An intensive German course combines frequent lessons with clearly structured goals. You practise speaking, listening, reading and writing and receive regular personal feedback.
The intensive format is ideal if you want to improve your German quickly for work, university, everyday life or an upcoming exam.
Depending on the format, you learn daily in a small group or in focused private lessons. Content, level and pace are aligned with the course goal.
The duration depends on the format and your learning goal. Group courses follow a fixed schedule, while private tuition can be arranged individually.
Lessons combine spoken communication, listening, vocabulary, grammar, reading and writing, with a strong focus on confident use in everyday and professional situations.
Our group courses have an average of only 3–4 participants, leaving plenty of time for active speaking, focused practice and personal feedback.
Available delivery formats are listed with each course. Depending on the offer, you can learn live online, in Zurich or in individual lessons at your location.
