We teach in German starting with day one. After taking an assessment test, students are divided into appropriate classes. Classes are available at all levels. We use the levels of the European Council: A1, A2, B1, B1+, B2, C1. At the end of the course the participicant receives a certificate from the school.
Learning German - in the classroom
The tuition in our little classes is tailored to fit the needs and wishes of the students. Apart from aiming at a mastery of oral and reading comprehension and written expression, the most important goal of our courses is to improve and consolidate the fluency of each one of our students. The basis of our lessons is a practice-orientated grammar.
The topics chosen can either be general or linked to the needs of specific professions, according to the capabilities and requirements of the participants. We present our subject matter with the aid of a variety of technical resources, e.g. audiovisual, in a pleasant atmosphere - an important requirement for a successful language course.
Learning German - in leisure time
Members of our teaching team organize and accompany many varied activities for all tastes: excursions, mountain walks or cycle trips; sightseeing; visits to local businesses and companies, common dinners, parties or our weekly school-cinema.
Learning German - in practice
On request we arrange practical training for students with good knowledge of the German language after an 8-week-course in a Lindau company. We can find a suitable placement for every interest (minimum 1 month).
Learning German - through selfstudies
Our media-library offers a wide range of possibilities for individual self-instruction. Regarding your interests, your strengths and weak points, you will learn exactly what you want to intensify in addition to classes.
The media-library is equipped with computer-aided learning programmes, learning-videos, CDs and, of course all kinds of books.
