Learn and Practice

Consultation Hour

We have established a fortnightly session on Zoom with one of our teachers. Here, you can directly ask the teacher any questions that remained unsanswered during course time or your self-study. This is a free service for enrolled students only. Please check your online platform or contact the language course office for up-to-date session times and access.

Placement Test

Not sure which course is right for you? Keine Sorge! The palcement test enables us to find out what previous knowledge you have, define a learing objective with you and help you select an appropriate course. Our placement test is online and free of charge.
