German for complete beginners.
No German needed. Lessons begin with the words and situations you meet first, in a small group, so you speak from the first lesson.

The programme
German beginner course
Group or private · A1 to A2 · No experience needed
A German course for students starting from nothing. Lessons begin with the words and situations you meet first — introducing yourself, asking simple questions, getting through an everyday exchange — so you are speaking from the first lesson rather than memorising lists. The pace follows the group, and the teacher repeats what the class needs repeated.
What’s included
- No previous German needed
- Conversation-first lessons
- Maximum 8 students per group
- Five progressive levels, starting at A1
- Onsite at United House or live online
