German courses in Frankfurt

We teach German as a foreign language

The German language is spoken by approximately 150 million people worldwide. Of these, over 100 million are native speakers, making German the most widely spoken mother tongue in the European Union. Due to its many dialects and dialectal varieties, German is not easy to learn, but it also offers enormous literary possibilities. Goethe and Schiller already expressed this with legendary poetry. German is the official language and lingua franca of Germany, Austria and Switzerland in particular, but also of other countries such as Liechtenstein, Luxembourg and parts of northern Italy. In addition, Germany is an important trading partner for many European and non-European countries and one of the most important export countries in the world. The German language is particularly widespread in the fields of literature, research and science. A German course opens new doors and offers the opportunity to meet like-minded people to learn together and exchange experiences.

Whether for studying in Germany, for your job or for everyday life - learn German in Frankfurt and apply your acquired language skills directly on site! The language course "German as a Foreign Language" is aimed at learners at all levels who want to learn or improve their German.
