German intensive course Munich

The Intensive Course Structure

The Intensive German Course usually welcomes 4 to 8 participants per class from all the over world. Generally there are more participants during the high season, which takes place from about mid-June to the end of August. During the summer months there could be a higher number of learners, due to vacation time.

At Dialog, you can attend the German Intensive Courses at all levels. According to the European Reference Framework, there are six learning levels: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2. We subdivided these levels, i.e. German A1 (A1.1, A1.2), A2 (A2.1, A2.2), B1 (B1.1, B1,2), B2 (B2.1, B2.2) and C1 (C1.1, C1.2). This way, we can provide you with the appropriate learning content matched even more precisely with your level.

Before the course starts, we will find out what level you are at in a short assessment interview. If you already have some knowledge of German, you can start the intensive course on any Monday.

Dialog Tips For Beginners

You should spend time and prepare for the course if you are planning to book the course short-term or last-minute. Indulge your mind in the new language, listen to its melody and rhythm, familiarize yourself with its intonation.

For those who wish for a particularly intensive and effective start in the new language, we created the German Crash Course for levels A1 and A2. This way you complete one whole level in just 3 weeks.

German Lessons and Your Trainers

In the German Intensive Course we focus on your active and passive language skills, and make you develop your speaking ability in a short time. 4 x 45 minute lessons per day may seem like a lot to you at the beginning. However, since the lessons are designed in an engaging and creative way, the time will fly by without notice. We alternate between exercises with different objectives, e.g. pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, expresions, role plays, etc.

Verbal communication is the main focus of each German course. Especially if you are still a beginner, speaking and listening is very important. During the lessons you will actively participate in many hands-on/useful exercises, discussions and role plays.

In the Intensive Courses we work with proven and proficient textbooks, which you can purchase from our office in the language school. Additional teaching materials (e.g. current newspaper articles, internet worksheets, extra grammar exercises) can be obtained directly from our language trainers and are of course included in the course price.

Examinations in the Language School

In the Intensive Courses, we offer examination preparation for these exams: TestDaF, DSH, and all telc examinations (German A1 to C1 and C1 University). Telc examinations can be taken directly at the language school and you will receive an internationally recognized certificate.

The official Telc German examination certificate is an important document, verifying your proficiency in  German language. It is necessary in many fields of the student or professional life, and required by authorities in order to process various documents such as entry to a German university, employment in Germany, and German citizenship. You can also take the exam just for your own satisfaction of achieving that personal goal.

Possible Course Combinations

The German Intensive Courses are set up in a way which allows you to complete one full level in about 4 weeks, depending on your learning ability. For example, if you come to the school as a complete beginner, upon finishing the initial Intensive Course you will be able to understand rudimentary German expressions and participate in basic German small talk.

Individual Training And Pronunciation
If you feel you´re not catching up in the German Intensive Course, or you want to focus on a particular content, or you have a need to repeat particular grammar or vocabulary, then enhance your learning by joining an Individual Course. It is also worth taking a look at pronunciation and listening comprehension in the individual lessons. We recommend the additional Pronunciation Training to all participants already before or at the beginner level.

Changing Between Course Types

Many of our participants start with the Intensive Course in order to quickly immerse themselves in the language and effectively acquire the basics. Once they familiarize themselves with the language, they may want to change the pace or they now have a job which allows them less time to participate in a daytime course. In such case the participants can switch to the Evening German Course.

At Dialog, this change is possible without unnecessary red tape and extra costs.
