German A1.2 Intensive Course

German A1.2 Intensive Course – Learn to speak and understand German with confidence

Have you already had your first experiences with the German language? Can you introduce yourself, order a coffee, and answer simple questions? That is wonderful! But you have probably also noticed: There is still so much more to discover. Perhaps you want to ask more specific questions at the supermarket, make an appointment at the doctor’s office by yourself, or simply understand what people on the street are saying to each other.

This is exactly why our German A1.2 Intensive Course exists.

This course is not just a classroom lesson. It is your bridge to a secure and confident everyday life in Germany. We have developed this course specifically for people who are new to the country, who want to learn the language quickly, and who require a visa for their stay.

Here, you will find out in detail what awaits you in this course, how we learn together, and why this format is optimal for your personal goals.

Who is this course suitable for?

This course is perfect for you if you have already successfully completed the A1.1 level. You know the alphabet, the numbers, and the first important verbs. Now, we want to expand this knowledge significantly.

This course is particularly important for participants who are coming to Germany from abroad (for example, for university studies, to search for a job, or for an Au Pair year) and need to apply for or extend a visa. Immigration authorities in Germany (the Ausländerbehörde) often require proof of participation in an “Intensivkurs” (Intensive Course). Our course meets exactly these strict criteria. With 20 teaching units per week, it is recognized as an official intensive language course. This gives you security for your planning and your official documents.

When and how do we learn? (The Course Structure)

To learn a language quickly and effectively, regularity is the most important factor. You cannot learn a language by only studying once a week. Therefore, our course takes place every single day:

• Monday to Friday
• 4 Teaching Units (UE) per day
• Each Teaching Unit lasts 45 minutes

This means you will be actively learning German for 20 units every week. This rhythm is incredibly effective. What you learn on Monday, we repeat briefly on Tuesday, and build upon on Wednesday. Through this daily contact with the language, you forget much less and make very fast progress. You stay in the “flow” of the language.

What will you learn in this course? (The Content)

The A1.2 level is very exciting. We leave the very simple sentences behind and begin to tell real stories. Here are some of the key topics we will work on together:

1. Everyday Life and Shopping We learn more than just the names of groceries. We practice real, authentic dialogues. How do you ask about the price per kilogram? How do you tell the salesperson that you want to exchange a t-shirt because it is too small? We also look at clothing, sizes, and colors in detail. After this course, you will be able to go shopping in Germany with total relaxation.

2. Housing and Orientation A major topic in A1.2 is “Housing.” How do you describe your room or your apartment to a friend? We learn the names of furniture and appliances. Furthermore, we learn important prepositions that describe location. Where is the table? It is standing in the kitchen. Where is the book? It is lying on the table. This is very important for using correct grammar.

3. Appointments and Health In Germany, you often have to make appointments. We practice making phone calls. How do you call a doctor? How do you say that you have a headache, a fever, or a stomach ache? We learn the parts of the body and simple, helpful sentences for the pharmacy or the hospital. This gives you safety and confidence if you ever feel unwell.

4. The Past (The “Perfekt” Tense) This is a huge step forward! In A1.1, we mostly spoke in the “here and now” (Present Tense). In A1.2, we learn to speak about yesterday. What did you do on the weekend? Did you play football? Did you cook dinner? We learn the “Perfekt.” This is the most important tense for speaking about the past in German. Finally, you can tell your friends what you have experienced.

5. Work and Career We also speak about professions. What are your tasks? When do you work? We read simple job advertisements and learn words related to the office and the workplace. This is very helpful if you plan to work in Germany in the future.

How is the teaching style? (Our Method)

We know that grammar can sometimes feel dry or boring. But a language lives through speaking! Our instruction is modern, interactive, and communicative.

• Lots of Speaking: You should have no fear of making mistakes. Mistakes are important for learning. We speak a lot in partner work or in small groups.
• Listening and Understanding: We often listen to audio tracks or watch short videos. This helps you get used to the sound of the German language and different voices, not just the teacher’s voice.
• Cultural Knowledge: Germany is more than just vocabulary lists. How do you greet people correctly? How punctual must you really be? How do you buy a ticket for the bus or the train? Our course also teaches you this cultural knowledge. We help you understand life in Germany better. Our teachers are not just lecturers; they are guides for your start in your new home.

The Atmosphere in the Course

In our A1.2 Intensive Course, you are not alone. You will meet people from all over the world. Your classmates might come from Asia, South America, Africa, or other parts of Europe. Everyone has the same goal: to learn German and to arrive in Germany.

This international atmosphere is very special. You will quickly find new friends. You can help each other and motivate one another. In the break, we might drink a coffee together and practice speaking German. A friendly and respectful atmosphere is very important to us. Everyone should feel comfortable and have fun while learning.

Completion and Certificate

At the end of the course, we often do a small test. We check what you have learned. If you have participated regularly, you will receive a Certificate of Attendance. This document is very important. It shows the Ausländerbehörde (Foreigners’ Authority) or a future employer that you were diligent and have actively learned German.

After A1.2, you are ready for the next level: Level A2.
