FAQ

We offer a variety of German courses aimed at different language levels, from A1 to C1. Our course offerings include intensive courses, part-time courses and weekend courses to meet the different needs of our participants. Whether you want to start as a beginner or further develop your existing language skills, there are suitable courses for every level.

Our courses are divided into three categories: intensive courses, part-time courses and weekend courses.

• Intensive courses : These take place Monday to Thursday mornings and last 3 hours plus a 15-minute break. Each lesson lasts 45 minutes and there are 4 lessons per day (3 hours in total), which corresponds to 16 lessons per week. A course level, for example A1.1, lasts approximately 4 weeks. Course times are fixed and cannot be changed.
• Part-time courses : Part-time courses are held three times a week in the afternoon and evening. A course day consists of 3 hours and 15 minutes of lessons, including a 15-minute break, for a total of 10 lessons per week. A course level, such as A1.1, lasts approximately 7 weeks, which corresponds to a total of 70 lessons per level. Here too, the course times are set in advance and cannot be changed.
• Weekend courses : These courses take place on Saturdays and Sundays and also last 3 hours plus a 15-minute break. There are 4 teaching units per course day, which corresponds to 8 teaching hours per week. A course level, such as A1.1, lasts around 9 weeks for weekend courses. The times are also set in advance and cannot be changed.

All courses are structured to be optimally tailored to the needs of the participants and enable continuous learning development.
