Course Overview

Online German Levels 5&6 is an Elementary German course for students who are already in the process of learning German. This is an intensive German course allowing you to take two German levels in 6 weeks and progress more quickly. Online German Levels 5&6 requires that you have previously studied German Level 4 or a course of at least 48 class hours. If you’re unsure of your level, then take our quick German language level test here, or check our level chart.

Our Online German language classes take place via Zoom with a qualified, experienced teacher and fellow students. The interactive lessons emulate our face-to-face classes, and via teacher screen-sharing, students are able to experience a live classroom environment. From vocabulary activities and covering grammar points on the white board, to listening exercises, file sharing and ‘break-out rooms’ to practise speaking with classmates, students can learn without leaving the comfort of their homes. Take a look at an example of one of our online classes in this video.
