General German + Conversation 28 lessons per week
Levels: Pre-Intermediate - Level A2, Intermediate - Level B1, Upper Intermediate - Level B2, Advanced - Level C1, Proficient - Level C2
The Premium Course is the ideal possibility to acquire and improve German knowledge very fast. Especially if you plan to stay only for a short period of time, you can still reach more learning goals than in other types of courses. This is not at all surprising – after all, the Premium Course covers 28 lessons per week and is the most comprehensive group course we can offer. The specialty of the Premium Course, however, is that it combines a dynamic group atmosphere with an utmost individual learning flexibility: We expect your contributions, your personal suggestions and ideas, you tell us what you need to study, what you want to learn, or where you still feel having some problems.
Far more than in all the other courses, in the Premium Course you and the other students will become the main characters in class, because the course focuses on your participation and relies on your contributions. The educational concept intends to motivate you using the language automatically and intuitively – both in normal, almost everyday situations and in different contexts of professional, work and university situations. In the afternoons, we focus on your individual requests and on your needs regarding additional explanations, practice and exercises: How exactly did this work – the dative case, the passive voice and subjunctive? What are the names for these parts of the car or the computer? What are the linguistic terms for argumentation? You’ve got 4 lessons per week to figure that out!
Timetable
If you decide taking a Premium Course you are studying very intensively and are spending more time at the institute – after all, you’ve decided to make fast progress and to improve your German language in a very short time! You will see – your success is going to reward you. It also feels good to realize after only a couple of days how much more familiar you became already with the language and how much more confidence you have gained. Your instruction will end at 2:30 pm. The rest of the day belongs to you …you deserve it! Sometimes, mostly during the summer months, when the school has reached a maximum capacity, we also offer instruction – usually scheduled in the mornings – on some afternoons between 1:00 and 6:00 pm.
