The Superintensive German Course is perfect for anyone who wants to improve and intensify their German language skills. This course is divided into two parts: in the morning you have normal group lessons and in the afternoon you practice your oral skills in a group with the support of one of our professional German teachers. In these lessons you will discuss different topics in the group, e.g. books you have read, you will discuss a topic or prepare presentations. Accordingly, you can improve your presentation skills and your cultural knowledge in this course. Success is guaranteed!

We offer intensive German courses at all levels, from A1 to C2.

The intensive German course takes place Monday to Friday (09:00 to 13:00 or 13:15 to 17:15).

Superintensive German + Conversation Course

Our Superintensive Course (+ Conversation) with 30 hours per week is suitable for you if you would like to work on your language skills in particular. In addition to the usual group course in the morning, you will devote ten additional hours to discussions, presentations, and book reviews based on the respective coursebook. For example, readings about Heidelberg are read together, edited, and then presented to the class. The fastest possible learning success is guaranteed here!

We recommend this course mainly to students attending our school for a shorter period of a maximum of 4 weeks, due to the high workload involved. Our Superintensive Course is also more suitable for students at A2 level and above. In addition to the 30 hours per week, you will need the same amount of follow-up time for tasks such as homework.

PRICE for educational course: from € 210 per week
