Information on the organization of this course

Be inspired and learn Swiss German with the professionals at Sprachschule Schneider!

This course is guaranteed to take place, no matter how many participants are enrolled. This is possible at no extra cost thanks to a flexible linear adjustment of lesson length, based on the principle: the fewer participants, the more intensive the lesson; the more participants, the longer the lesson. If the lesson is held with reduced length, you will receive individually tailored supplementary practice opportunities.

The lesson length is proportionally determined by the number of participants. Here the following options apply:
6–8 participants: 120 minutes
4–5 participants: 90 minutes
2–3 participants: 60 minutes
1 participant: 40 minutes

Thanks to the supplementary exercises, the learning progress is approximately equivalent across all options.
