Online Learning

- A1 for beginners
- A2 for advanced beginners, and
- B1.1 and B1.2 for intermediate students
If you already have previous knowledge of German, take a placement test here.
Our Online Group Courses use real life situations to provide an authentic context in which to learn the German language. The goal of the program is to develop and/or improve the following essential skills needed to communicate: oral and written comprehension, oral and written expression, vocabulary, and grammar. The learning program consists of
- exercises that you complete on your own at your own pace and
- exercises in which you work together with the other course participants in your group.
- virtual classroom sessions with your tutor to discuss the exercises and practice communication skills.
For the course A1 no German knowledge is necessary.
Should a minimum course registration not be met, the Goethe-Institut reserves the right to cancel a course.
We offer this course in English (with the Goethe-Institut Chicago) or in French (with the Goethe-Institut Montreal - only level A1).
In English, several levels are available - take your placement test here.
