Our intensive evening classes are taught at our central London campus and delivered by qualified native German speakers. Join our supportive community and build the skills and confidence to speak, read and write German.
From basic sessions for beginners to more advanced training, we’ve designed our face-to-face German courses to get progressively more challenging. Each level consists of three parts with various classes – it’s your choice whether you take them separately or enrol on the full year for the best value.
Whether learning a language is a New Year’s resolution or you want a confidence boost before travelling over summer, our courses are a great way to pick up new skills. Start dates available in October, January and April/May and all taught at our campus in the heart of the City of London.
