Frequently Asked Questions About Our German Language Courses
How long is one lesson?
In Germany one lesson is 45 minutes.
What time do the classes take place?
The lessons take place Monday to Friday from 9am till 12.30, with a half hour break at 10.30.

Individual lessons (Course Plus) also take place in the afternoon. Times will be arranged individually.
What will happen on the first day of my course?
On the first day all new students meet at 9am. They will be given general information about the school, the course program, the city etc. They will then take a level test and have a brief talk with a teacher. Beginners can usually start the lessons at 11am. In summer, when we have very many new students, they might be able to join their class only the next day at 9am. On the first day we usually offer an activity in the afternoon or evening as part of our social program.

How do I find the right group?
On the first day of the course there is a written and oral level test. Students will then be put into the appropriate group.
