Discover the benefits of a German LANGUAGE course at the Heine DEUTSCH-Institut.

The Heine Deutsch-Institut's differentiated admissions test accurately classifies course participants according to their current knowledge level. This allows us to form small and highly homogeneous classes. Furthermore, individual knowledge gaps can be identified and addressed during the course. We can do this with you during group lessons or through additional individual online tutoring.

This way, all course participants, from beginners to advanced learners, learn at the level that suits them and are effectively supported by teachers on their journey to their desired learning goals.

You will learn a lot, and the classes will always be interesting and fun.

Additional benefits of German language courses at the Heine DEUTSCH-Institut

Linguistic immersion

In our classes, everyone speaks only German. This means students are immersed in the German language from the very beginning. Classes last several hours, which helps students distance themselves from their native language.

Holistic concept of learning

All language skills (listening, reading comprehension, speaking, and writing) are systematically practiced in lessons. In addition, significant attention is paid to the active acquisition of grammar. Teachers work with a unique curriculum. We use not just one or two textbooks, but a wide variety of materials. We incorporate the best practices of publishers such as Schubert, Hueber, Klett-Sprachen, and others. Whenever a good new textbook appears, we immediately adopt all the new approaches.

Active learning

Lessons are action-oriented and focus on applying what you learn in real life. This allows course participants to immediately apply the material taught in written or oral form. This way, the learning material is practiced and reinforced through active use.

Various methods

A variety of social and work activities within cooperative learning (partnership work, small group work, plenary sessions, jigsaw/group puzzle method, ball bearing method and many others) enrich lessons and provide a positive learning atmosphere.

The rule of free speech. The main thing is to speak.

Thanks to this lesson structure, course participants speak above average in class.

Monitoring learning progress

Daily homework and weekly tests help reinforce acquired knowledge and allow students and teachers to transparently track their progress. We constantly monitor the quality of teaching. If we spot any learning issues, we promptly offer solutions. After all, our goal is to present a flawless resume for our organization—our students always excel on final exams and in interviews.

What else? Intensive classes.

The number of lessons per month—from 32 to 50—is above average for any other intensive course, but normal for the Heine-Institut. This contributes to rapid learning success.

What else? The basic foundations of our course system.

The courses are based on the six levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages ​​(CEFR). This means the language skills you'll acquire at the Heine-Institut are objectively measurable and internationally comparable. After completing our courses, you can travel to Germany and continue your studies, for example, in a course in Germany, with 100% compliance. Our lessons are always relevant, modern, and effective.

WHAT ELSE? OUR TEACHERS.

All of our teachers speak German as their native language or have a very good command of the language. They often serve as simultaneous interpreters for important events, where they are invited by large organizations. Our teachers have experience working with people from various countries and cultures. All of our staff are regularly trained in new teaching materials.

How long does it take to learn one level of German at Heine?

 

You'll complete one level in 14 weeks of group lessons.

Individual lessons can allow you to complete a level in 10 weeks.

How do I determine my level to get into the right group?

 

We run several tests before you start your studies, so it's impossible to make a mistake about your level.

Can I combine GROUP and INDIVIDUAL lessons?

 

Yes, of course. You can attend group classes if you wish, and if things don't work out, you can take additional private lessons.

Is your certificate suitable for the embassy?

 

Yes, unless the embassy's requirements for your visa application specifically state the requirement to provide a government-issued certificate (such as TestDaF, Goethe, telc or others).

Do you prepare for the Goethe, Telc and TestDaF exams?

 

We do. And with great success. Everyone who takes our courses or our exam preparation always achieves top grades on their exams. Exam preparation is not part of the core German curriculum.
