Our company's philosophy
Our philosophy is based on our name: Speak German! Our curriculum and methods are scientifically designed to help you speak German confidently in your daily life and at work.
# interactive
When learning German, we focus on practical application in your real-world situations. We believe that active interaction is the key to sustainable foreign language learning, rather than passive study of grammar and vocabulary. Our goal is to interact with you and other learners in a supportive social environment that encourages and nurtures language learning. We prioritize practicing spoken spontaneous language at all levels to work towards fluency. This is reflected in our motto: Speak German!
# speak, listen, write, read
To enhance your German communication skills, we take a comprehensive approach to learning. We integrate speaking, listening, writing, and reading skills to provide opportunities for using the language in various contexts. Our goal is to promote the use of the German language. We incorporate authentic materials, which you can also suggest, to ensure that the materials we focus on align with your personal interests and experiences.
# relevant
Our course content is designed to help you use German in relevant contexts, effectively developing your language skills and understanding of German culture. We follow the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) as our point of reference.
# individual
We employ diverse techniques to personalize the lessons and facilitate your learning experience. We acknowledge that learning is a highly individualized process, and we cater to your unique needs and pace. We promote democratic collaboration by providing ample opportunities for your opinions and ideas to be integrated into the lessons. We are interested in learning about the other languages you speak and your cultural experiences. We would like to incorporate these topics into our lessons.
# learning-focused
We teach learning strategies that suit your personal preferences and can be applied in various contexts. Our goal is to enable you to continue learning languages independently through practice-oriented projects that foster creativity, communication, and teamwork.
Effective communication in a foreign language requires the ability to spontaneously use fixed linguistic units. To achieve this goal, we train individuals to develop automatic responses that allow for quick reactions to situations and reduce uncertainties.
We hope to have given you an overview of our attitudes and approaches and are available to answer any questions you may have.
