Our method for learning German
Ecole Suisse d'Allemand has developed a unique method for learning German that is based on the process of learning a mother tongue: first, you will listen to words and phrases, repeat and then practice.
Interactive lessons
Interactive lessons help you learn vocabulary as well as pronunciation through everyday situations on a multimedia platform.
Once you've mastered the sounds, you'll study grammar. This learning process is universal. And it works! This is the reason why the method for learning German is guaranteed by contract with a 97% success rate.
Afterwards, you will have access to courses taught in three different ways. Here are the stages of your learning:
Digital Books
Once the interactive lessons are over, you will be redirected to the online exercises in the Digital Books. You will complete different exercises based on the vocabulary you are would have acquired during your lesson. Your teacher will give you feedback.
Austausch
"Austausch" is the term that Ecole Suisse d'Allemand uses to name the course with a teacher. These courses of 3 to 5 participants (of the same level) will help you to get comfortable in the practice of the language.
This course is taught by a native German teacher who can help you progress in pronunciation. Once the "Austausch" is over, you will have the opportunity to access the next interactive lesson.
Workshops and Social Clubs
The Workshops target specific areas such as grammar, conversation, and business German, allowing them to consolidate the concepts acquired. Even though they are optional, it is recommended that you make one per unit for your progress.
The Social Clubs offer immersion in German through everyday situations in a friendly atmosphere. Students can participate in all the Workshops of their level and join the Ecole Suisse d'Allemand online community.
