V‑IZ was founded in late 2025 in Mannheim by Fuat Karacocuk — also the owner of SH Sprachschule Heilbronn, which has been teaching BAMF integration courses and exam preparation for over 15 years. V‑IZ is the digital extension of that: the same teaching as in the classroom, but asynchronous, fairly priced, and explained in over 30 languages.
"I've been teaching German as a foreign language for years — as an integration-course instructor and at Sprachschule Heilbronn. For V‑IZ I recorded the very same lessons my students get in the classroom. Lesson by lesson. Recorded so you can pause and replay whenever you want."
We come from the classroom. The SH Sprachschule Heilbronn has been teaching BAMF integration courses and exam prep for over 15 years. Day after day, lesson after lesson. We know what good teaching looks like, because we do it every day.
The problem we set out to solve: thousands of migrants in Germany, Austria and Switzerland are under pressure — visa, family reunion, naturalisation, work. But they keep failing at language schools: no spots, fixed times that clash with shift work or kids, and high costs of 458 € per BAMF module for self-payers without eligibility. If you have two kids at home and work evenings, you don't stand a chance.
Our approach: we teach according to the Common European Framework (GER) — the official language standard that all exams (telc, Goethe, DTZ) and textbooks (e.g. Hueber's Schritte plus Neu) follow. The same structure, the same teacher as at the language school, but asynchronous — as a video course you watch at 11 pm after the late shift or at 5 am before the kids wake up. Plus an AI trainer 24/7 for speaking practice. Plus a fair subscription instead of an expensive bundle.
We're small, young, but honest. That's why the subscription runs 7 days completely free, the first charge only comes on day 8 — and you can cancel any time with one click in the customer portal. Stripe automatically sends you an invoice by email after every charge. No conditions on how long you must use the course.
19,99 € per month. No forced bundle, no hidden fine print — you pay as long as you learn.
Hueber textbook "Schritte plus Neu", DaF-certified teacher, prep for telc & Goethe — the very same content as in the integration course.
AI trainer for 24/7 speaking practice in your native language. But in the video there's a real teacher — not an avatar, not a computer voice.
Cancel and re-subscribe — all in the customer portal in one click. No email to support, no waiting time, no hurdles.
We're based in Mannheim — one of the most diverse cities in Germany. Over 170 nationalities in a city of around 320,000 people. Every day we see how much German decides over residency, work and dignity — and how often people fail at the language certificate, not because they aren't capable enough, but because they can't find a course that fits.
That’s why our website is in over 30 languages. That’s why the AI trainer speaks your mother tongue when you need an explanation. That’s why our examples come from real life in DACH — registering at the Bürgeramt, an appointment at the doctor’s, an email to your kids’ school.
We don't claim to know it all. But we're building V‑IZ for the people we've been seeing every day in the classroom of SH Sprachschule Heilbronn for 15 years — and for their siblings, friends and neighbours who never got into a course at all.
