The basis of instruction is the modern usage of the German language and focuses on developing the understanding of both spoken and written language as well as the ability to express oneself orally and in writing. The teaching follows a clear progression and is geared to train grammar and sentence structures and expand vocabulary. The alternating of teaching methods guarantees optimum learning success. In individual, partner or group work students train their reading and listening comprehension as well as written and oral expression. In the foreground is oral communication, which students can put into practice not only in role plays, language learning games and discussions but also in the leisure activities with teachers. Regular tests integrated into the lessons allow course participants to assess their own progress. Class size will never exceed 12, but normally classes are composed of 4-8 international students.

After completion of the intermediate level, they can acquire the Zentrale Mittelstufenprüfung and following the advanced level the Zentrale Oberstufenprüfung.
