… normal courses do not fit your schedule
Integration courses run 8:00–13:00. You work, have shifts or care for children. V‑IZ runs when you have time. The video course waits for you, not the other way around.
From SH Sprachschule Heilbronn · since 2009

We solved the main problem with video courses using AI.
The reason most video courses do not lead to a language certificate: without a teacher, there is no speaking, no pronunciation correction and no letter-writing practice. With us, AI takes over directly from the task in the video.
❌ No one to speak with. You watch, repeat quietly. But a real conversation never happens.
✅ AI dialogue instead of a classroom. You speak with the AI about the lesson topic. It answers, corrects you and is there 24/7. More about the AI dialogue feature → ❌ Pronunciation without feedback. You hear the teacher and repeat after her. But no one tells you whether you are doing it correctly.
✅ AI pronunciation coach. You repeat sentences, the AI listens and shows you where the stress belongs. Word by word. More about the pronunciation coach → ❌ Writing letters without correction. Writing for telc or Goethe? In a video course, there is no teacher to correct it.
✅ AI letter correction from a scenario. Letter task from Marlene → you write → the AI corrects grammar, word choice and style. Immediately. More about letter correction → ❌ Learning alone, motivation drops quickly. No one waits for you, no one asks questions. Most people stop after 3 weeks.
✅ Marlene gives tasks, the AI practises with you. In the video Marlene says, “Pause and practise this with the AI.” You switch, practise, come back. You do not stop because learning feels lonely. More about the video course → For you if …
… you do not want to speak in front of strangers
At language school, you freeze. Speaking German in front of 12 people can feel like a nightmare. With V‑IZ you practise with AI. No one listens until you feel ready yourself.
… you want to move faster than a course allows
Language school takes 8–10 weeks for A1, but you could do it in 4 weeks if nothing slows you down. In the video course, you skip what you already know. The AI challenges you at your real level.
Why it has not worked so far
– it is not your fault.
- Integration courses run 8:00–13:00, but you work shifts and cannot attend. (Solution: video, anytime.)
- Language school costs €350–500 per module, and you need 4–6 modules to reach B1. (Solution: €49.99/month.)
- Speaking standard German in front of 12 strangers, you freeze and therefore do not learn. (Solution: AI dialogue, no one listening.)
- Apps like Duolingo teach you vocabulary, but not grammar for telc or Goethe. (Solution: Hueber course materials + Marlene.)
We have seen this for 17 years in our language courses. More than 2,000 students have told us exactly this. That is precisely why we developed V‑IZ.
Three pillars,
one tested method.
17 years of SH language-school experience, translated into a video course that works without a classroom.
Video lessons with Marlene
40 course days per level, around 150 hours of instruction. Marlene explains grammar as she would in the classroom, and you can pause and rewind as often as you like.
AI exercises directly from the video
Marlene gives you a speaking or writing task. You switch to the AI, practise and receive immediate feedback on pronunciation, grammar and word choice. Explained in your native language.

SH Sprachschule Heilbronn
– German for migrants since 2009
We are SH Sprachschule Heilbronn. Since 2009 we have taught German, and more than 2,000 students have completed an integration course with us and passed their language exam. From this experience we developed V‑IZ: the online video course that replaces the classroom without losing the learning effect.
The video courses are taught by Marlene, our DaF-certified teacher. Same method, same Hueber course materials as in our in-person courses, except you learn in your own living room and at your own pace.
Language-school quality, without the language-school price.
Language school (live, 4–6 modules to B1) ~ €700–900 one-time
V‑IZ: video course with AI €49.99/month
Possible because video replaces a live teacher.
Quality because 1:1 our classroom curriculum + Hueber course materials.
What you want to know before buying
How can I cancel?
Anytime at the end of the month, with one click in the customer portal. No phone call, no 30-day notice period, no reason required. Platform access stays active until the end of the paid month, then it stops. No further charges.
The books are still yours, even if you cancel again after month 1. That is not a “trick”; it is fair.

When do I get the books and access?
After successful payment confirmation, platform access is active. Digital: Hueber-Code by email, usable immediately. Printed: books arrive at your home by DHL; DE 2–4 business days, AT 3–6 business days.
Will I receive a certificate at the end?
After you complete your level, we issue a certificate of participation from SH Sprachschule Heilbronn (PDF + by post on request). It confirms: level, number of hours, course materials and period.
Important: For official language certificates (telc, Goethe, ÖSD), you must take an exam at a certified examination centre. We prepare you specifically for this (Hueber “Schritte plus Neu” + Marlene’s explanation videos follow the exam curriculum precisely). Exam registration costs €130–180 depending on provider.
The certificate of participation alone is sufficient, for example, as proof for an employer or application portfolio. For naturalisation (B1), you need the official certificate.

Who is Marlene? Is she really a real teacher?
Yes, Marlene is DaF-certified (German as a foreign language) and recorded all video lessons personally. Per level you receive 40 course days with about 150 hours of instruction in total. She teaches exactly according to the Hueber “Schritte plus Neu” structure that we have used since 2009 at our language school SH Heilbronn.
This is not an AI avatar, not a voice-over on slides. You see Marlene explain, give examples and demonstrate pronunciation in every lesson. Like in a real classroom, except you can pause and rewind as often as you like.

Is a video course really equivalent to an in-person course?
In terms of content: yes. We recorded our classroom curriculum 1:1 as video. Same number of hours, same Hueber course materials, same teacher (Marlene, DaF-certified).
What video courses otherwise cannot do (speaking, pronunciation, letters) is handled by our AI. Available 24/7, without pressure. In some areas (pace, repeatability, individual weak points), the video+AI model is even better than a classroom.

How does AI replace the classroom?
In the video, Marlene gives a specific task, for example “Write a letter to your landlord” or “Ask someone for directions”. She says: “Pause and practise this with the AI.”
You switch to the AI exercise, speak or write your answer, and receive immediate personal feedback: pronunciation word by word, grammar, word choice, style. Afterwards Marlene shows the model answer in the video.
Exactly what the teacher does in the classroom. Only 24/7, at your pace, without pressure from classmates.
