Our class programming follows a full school year format. Our academic year is divided into two semesters, starting with the fall semester. We do recommend taking the full year for the best learning experience. Throughout the school year, our teachers focus on speaking and listening, reading and writing, and grammar and vocabulary so that you can start communicating in German with confidence at work, in your community, and on your travels.
We also offer a summer class that focuses on conversational German. This is a great class for those traveling in the near future and who are looking for more intense speaking and listening training.
Summer classes are held online.
All of our class sessions are held on Saturdays. Class times may vary. Here are the times for our current semester:

All our classes are based on the academic year, starting in the fall and ending with the spring semester. Summer classes are conversational in nature and designed to enhance the regular fall and spring semesters – please see our calendar of classes.
Are you wondering which class is right for you?
A beginner or novice language skill (A1 CEFR) describes a learner who is just starting out to learn German. You might already have some basic words or phrases under your belt but you are unable to speak or write in complete sentences.
An intermediate language skill (A2 and B1 CEFR) refers to being able to read, speak and write in German on familiar topics related to your daily life in simple sentences but with some difficulty.
Speakers on an advanced language level (B2 and C1 CEFR) are able to read, write, listen, and speak in German fluently and without hesitation on a variety of topics of personal, national and international interest with native speakers.
