Frequently asked questions
This is entirely up to your motivation, commitment, and available time. As with any skill, the more practice you do, the quicker you’ll progress. For faster progress, sign up for an intensive German course in Zürich such as the Lingoda Sprint. Speed up your progress as well by downloading and using our Lingoda resources and by speaking and listening to as much German as possible.
Whatever your current language level, you’ll find a Lingoda German language course in Zürich that suits it. If you’re not sure about your level, take the Lingoda free placement test before you start. Our modules follow the internationally recognized CEFR (Common European Framework Reference for Languages) structure. This starts with an A1 Beginner level and progresses to the C1 Advanced Level. By this stage, you should be speaking German fluently.
During a one-to-one lesson, you’ll receive more personalized attention and feedback from the teacher. However, during group lessons, you can interact with a variety of people and tune into different accents and dialects. You can also motivate each other by recognizing and correcting each other’s errors. Group classes contain a maximum of five students so you always get plenty of chances to talk.
