For over 40 years, we’ve been teaching people from all over the world – whether for university, work, or everyday life in Germany. Thanks to our experience and hands-on approach, learning German becomes clear, motivating, and effective. You’ll train all key skills with us: speaking, listening, reading, writing, and grammar. In small groups (8–15 participants), you’ll learn with dedicated professionals – personally, effectively, and at every level from A1 to C2, starting throughout the year, in the morning, afternoon, or evening.

The book is also available as an online version completely free of charge. In the higher levels, we use Vielfalt from Huber. The online license can be bought online in the BlinkShop at blinklearning.
