Learning German in Heidelberg over 6 or 10 months enables both students and adults alike to gain in depth knowledge of the German language and ensures maximum progress. This challenging German language course is suitable for beginners to low intermediate students who wish to achieve proficiency in the language. It is ideal for those who wish to take the TestDaF or Telc exams.

The morning lessons cover core acquisition of the various language competences in different language learning groups (levels A1 to C2) and offers either standard German across all levels, or from B2 level, exam preparation classes.

Additionally the afternoon lessons allow students to deepen their knowledge (depending on their current language level) with additional skills based lessons; grammar classes and conversation classes (A1 to C2 ability) or exam preparation for the TestDaF, Telc or DSH (level B2+).

We know you will love the long term courses in Heidelberg – it’s such a fabulous place.  It offers a vibrant University town feel, very student orientated, but is also very attractive, with the river Necker rolling slowly past it (green lawns leading down the water’s edge and boats meandering past – lovely!).  The school is right in the heart of Heidelberg and attracts several thousand students each year to study German long term, looking to make maximum linguistic progress AND receive a certificate at the end of the course, so they can prove it!

Once you are in Heidelberg you will be able to absorb the sights and sounds of the language, out in the city, seeing the sights, talking to locals but nothing will beat the impact that structured classes with native speakers, trained to teach German as a foreign language in the school will have.  For 25 or 40 weeks, you will have to use ONLY German in the school.  Classes are offered Monday to Friday and are tailored so that they are right for your language level.  Students are always placed in groups according to their language level – so you won’t find yourself learning German with someone who is significantly better at the language than you.  The combination of modern teaching methods, professional teachers and sharing the experience with other language students from around the world makes the whole process fun, but more importantly effective!
