Anna's course was great for me to learn German as I was very busy with my job during this time. I loved that I could book my private lessons in the evenings after work and choose the times that were best for me each week. This course is the most flexible one I ever had and I loved it.

Wealth & Asset Manager
When I moved to Switzerland I wanted to learn German as fast as possible. I liked that I could learn more or less depending on my schedule. The personal support of my teacher when I had questions and the private language lessons really helped me to get to A1 asap.

Chemical Engineer
I loved this German course as it was perfectly designed for my needs. The flexible online classes and self-paced modules allowed me to learn at my own pace, even before arriving in Switzerland. Moreover, the promptness of receiving the letter of enrollment for my visa paperwork was great! Being able to get everything sorted before immigrating gave me such peace of mind and allowed me to fully focus on my language studies. If you're looking for a high-quality, flexible German course that truly understands your needs, I can't recommend this one enough.
