What is the difference between a standard course and an intensive course?

With the standard course, you complete half a language level (e.g. A1/1) within one month. With the intensive course, you complete an entire language level (e.g. A1 = A1/1 + A1/2) within one month.

All our language levels are divided into two separate courses (e.g. A1 is split into A1.1 and A1.2), with each course lasting one month. To successfully complete a level, both parts of the course must be attended. We offer two main types of courses to meet different learning needs:

Standard Course:

This course takes place three times a week (Monday to Friday), with each lesson lasting 90 minutes. In this format, you will complete the first half of a language level, such as A1.1, within one month. This option is ideal for those who prefer a moderate learning pace and have other commitments in addition to their language studies.

Intensive Course:

The intensive course is held six times a week (Monday to Friday), with each lesson also lasting 90 minutes. The schedule is organized so that on one day of the week, two lessons take place, while on the other days, only one lesson is held. In this course, you will complete the entire language level, e.g., A1.1 and A1.2, within just one month. This course is designed for learners who want to make rapid progress and can dedicate more time to their studies. The structure of the week ensures a balanced workload: The day with two lessons allows for a deeper engagement with the material, while on the other days, there is enough time to process and review the material. This course is particularly suitable for those who wish to quickly expand their language skills and are willing to dedicate a larger portion of their time to learning.

Variations:

We also offer flexible course combinations. For example, you can enroll in an intensive course that includes A1.2 and A2.1, or choose a mix of standard and intensive courses. If you prefer a longer learning path, you can also enter a semester course, where you complete 2 months as intensive courses and the remaining months as standard courses. This semi-intensive semester course option allows you to reach language levels A1 to B2 in just 6 months.

In addition to the 90 minutes of classroom instruction, participants must also complete a significant portion of homework on our online learning platform. This ensures that the learning process goes beyond the classroom, and students spend at least as much time on exercises and assignments at home. This combination of face-to-face instruction and self-study ensures that you make continuous progress and fully absorb the material.
