Course levels and placement
We have lessons all-the-year at 6 different levels. You can start each Monday, if you learned German before and have previous knowledge. For absolute beginners we have got fixed starting dates.
We are geared to an acknowledged system, the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages by the Council of Europe. This official pattern enables to find out where you stand in the language and how long it will take, to reach a certain level.
It is distinguished between:
- A1 and A2: elementary language use
- B1 and B2: independent language use
- C1 and C2: competent language use
Every course level can be completed in about 8 weeks!
With the Common European Framework you can find out your actial level of a langauge. If you start as a beginner it will take approximately 10-12 months Intensive course to reach the leven C1 (advanced).

Placement test
A differentiated and exact placement test on your first Monday at ADK – containing one written and one oral part – ensures that we will find a class which corresponds your language level. Every Monday there is a short test taken in class which helps you to judge your progress. You can also consult your teacher at any time.

- A1: Themen aktuell Band 1
- A2:Themen aktuelle Band 2
- B1: Themen aktuell Band 3
- B2: em Brückenkurs
