Learning German is definitely hard enough on its own, and to be honest, I don’t have much intrinsic motivation to learn it. I signed up for a B1 class, but wasn’t entirely sure if I’d want to stick with it for the entire 6 weeks. That said, I’m so glad Eva was my teacher!! She somehow managed to make our B1 class so fun, engaging, and entertaining that I kept attending—not to mention that I learned and retained SO much. She completely turned my whole learning experience around and inspired me to want to engage more with the German language. If you have the chance to choose a teacher, I highly recommend learning with Eva.

On October 22, 2026, I took and successfully passed the digital telc German C1 University Exam at ILS Zürich . My experience was thoroughly positive. Both the staff in the administrative office and the exam administrators were extremely friendly, understanding, and professional. I particularly appreciated how they handled our nervousness. The examiners created a calm and pleasant atmosphere, which helped us overcome our initial anxiety. The entire exam process was exceptionally well-organized. All exam rules were consistently and transparently followed. During the presentation and the subsequent discussion, the examiners paid very close attention to the specified time limits. When time was running short, we were notified in a timely manner. As a result, the exam proceeded in a structured, fair, and smooth manner. The processing of the exam results was also pleasantly quick: I received my result within just two weeks. A heartfelt thank you to the entire ILS team and especially to the exam experts for the professional organization, the fair conduct of the exam, and the respectful treatment of the participants. Based on my personal experience, I can wholeheartedly recommend ILS Zürich !

Check out the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Yes. The Saturday German course at ILS Zürich is designed specifically for people who have little time for a language course during the week. Classes are held once a week on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. This makes it easy to combine the course with a full-time job, college, or other weekday commitments.

Even with just one class per week, you can make steady progress if you practice regularly between class days. In the Saturday class, you’ll spend several consecutive lessons focusing on the German language and will also receive homework and exercises for self-study. It’s especially important to apply what you’ve learned repeatedly throughout the week—for example, when speaking, reading, or writing.

For levels A1, A2, and B1, each full level lasts 24 weeks and consists of 96 lessons. Levels B2 and C1 each last 32 weeks and consist of 128 lessons. You can also enroll in just a sub-level, such as A1.1 or B1.2. These last 12 weeks each for levels A1 through B1 and 16 weeks each for levels B2 through C1.

Yes. The Saturday course is offered from A1 to C1. If you don't speak German yet, you can start at A1. If you already have some knowledge of German, we can determine which level is best for you before the course begins.

Yes. The course is particularly convenient for working professionals who cannot schedule regular class times during the workweek. Since classes are held only on Saturdays, the rest of the week remains free. At the same time, the longer class session on Saturday provides ample time for grammar, vocabulary, exercises, and active language practice.

A maximum of 8 people study together in the Saturday German class. The class runs with a minimum of 3 participants. The small class size provides more opportunities to speak and makes it easier for the teacher to address questions and different learning needs.

For a Saturday course, it’s especially helpful to practice regularly between lessons. Even short study sessions during the week can help reinforce vocabulary and prevent you from forgetting new grammar points. The homework and exercises assigned in class are well-suited for this. It also helps to actively use German in everyday life—for example, while shopping, in conversations, or when reading news articles, listening to podcasts, or reading short texts.
