Below are answers to some of the common questions in mind of students willing to join our German language course.
1. Who can join our courses?
Students or working professionals who are interested to take up further studies or a job in Germany or a German speaking country need to show their proficiency in German. Knowledge of German can prove to be an asset to look out for jobs in German based multi-national companies and help potential job applicants to move to Germany on a job-seeker visa too. Students can also learn a foreign language as a hobby. Getting an Advance Diploma or Certificate in German can also pave out new opportunities as official German language translator. In short, anyone who is interested in learning German will have no dearth of opportunities, be it in higher education or for professional development.
2. How much time does it take to complete each level?
German is an easy and well-structured language, with laid out rules for grammar. Understanding the rules and its application in different contexts will make the learning effortless and fun. Trying to memorize the language will make German learning an arduous task. We emphasize on laying a solid foundation of grammatical rules and practice its application by providing numerous examples and real world context for usage. Depending on the level, it takes approximately anywhere between 6 – 8 weeks per level, given diligent efforts on part of the student.
