The evening courses are divided into two parts per level, with each part covering 24 units over a duration of 6 weeks. For example, a level such as A2.1 can be completed in a total of 48 units (approximately 3 months).

Speaking the language is key!
Our lessons are characterised by a very playful yet focused approach, which will make it easier for you to immerse into the language. At TRANSMITTER, we do a lot of speaking activities and will always focus on communication.
Besides working with standard textbooks, we combine different teaching techniques which will help you understand the specific features and structures in a natural way.
From role plays to dialogues, from video clips to newspaper articles – we use different materials to encourage you to use the language in context.
Of course, all of OUR TEACHERS are highly qualified native speakers with a special degree in teaching German as a foreign language. So, naturally, our German courses are held entirely in German to ensure a maximum exposure to the language.
All of our courses are based on the standards of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and prepare our students for independent language tests such as TELC, Test DaF, etc. This means that our courses impart all skills that should be acquired for the different levels of language proficiency –from listening comprehension to grammar and speaking.

The A1 level is divided into two sub-levels:
The beginner’s course A1.1 introduces you to everyday expressions and very basic phrases in German. You will learn to introduce yourself, provide personal information, order food and drinks, ask for help, and ask for directions. You will also be able to interact in everyday situations as long as the other person speaks slowly and clearly and is willing to assist. In this course, we will focus on basic sentence structure in key phrases, learn new vocabulary for simple conversations, and practice listening comprehension. The A1 level is divided into two parts: A1.1 and A1.2.
The A2 level is divided into two sub-levels:
The beginner’s course A2 aims at expanding your language skills acquired in A1. You will learn to understand the main points of clear standard input on familiar matters encountered at work, in class, or during leisure activities. The course will help you handle common situations in everyday life and provide you with useful phrases and expressions related to areas of immediate relevance, such as shopping, employment, or registering at offices or banks. In this course, we will focus on communication in simple and routine tasks that require a direct exchange of information on familiar matters. The course is designed for beginners who have already studied the basics of the German language (A1). The A2 level consists of two parts: A2.1 and A2.2.
The B1 level is divided into two sub-levels:
The intermediate B1 course is designed to deepen your language skills. In this course, you will learn to understand the main messages of clearly formulated sentences in general language situations at work, in class, or during leisure time. The course helps you react appropriately in everyday situations and successfully navigate tasks such as ordering food and drinks or planning travel. The course is meant for learners who already have a basic vocabulary in German and builds up on their previous knowledge of the language. The B1 level consists of two parts: B1.1 and B1.2.
The B2 level is divided into two sub-levels:
B2 is the right class for you if you’d like to expand your language skills. The course helps students understand the main statements of complex facts in everyday situations, as well as abstract explanations. In this course you will consolidate your grammatical knowledge, systematically develop abstract vocabulary, and acquire new language skills to interact fluently and easily with native speakers. The focus is on understanding more complex texts on familiar topics and improving spontaneous oral expression, including idiomatic idiosyncrasies of the language. The B2 level consists of parts B2.1 and B2.2.
The C1 level is divided into two sub-levels:
The C1 level consists of two parts: C1.1 and C1.2. The C1 level focuses on competent language use. In this course, students will learn to grasp a wide range of demanding, longer texts, as well as their implicit meanings. Authentic literary texts, for example, are used in the course. In addition to textual comprehension, the focus is on the student’s oral production. Participants learn to express themselves spontaneously and fluently, use structured and detailed language to discuss complex issues, and employ various means of connecting texts. They also develop the ability to use German effectively and flexibly in different social or professional contexts.
