Learning success
Experience has shown that the long-term participants of our intensive German courses achieve outstanding results. This is due to the small number of participants with only 7-12 students. Also small groups allow a more flexible and careful mix of participants, so that you are neither over- nor underchallenged, but benefit fully from your German course!
Thanks to our group concept with adaptable lesson length, our intensive German courses can even start with fewer participants.
