In our German intensive courses for all levels from A1 to C2 tuition takes place in very small groups. With a maximum of five students per class (with an average of three), the course is equivalent to private lessons. The learning success in small groups is also, according to the feedback of our students, many times greater than in classes with 10 or more people.
What you can expect in our intensive German courses:
- We teach Standard German with Austrian and German teachers.
- We offer small German group courses or individual language courses.
- Course start on any Monday. Length otional: you can stay for as many weeks as you would like to, with a minimum of one week.
- The course includes tuition (Mo. - Fri.) and participation in three free time programmes Monday, Tuesday and Friday afternoon or evening: Hiking, city stroll, conversation rounds, après-ski after skiing or snowboarding, etc. During these programs we of course speak German.
Our prices 2023:
Costs for accommodation are not included. The costs depend on the hotel/pension and room category you choose, board and season and vary from +/- € 50 to € 92 per night with breakfast (buffet) or € 35 without breakfast (kitchen available).
*Language lessons from Monday to Friday, starting at 09:00. Number of lessons: depending on the size of the group, there are four, three or two lessons in the morning:
- 4 x 45 minute lessons for groups of 3-4 (seldom 5 or 6) students
- 3 x 45 minute lessons for groups of 2 students
- 2 x 45 minute lessons if the student is the only one of his/her standard*
This is a very intensive learning experience. If you are the only person of your particular standard, we do not cancel your course: instead, we offer you a course with full participation in the free time programme etc., but we reduce your lesson time to 2 lessons of 45 minutes per day. You effectively get private lessons at the group rate. The 3rd and 4th lesson you can be a listening guest in another class.
** If you are staying for four weeks or more you pay € 430 per week (from the first week onwards).
