In the German Saturday courses you can learn or improve your listening, writing, reading and conversation skills once a week according to the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference). 

The course is particularly suitable for working people who want to learn the language continuously. To ensure that you make rapid progress, only German is spoken in class.

If you are thinking about taking a certificate exam, you can also book Goethe exam training for your respective level.

Course implementation

Our group courses are held regularly with a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 12 participants.

If there are less than 4 participants, it is important to us not to cancel the course, but to ensure that you can learn as planned. Therefore, we simply run the course as a small group with fewer lessons.

  • with 3 participants, 70% of the lessons take place
  • with 2 participants, 50% of the lessons take place
  • with only one participant, we are happy to organize private lessons.

You will achieve your planned learning goal in this exclusive private group in the same way. Alone, in pairs or in threes, you will make faster progress with the course content. During the lessons, you can contribute more and the teacher can take more time for each student and support you more individually.

The first week of the course is a trial period. At the end of the week, a decision is made based on the number of participants as to whether a course will be run regularly, shortened or split into two groups. If you do not agree, we will look for another solution together.

Target group

The German Standard Saturday courses are aimed at perons who would like to learn German continuously in addition to their main job. You can complete this course with a 100% workload. 

You should spend about 4 hours a week on homework.

For the courses A1-B2 you can redeem the education voucher of the canton Basel-Stadt once.
