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.

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.
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.
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.
As a Japanese professional in Zurich, I was anxious about my limited German. The A1 course made it manageable: short video lessons fit my schedule, and my private teacher patiently guided me through pronunciation challenges. I especially appreciated the clear explanations of grammar, something very important for Japanese learners like me. After three months, I can now greet colleagues and order meals with confidence.
I was nervous about starting from zero, but the mix of short video lessons, lots of bite-size exercises, and one-to-one coaching meant I was speaking in our building’s lift by week two. I could book lessons after work and lean on the 24/7 AI tutor whenever grammar tripped me up. The progress bar kept me moving, and taking the final telc-style mock made the real exam feel familiar.
I’ve tried group classes, this is different. Having one dedicated teacher guiding me and an AI that answers instantly meant no waiting when I got stuck. I loved the vocabulary + grammar sheets for quick refreshers. I went from ‘Sprechen Sie Englisch?’ to ordering at the bakery with confidence.
The course is digital-first, but never impersonal. I always got a reply within 24 hours when I messaged a question, and lessons over video call were focused and fun. The blend of human coaching + gamified course is exactly what finally got me speaking naturally.
I travel a lot. Being able to schedule or reschedule up to 24 hours in advance meant I never lost momentum. Between trips I hammered through interactive exercises, then used the private lessons to fix weak spots fast. The result: clearer emails and more confident calls with Swiss colleagues.
A2 grammar finally clicked here: dative vs. accusative, Konjunktiv II, and past tenses were explained, practiced, and then drilled in speaking with my tutor. Because the mock exam copied the official exam format, I went into the test calm and prepared.
I joined the A2 German course to improve my workplace communication. The combination of AI support, structured exercises, and private coaching via Google Meet helped me progress much faster than with group classes. The mock telc exam gave me confidence, and I passed the official test on my first attempt. Now, I can write professional emails and contribute more actively in meetings.
