Intensive German courses in Berlin

Learn German intensively

Learn German quickly and effectively, online or in person, from experienced and committed native German teachers. Our courses emphasize language skills such as conversation, grammar, vocabulary, listening and writing.

By the way: during the summer (July and August), our Morning Intensive Courses are called Summer Courses and include many cultural activities, alongside German class.

Our specialized Intensive German Courses for Work are recognized by the Berlin Bildungsurlaubsgesetz (BiUrlG) and are comprised of 30 lesson units per week.

If you already have previous knowledge of German, we will administer a written and oral placement exam to find the right level for you.
