You do not need to speak perfect German. Making mistakes is a natural part of the learning process. In our course, mistakes are welcome because they help you improve. Our goal is to encourage you to speak more freely and grow in confidence step by step.

Everything is explained with many clear examples. You will practice a lot during class by listening, speaking, reading, and writing. You will work with short dialogues, simple texts, and real-life situations so that you can immediately apply what you learn.

How Does the Classroom Course Work?

This is a face-to-face course held in a seminar room. You learn together with other participants in a calm and friendly classroom environment. Each lesson follows a clear structure:

1. Review of what you learned before.
2. Introduction of new topics, with clear explanations by the teacher.
3. Speaking practice in pairs or small groups.
4. Listening and reading exercises with short, easy texts.
5. Writing practice, such as short messages or simple emails.
6. Homework to help you practice between lessons.

The atmosphere in class is open, respectful, and supportive. Everyone is encouraged to ask questions. No one is rushed. The teacher explains everything patiently and clearly.

Are you new to Germany? Or are you currently planning your big move to the heart of Europe? A warm welcome to you! A new beginning is always an exciting adventure. Everything is fresh: the country, the culture, the people, and—most importantly—the language. Do you want to learn the German language quickly, correctly, and effectively? Then our German A1.1 Intensive Course is the perfect choice for you.

This course is your very first step. This is where your journey into the German language begins, and we are here to guide you every inch of the way.

Who is this course for?

This course is designed specifically for absolute beginners. You do not need any prior knowledge. Have you never spoken a single word of German before? That is absolutely no problem. We start right from the very beginning.

This course is particularly crucial for people coming from abroad who require a visa. Many people come to Germany to work, to study at a university, or to build a life here. To obtain a visa or a residence permit, you often need official proof that you are attending a language course. Our intensive course is designed to meet these specific requirements. You will study for many hours a week, which is exactly what the immigration authorities (Ausländerbehörde) want to see to ensure your success and integration.

When and how do we learn? (The Schedule)

The name “Intensive Course” speaks for itself. We learn intensively. This means we cover a lot of material, and we move at a productive pace.

• Days: The course takes place from Monday to Friday. You have class every single day. This consistency is the secret to learning a language. When you hear and speak German every day, you learn significantly faster than if you only study once a week.
• Time: Each day we study 5 lessons (UE). Duration: One lesson lasts 45 minutes. 
• Duration: One teaching unit lasts 45 minutes.
• Total Time: That is 225 minutes (3 hours 45 minutes) of teaching per day.

This rhythm is optimal for rapid progress. You have your lessons in the morning or afternoon, which leaves you with enough time afterwards for homework, reviewing vocabulary, or simply enjoying your free time. However, that daily contact with the language is the key to mastering it.

What will you learn in Level A1.1?

A1.1 is the foundation level. We are building the bedrock of your language skills. Just as you cannot build a house without a stable foundation, you cannot speak a language without the basics. In this course, you will learn the most important tools for navigating everyday life in Germany.

Here are some of the core topics covered in the course:

1. Greetings and Introductions: You will learn how to say “Hello” and “Goodbye” properly. You will be able to say: “My name is…”, “I come from…”, “I live in…”. You will learn to introduce yourself and introduce others.
2. Numbers and Time: We will master the numbers. This is vital for shopping (understanding prices) and for appointments (telling time). You will also learn the days of the week and the months of the year.
3. Shopping and Food: How do I buy groceries in a supermarket? How do I order a coffee in a café? What are the names of foods in German? Bread, water, vegetables, fruit—we will practice all of this.
4. Housing and Living: You will learn vocabulary related to houses and apartments. How do I find a flat? What are the names of the furniture?
5. The Body and Health: You will learn simple words for body parts. This is very important if you ever need to visit a doctor or a pharmacy.
6. Grammar: Yes, we also learn grammar. But do not worry! We do it step-by-step. We learn the verbs (action words) in the present tense. We learn sentence structure: Where does the verb go? We learn how to ask questions: “What is your name?”, “Where are you from?”.

Our Method: Speaking, Listening, Understanding

How do we learn in this course? Do we just sit silently and read dusty books? Absolutely not! Language is communication.

• We speak a lot: You will start speaking from day one. Even with a limited vocabulary, communication is possible. We use many partner exercises, so you will practice constantly with your fellow students.
• We listen: You will listen to authentic German texts and dialogues. This helps your ears get used to the unique sound and rhythm of the German language.
• We read and write: We read simple texts and write short messages. For example, you will learn to write a short email or a WhatsApp message in German.
• Mistakes are allowed: Do not be afraid of making mistakes. Mistakes are essential. We learn from them. Our teachers are friendly, professional, and patient. They correct you kindly and help you improve without pressure.

The atmosphere in the course is relaxed and positive. All participants are beginners. We are all in the same boat, and we help each other succeed.

Culture and Life in Germany

Language is more than just vocabulary lists and grammar rules. Language is culture. In our intensive course, we also talk about the practicalities of living in Germany.

• How does the public transport system work?
• How do you separate trash correctly? (A very important German skill!)
• What are the typical German holidays?
• What are the people in Germany like?

You are not just learning the language; you are also gaining a better understanding of the country. This helps you navigate daily life and settle in much faster. We call this Landeskunde (cultural studies). It is both interesting and incredibly practical.

Why is this course good for your Visa?

Many of our participants come from non-EU countries. They need a visa for university preparation (Studienkolleg), for job seeking, or for family reunification.

The German authorities (Embassies or the Ausländerbehörde) usually want to verify three things:

1. That you are serious about your stay.
2. That you are learning German quickly.
3. That you are attending an “Intensive Course.”

Our course comprises 25 lessons per week (Monday to Friday) and is designed to meet the usual requirements of an intensive language course. We provide you with a registration confirmation and, after successful participation, a certificate. Please note: Whether a visa is granted is decided solely by the responsible German mission abroad, on a case-by-case basis. We cannot guarantee recognition or the granting of a visa.

After the Course: What comes next?

The A1.1 course is part one. After this, you have a solid basis, but you are not finished yet. After A1.1, you can continue to the A1.2 course. Once that is complete, you have mastered the full A1 level. After that comes A2, B1, B2, and C1.

It is a long road, but the first step is the most important one. With our A1.1 Intensive Course, you are taking that first step safely and strongly. You will learn the structure of the language. You will lose the fear of speaking. You will make new friends in class. Often, participants come from all over the world, making the environment international and fun.

Sign up today. We will see you in class!

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.
