Description: Being one of the most renowned language schools in Augsburg [founded in 1963], ADK has specialized in teaching German as a foreign language from the beginning. We are not only experts but attend continuing education and our students are near to our heart.

Teaching German: Consistent Quality, full service and friendly atmosphere
The satisfaction and the success of our students is our best advertisement. At the moment there are about 90 students from over 30 countries from all over the world learning German at our school...

Motivation through committed teachers
In our international classes we only speak German. Our experienced and motivated teachers [many of whom have been working with us for many years] ensure everyone speaks in the classes. During group work and dialogue exercises everyone gets a chance to speak. All of our teachers are native German teachers, have relevant university degrees.

Level of course

- Beginner without prior knowledge
- Elementary (A1/ A2 according to CEFR)
- Intermediate [B1 / B2 according to CEFR]
- Advanced [C1 according to CEFR]

We have lessons all-the-year at 6 different levels from A1 up to C2. You can start each Monday, if you learned German before and have previous knowledge. For absolute beginners we have got fixed starting dates.

In Basic Levels A1, A2 and B1, you will learn to speak, write and read simple German. The basic vocabulary, introduction to the past tense and declension of nouns you learn, will be enough to enable simple conversation. Important grammatical constructions are built into the framework of the lessons which are orientated towards day-to-day usage and dialogue. At Intermediate Level B2, C1 , more advanced pupils can broaden their vocabulary and deepen their understanding of the grammar. Listening comprehension and conversation will be practised in order to increase understanding in the new language as quickly as possible. Here, the use of authentic materials is even greater, and newspaper articles will be read in class followed by group discussion. Each level can be completed in 2 x 4-week courses! Weekly progress tests and topical lesson material.

Our Intensive Course can be joined anytime throughout the year, and signed up for 2 weeks just as easily as for 12 months. We work with current textbooks in several volumes, so that you can continuously progress through the course. For advanced students, it is possible to join a course in progress at any time.

Placement
We are geared to an acknowledged system, the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages by the Council of Europe. A differentiated and exact placement test on your first Monday at ADK containing one written and one oral part ensures that we will find a class which corresponds your language level. Every Monday there is a short test taken in class which helps you to judge your progress. You can also consult your teacher at any time.

Certificates
At the end of the course, you will receive a certificate documenting your learning progress in the areas of grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, conversation and composition.

Lessons
25 lessons (each lesson is 45 minutes) from Monday to Friday: 8.45 - 12.45 o´clock!

Individual emphases
It is your decision, if you want to put the main emphasis on thematic aspects [e.g. terminology] or as regards content [translation, conversation, correspondence ...]. Before you start a course, we determine your personal language demands, what you want or need to learn in the time attending the course.
