So when choosing your German course, be sure to pay attention to the level so that you find the course that suits you best. This is normally indicated using the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: from A1 (beginner) to C2 (nearly native speaking skills).

There are many private language schools in Germany where you can learn German. Most of them are located in the major and larger cities. Classes usually take place in small groups with participants who share the same language level. You will often live with a German host family.
