The following information is intended for all those who want to get quickly familiar with the peculiarities of Germany and who want to gain a foothold in the long term.
Learn German in a group
Those who prefer to learn in the group and thus benefit from collective experiences are most effective in learning the language when choosing a language school with small class size (max of 10). This usually ensures a high attention for a language student by the teacher and the learner gets often the opportunity to speak in class. This kind of language courses are usually quite expensive, or must be financed with a high proportion by the learners own contribution. This courses are offered by private language schools such as the Sprachinstitut TREFFPUNKT Bamberg. However, possibly cheaper offers can be found in many German cities ...
- So-called integration courses ("Integrationskurse") are state-subsidized language courses, designed as a full-time course covering a longer period of time (700 hrs, about 3 month). Since the classes are often large (more than 20 participants) and learners of different language levels have lessons together, the progress of learning is often very slow. However, the costs for the participants are also very low.
If you want to get more information about integration courses, you will find a four-language documentation below Integrationskurse.de of the state owned Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF). - Are there other price-reduced or free German courses offered? In order to answer this question, we recommend to contact the so-called Ausländerbeirat (Advisory Council for Foreigners) or Integrationsbeirat (Integration Council), which is now today in almost every city or Bezirksverwaltung (area administration). For example: the foreigner and integration adviser of the city of Würzburg. The first stop is the town hall or the employment agency. Many private initiatives also offer courses and aids such as the deutschkurse.initiativgruppe.de in Munich
