- One of my German students has enrolled on an intensive German course. Now he would like to know if there is some kind of official exam at the end of the course.“The normal courses do not usually have an exam at the end. There are exam preparation courses where via the
schools you can then register for exams. However, the schools usually issue a certificate of attendance with the level achieved in the course.”Martin Zakostelecky, LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 12, 2024I would like to know how to select schools according to their size.

However, you will find the information for each school in their description: when you look at the list of schools, it is right below the school name.”Melanie Besnard, LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 10, 2024Are there any German language schools offering courses taught in Japanese?“There are no German language schools in Germany teaching in Japanese.

However, not every parent is ready to do this at such an early age. Everything is individual and depends on both the child and their parents. We recommend independent individual trips for children from the age of 10-12, and before this age, you can go as part of a group or with your parents/parents on a family programme (an adult can go simply as an accompanying person, or can study on their own).”Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Jul 04, 2023I am a total beginner. My goal is to attend a university in Germany. Will this be possible with a standard German course?“The standard course will help you improve your German level. It takes approximately 8-9 weeks to complete one level. There are 6 levels in the language: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. You normally have to have at least C1 level if you wish to study at a university. Therefore you might need a 40 - 45 week standard course with 20 or 30 lessons per week if you wish to reach C1 level. I do recommend you check the requirements with the university where you wish to continue your studies. ”Angela Ligartova, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Jun 20, 2023I would like to receive some information about the host family before booking, in order to see the conditions and profitability of this type of accommodation.“Please remember that it is the school, not us, that is in charge of organizing the accommodation of its students.

You reach the A2 level by following an intensive German language course for at least 8 weeks (about 4 weeks per level), provided you are an absolute beginner. If you already have some German knowledge, this could be less. Keep in mind that this is of course also very dependent on your own learning pace.”Robin Rebecca Pietersma, Dutch Consultant from LanguageCourse.net - Jul 05, 2021course destinations
