FAQ
Even after completing intensive courses at levels A2, B1, B2, or C1, many people still struggle with speaking confidently. Conversation classes are designed to help you integrate the grammar and vocabulary you've learned into real conversations. The more you practice, the better you'll become at expressing yourself, understanding others, and building fluency.
2. What should I book a single class or monthly membership?
We offer a single class as a trial, allowing you to see if this format suits your needs. However, fluency comes with regular practice. Just after a monthly membership, you will notice real improvements in your speaking skills.

A monthly membership includes 4 speaking practice classes. You will have the opportunity to engage in conversation with others, improve your German skills, and receive feedback from our tutors.
4. What language levels are accepted?
Our speaking classes are ideal for learners at A2 level and above. We offer two groups: A2-B1 and B2-C1, high levels are led by a native speaker.

The focus is on real-life situations to make your learning practical and enjoyable. Topics and questions are thoughtfully prepared by our tutor, who has a background in philosophy, adding depth and relevance to each discussion.
