German Intensive Courses in Hamburg

Our German intensive courses will help you get into the German language and culture swiftly and successfully. Our keen and excellent language trainers teach in small groups and give expert support for the four language skills listening and reading comprehension, writing, and especially, speaking. They use teaching books especially designed for your particular language learning level, adding other up-to-date training materials.

Being an authorized examination centre we have aligned our German language courses with the examinations for the telc Deutsch A1, telc Deutsch B1, telc Deutsch B2, telc Deutsch C1 Hochschule and the TestDaF. Our language trainers hold an invigilator's license and have extensive experience with TestDaF preparation courses. Thus they are well familiar with these tests will use content that is relevant of the exams in class.

HINT: The telc exams for B1 and B2 are run on a regular basis on the last day of each term, and, on special dates, the telc exams for A1 and C1 Hochschule . You can add these to your booking at a special price, if you wish.

At levels A1 to B1 our courses run for 20 class hours weekly.
In order to prepare you best for your studies or your professional career, we run our courses at levels B2 and C1 for 25 class hours per week. That way, along with a thorough grammar instruction, you have more time to train the intricacies of the German language on your way to proficiency. 

TIP: One level takes 8 weeks to finish at our school. We offer you this for a special 8-week price (see below)!

Are you looking for accommodation for the time of your language course? We will obviously be there to help you. You have the choice between a single room in private household or a hotel. There's more information here.
