What makes online private lessons the ideal choice for learning success?
Online private lessons are ideal for you if you want to learn flexibly and individually. Your teacher will tailor the lessons entirely to your goals and wishes – whether you want to improve your dialect, perfect your pronunciation or strengthen your listening comprehension. The schedule is also flexible, so you can decide for yourself when and how often you want to learn. And no matter where you are – whether at home, in the office or in a café – the lessons come directly to you. The individual pace allows you to focus on the topics that are important to you. The focus here is on your success – without compromise and exactly according to your needs. Take a look at the courses!
How long do the courses usually take?
Our online courses are designed with flexibility in mind:
Group courses: Typically run for several weeks, depending on the level.
Private lessons: The duration and frequency are entirely up to you.
What are immersion courses and how do they help you make rapid progress?
Immersion courses are like a language boot camp – intensive, direct and incredibly effective. Each session lasts 3 hours, during which you are completely immersed in the world of Swiss German. High German is left out, because here it’s all about dialect – without distractions and with full concentration. The best thing about it: you decide how often and on which days you want to take part.
The content is tailored specifically to your goals – whether you want to improve your listening comprehension, perfect your pronunciation or master everyday situations with confidence. In addition, there is a practice-oriented approach with role plays, everyday scenarios and speaking exercises that make learning lively and tangible. Supported by authentic audio examples and material from everyday life in Switzerland, you will not only learn the language, but also the culture behind it. It is precisely this combination that makes immersion courses so effective – and you will see results quickly.
Can I also learn Swiss German online as a beginner?
Yes, absolutely! We offer special courses for beginners that focus on the basics. Step by step, you will learn to express yourself confidently in everyday life.
