You can not quite imagine how our Online Courses would work? We offer a range of courses for Beginners and Advanced Learners as a test version.
For all who like their things to be balanced: 50% Live Chats, 50% Independent Learning.
We have revamped our usual courses into online formats. Previously planned lessons will take place in a virtual class room. For this purpose, the Goethe-Institut will make use of the communication tool Adobe Connect, which entails no additional costs to you. Your teacher will give you an introduction. Regular Terms and Conditions apply.

You will receive access to our online platform, where you can find the online segment of your chosen course. This online segment contains motivating and versatile exercises, flash cards to train your vocabulary and summaries of all important grammatical structures and useful phrases, you are learning in your course.
Your online tutor will give you weekly training exercises, which you can flexibly complete over the course of the week. These exercises will prepare you for your live sessions, in which you will meet your class mates. Most online activities will be done individually, but there are also interactive exercises, during which you will interact with your learners group on the online platform. These group activities include among others, small texts about your hobbies, interests or upcoming events. During these activities you will also join group discussions and comment texts of your class mates.
