Why V-IZ
Our classroom course, now on video.
We've been running this course successfully in person since 2007, Monday to Friday, 9 to 1 pm, over two months per level. Now you get that same intensive preparation as a flexible video course. With identical content, the official textbook, and Marlene as your dedicated teacher, you'll learn just as thoroughly as in our school, just from the comfort of your home.
Exactly like the classroom course
- A real qualified teacher: Marlene is your certified and trained German-as-a-foreign-language instructor in the videos.
- Official textbook: you learn with "Schritte plus Neu" by Hueber, the industry standard.
- Targeted exam preparation: the course prepares you specifically for telc and Goethe.
- Full content: you get the real depth, lesson by lesson, completely unabridged.
Just better for you
- Study comfortably from home and save all that commuting time.
- Learn entirely at your own pace, pause, rewind, and repeat whenever you like.
- The AI trainer practices speaking and writing with you around the clock, with instant corrections.
- A fixed price per level instead of the running course fees of a language school.
An established language school with a track record, not just another anonymous online experiment.
