Questions answered

German Language Course FAQs

What is the best German language course for beginners?

The best German language course for beginners starts at CEFR level A1. You learn greetings, everyday conversation, basic grammar and pronunciation with a trainer who corrects you live, and you can prepare for the Goethe-Zertifikat A1: Start Deutsch 1 exam.

Which levels does your German language course cover?

Our German language course covers all six CEFR levels: A1 and A2 (beginner), B1 and B2 (intermediate), and C1 and C2 (advanced). A free level assessment places you in the right batch.

How long does it take to learn German?

It depends on the level you start from, your weekly class hours and how much you practise. Learners typically need several months per level. Your trainer confirms a realistic schedule after your free level assessment.

Do you prepare students for the Goethe-Zertifikat exam?

Yes. Goethe-Zertifikat preparation is built into every level, with mock tests for Listening (Hören), Reading (Lesen), Writing (Schreiben) and Speaking (Sprechen). Ask our advisor about TestDaF, telc or ÖSD preparation.
