Open German Courses

German Intensive Courses

Our intensive courses offer a comprehensive approach to learning German for your professional needs, studies, school or personal environment. With short-term courses, you can quickly gain basic German skills or improve your existing knowledge. Our long-term courses will help you to systematically build your German knowledge and achieve your target language level.

In addition to intensive group lessons, you can continue to practice and deepen your German skills in our digital learning lab. To round off your language learning experience, we also offer a variety of leisure-time programs.

Upon request, we can arrange a carefully selected accommodation and an airport transfer for you.

We have two Intensive Course options for you: Standard and Premium.

The German Intensive Course Standard has 20 training units per week. Please note that we recommend the Standard course for autonomous learners who study regularly and continuously at home after classes.  

In our German Intensive Course Premium, you will improve your language skills in the afternoon with four additional training units per week. Your grammar skills will be trained intensively and your writing skills improved. Through the additional training, you will gain more confidence in your language use and reach your goal faster.

In our Training Center in Radolfzell, only the Premium course is available.
