Conversation classes German - Find a teacher

Practice speaking with a personal teacher, gaining lesson by lesson access to personalized learning materials

Our German conversation classes are flexible and practical, ideal for students who already studied German before on A1 or A2 level and need to become confident in speaking or writing.

Since many Germans, Austrians, and Swiss will switch to English when speaking with foreigners, it can be challenging to find somebody to practise German with. We see that many of our students therefore lack the practice needed to really gain the confidence required for daily work or private life.

How do conversation classes work?

Language learning is not a straight journey from point A to point B. From A2 onwards, it could be that you still struggle with some A1 topics while already knowing notions of B1 or even B2. This is why we customize your learning path and highly recommend private conversation classes for levels of B1 and up.

What if I am busy?

Our conversation classes have flexible schedules with a 48-hour cancellation notice. This means that with our private classes you can every week agree with your teacher when to meet. You just need to indicate your availability in our portal and your teacher can schedule classes in your slots.

Your German classes are personalized!

In our online German conversation classes, you have the flexibility to discuss any topic that interests you. From work-related discussions to conversations about German-speaking culture, daily life, or current events, your classes will be tailored to your personal interests and goals. Although personalized, we do follow Goethe / TELC / TestDaF guidelines.

Are these German conversation classes recommended for beginners?

For complete beginners or students who only studied with learning apps or books, we recommend our structured group courses to first gain a solid basis in German grammar and vocabulary. During our group courses you study German with a small group of maximum 5 other students. Group courses take 3 to 6 months per language level, with 2 or 4 lesson hours per week.

If you have a busy and changing schedule, we also offer A1 and A2 German private conversation classes, and you can invite a partner or colleagues to split the course costs. The advantage is, that the class schedule stays flexible.

Choose Your Teacher: Germany, Austria, or Switzerland

If you have experienced living in German-speaking countries, you know how many regional accents and dialects exist. This is why it is important to have a teacher who can also explain these differences.

• Teachers from Germany: Learn German as spoken in Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Munich, or other regions with their unique accents.
• Teachers from Austria: Alternatively, choose a teacher from Austria and experience Viennese German or other Austrian variations.
• Teachers from Switzerland: Learn with a Swiss teacher to understand Swiss German and its soft, melodic intonation.
