German Language Courses

Moving to a foreign country means facing a number of challenges, such as mastering a new language and getting used to customs different to one’s own culture. Learning German ensures your successful integration: secure a job in Germany, explore your city, make new friends. First things first, though: find more information on where to learn German below.

Anyone who wishes to live in Germany should take part in an integration course. In certain cases a permit, the certificate of eligibility, is required. You can obtain this from the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees – Integration Courses.

The integration course consists of a language and an orientation course. In order to come to terms with everyday life you first of all learn the language. The composing of letters and completing of forms are also practised. The orientation course follows on from that. This is where you learn everything connected with your rights and duties and community life in Germany. The general integration course lasts 660 hours.

Good to know: you can be exempt from the costs connected with this. To this end you must file a written application to your contact person in the Federal Office for Migrants and Refugees. You may find the organisers of integration courses in your neighbourhood with our search for intergation courses (available in German). Or you may obtain their addresses from the Foreign Nationals Authority or a migrants’ advice centre.

Various providers offer online language courses while the exact contents may differ from one provider to another. It is important, however, to select a course that matches your current level of German. Your course’s duration willdepend on yourprior knowledge. You may check your level of German in advance, before enrolling in a course. Please feel free to contact us on this issue.
