Review: New digital A1 German course

The best new Digital A1 German Course is offered by German Academy Zurich. Designed for expats and beginners in Switzerland, it combines a self-paced learning platform with private one-on-one lessons for fast, flexible progress toward A1-level proficiency.

Whether you’re learning German to meet Swiss visa requirements, need to prepare for the telc or Goethe A1 exam, or simply want to settle in more comfortably, German Academy Zurich offers the ideal starting point. Our digital A1 German course is tailored for busy expats, combining guided video instruction with personalized tutoring and mobile-friendly access.

If you’re looking for a beginner German course for Switzerland that fits into your life, this program stands out. You get all the tools you need: grammar help, vocabulary lists, and a private teacher just a click away so that you can build real confidence in German for everyday life.

So let's take a closer look – how does this course actually look like:

Our course consists of 40 Chapters. Each chapter covers an important German A1 topic and consist of many individual lessons. Whenever a new Grammar topic is introduced you will see an explanation video with me and a practice section where you can practice what you have just learned. At the end of 10 chapters you will see a “schedule your language lesson button” where you can schedule your one-on-one private lesson at a date and time convenient for you. Additionally, you will find a “contact the teacher” button at the end of each chapter, so that you can contact your private teacher anytime if you have any question in between your one-on-one session”. 

On which devices can you take the course?

You can practice at home from your computer or on the go from your tablet and mobile phone. This offers you full flexibility and freedom to study whenever and wherever you like. With the “contact the teacher” button you basically have a language teacher in your pocket with direct access to ask questions at ANY time.

I needed to reach German A2 proficiency to apply for my C residence permit. Thanks to the exceptional support of my teacher and the flexibility of the course, which allowed me to learn from the comfort of my home, I made rapid progress.
