German afternoon course Basel – learn German in the afternoon

At the NSH language school's German afternoon course, you study on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 15:00 to 16:45. The course runs for 20 weeks and comprises 80 lessons. Since lessons are conducted exclusively in German, you are fully immersed in the language from the very first session.

Alongside grammar and vocabulary, you train listening, reading, writing and speaking – all tailored to your language level. Course materials, homework support and conversation sessions are all included in the course fee.

Levels A1 to B2 – which German afternoon course is right for you?

The German afternoon course covers levels A1, A2, B1 as well as B2.1 and B2.2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). Since B2 is a particularly extensive level, we split it into two courses – so you learn at your own pace without any gaps.

Not sure where you stand? Start with the 👉 Online placement test. It takes around 20 minutes and gives you an initial assessment of your written language skills. Send the result to [email protected] – we will get back to you promptly.

German Afternoon Course Basel: Times, Schedule and Holidays

Conversation A2 – B1 (optional)

Our group courses run with a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 12 participants. If fewer than 4 people enrol, we continue the course as a small group with an adjusted number of lessons: with 3 participants, 70% of lessons are held; with 2 participants, 50%. For a single enrolment, we are happy to arrange private lessons. In smaller groups, you get to contribute much more often – and the teacher has more time for you personally.

The first week of the course is a trial phase. After that, we decide together whether the course continues as normal, is adjusted or split into two groups. If you are not happy with the solution, we will find an alternative together.

The course does not take place during school holidays.
