I have never studied German. Where do I start?
At A1. That level assumes no previous knowledge at all.
Frequently asked questions
If your question is not here, write to us — the answer usually ends up here too.
How do I find out which level suits me?
The placement test is still being built. Until then, send an enquiry and a teacher places you in conversation.
Are you an official examination centre?
No. Goethe-Institut, telc and ÖSD are independent providers. We prepare you for their exams, but we have no partnership with them and issue none of their certificates. You register for the exam directly with the provider.
What language are classes taught in?
In German, from the first hour, with as much explanation in a language you know as is needed at the start. This website exists in four languages; the language of instruction is a separate matter.
Can I skip a level?
If placement supports it, yes. The Framework describes what you can do, not which courses you attended.
What happens to the details I put in the form?
They are used only to reply to this enquiry.
