GERMAN CLASSES ONLINE
-PERSONALISED COURSES-

– Learning with Karin Hahn –

Language learning is a gradual process, talking and listening, reading and writing.

Working online from home or workplace with a video link via Webex it is possible to talk, to listen to audio, watch video material, or write and draw in a one to one situation without the distractions of group based classroom teaching and avoiding the time-consuming business of travelling to classes.

Whether learning German as an absolute beginner, some-one refreshing old skills, or polishing and developing their abilities, steady but regular improvements are gained from the proven method of working purely in German from the very first lesson.

Following a personally planned course of online classes brings immediate results, especially if students follow up each class with a little homework to learn the vocabulary, or grammar covered.
 Beginning with a free one hour consultation to assess your current abilities and particular needs, the courses are planned as one hour classes, once, or maybe twice a week. Each one hour class costs €30 and are booked in blocks of 5 classes costing €150. An invoice will be sent to you, or your employer for payment by bank transfer in Germany, or via Paypal for students located elsewhere.

While many organisations do use English at work, for anyone based in Germany, or working with German speaking clients, being able to talk to colleagues and clients in their own language is immediately beneficial and acquiring a working knowledge German may be even more important for spouses and family members also living in Germany. The ability to write good clear German is invaluable.It is never too soon to start and anyone expecting to move to Germany is well advised to start learning the language before they travel.

 Whatever your goal, whether to progress through the assessed level of abilities from A1 & A2, B1 & B2, or C1 & C2, the classes could lead you to formal assessment via the Goethe Institute examinations, or simply improve your knowledge of German to a level that suites your personal needs and aspirations.

Client Testimonials

The language learnt in the course is helping me settle into my everyday life in a new country. I am learning and understanding basics of the German language, how to communicate easy information and how to process information from a shop, to a restaurant, to a sign on the street. I had none of this before and felt as though I was living in a bubble.
