German is a language in great demand. German is one of the most widely used languages in the world and one of the most important languages of commerce throughout Europe. Within the EU, most people speak German as their mother tongue.

Especially in Switzerland, German is of enormous importance. It is widely spoken in Switzerland, is one of the national languages and takes up a significant part in the Swiss education system. German language skills and recognised German certificates are also required for naturalisation in Switzerland and are very important for cultural integration. German is a component of numerous entrance examinations for Swiss schools and one of the most important subjects taught. Correct and fluent expression in German is a basic requirement for practically all employers in Switzerland and increases job prospects abroad immensely. In particular, job applications, cover letters and formal telephone correspondence in Switzerland are written and conducted in High German.

Not only from a professional point of view, but also culturally, it is helpful to have a flawless, correct and confident knowledge of German. German is the main language used on Swiss TV, radio, in cultural institutions and at events. The German language therefore helps to find access to Swiss society and culture, to stay informed about current and exciting topics and to be able to join in the discussion.

The fastest and most effective way to learn German is with a professional language course. In-depth, varied German lessons guarantee long-term, correct and secure German language skills. The teachers are all specialised in teaching German and have several years of teaching experience.

However, there are many different types of German courses: private lessons, group courses, intensive courses and exam preparation courses. So which is the right one for you? In this article you will learn everything about private German courses, who they are suitable for and the most important advantages.
