What does German Online Training include?

German Online Training is an online course to help you learn German independently. This course will enable you to move up an entire language level.

Learn German independently
The training is divided into chapters that cover current and everyday topics and teach you the vocabulary and grammar you need to understand them.
You'll learn German without a teacher and practice independently with a wide range of exercises, e.g. videos, images, audio files, reading texts and cloze texts. The German Online Training focuses on listening and reading skills. You'll practice your writing skills with cloze exercises but you won't specifically practice your speaking skills.

Placement test to determine your language level
If you're not sure what level of German you have, you can complete our free placement test.
Select a placement test instead of a level during the booking process. The appropriate German Online Training level (A1, A2, B1, B2 or C1) is then unlocked depending on your score.

Support
On the learning platform you will find helpful info boxes next to the exercises. In these, the respective task is explained to you in your support language.
