A good course book and materials are also very important. We keep up-to-date with the course book market in order to choose the best option for you.

Summer German Course in Vienna The summer course in Vienna takes place in the Jugendgästehaus Wien-Brigittenau, near the Danube and the Danube Island. The classrooms are located in the same building where the students are accommodated. Thus, the students have only short distances to class and do not have to leave the building. Intensive courses In almost all youth centers we teach intensive German courses with 30 lessons per week. The lessons are designed and created especially for young people: They are interactive and fun, yet challenging and very effective. Language levels In Vienna, we offer German courses for language levels A1 to B2 according to the Common European Framework of References for Languages Class Size Our classes consist of approx. 10 students. Such a small size ensures that individual attention is given to every single course participant. As we focus very much on the communicative approach of the language, while not neglecting grammar, we give heed to make every student talk and participate. Tests All course participants take a weekly exam which covers all the course content taught the preceding week so that students and teachers alike can assess the progress made in the German language. Homework Our students are also expected to do some homework every day, yet they will still have plenty of time for extracurricular activites.
