, who prepare you in the best way for these German exams.
