The teaching approach is communicative. Students are encouraged to talk as much as possible; systematic error correction is a key concept in the school's teaching model as is the exclusive use of the target language (German) in class.

Standard Course
Munich
The Standard German language course delivered by this school at their Munich location sets you up for success from the beginning. This option represents the 20 lessons per week course, and is one of the most popular modalities due to its balance of stimulating serious progress but at the same time leaving your timetable relatively open.
Every lesson lasts for roughly 45 minutes, and the groups have a maximum capacity of 12 - although in practice their average numbers are 7 people per group. Keeping classes small in this way benefits participants by letting them learn in an environment where it’s easy to speak up and be heard - especially useful when it comes to getting your burning questions answered.
Please note that the timetable of the classes can change depending on the season, so please consult the school for confirmation.
