It depends on which of the 5 courses you choose.

For the evening classes, the course duration is at least 3 months. But you can also sign up for 6 or 9 lesson months and pay accordingly less monthly fee (see prices evening classes).

Important: The evening courses have a 4-week notice period. If you have not given notice in writing up to 4 weeks before the end of the contract, the course will be extended by 4 more weeks.

The intensive course lasts at least one week (Mon - Fri) and includes a total of 30 lessons. Classes take place between 9:00 and 14:00 in the GoAcademy! Düsseldorf instead.

The intensive German course lasts at least two weeks (Mon - Fri) and includes either 20 (standard course) or 30 (intensive course) lessons.

Standard: The Standard Course takes place between 9:00 and 12:15, with 4 lessons per day (including breaks).

Intensive: The Intensive Course takes place between 9:00 and 14:00, with 6 lessons per day (including breaks).

For the one-to-one tuition, lessons are booked in the package. You can book 10, 20 or 50 lessons with the private language trainer. The big advantage of this variant is the high level of flexibility. The time, duration and type of lessons will be discussed with the trainer on an appointment-by-appointment basis. The private lessons can be extended as often as you like. Cancellations up to 48 hours before the lesson start are free of charge.

The Latin Intensive Course lasts 4 weeks. Lessons take place from Monday to Friday between 9:00 and 17:00 (including breaks). Special units on Saturdays are possible.

Offers GoAcademy! different levels?

Yes, the following levels are offered in all languages:

A0 = Absolute beginner
A1 = Beginner with easy previous knowledge
A2 = Beginner with good previous knowledge
B1 = Intermediate
B2 = Intermediate level plus
C1 = Advanced
C2 = Advanced plus

How long do I need to reach a higher level?

There is no universal answer to this question, as the learning outcomes depend both on the individual person and the chosen course form and duration.

Of course, a motivated student will achieve greater learning.

In the evening courses, which take place once or twice a week, the foreign language is learned and consolidated constantly and over a longer period of time.

Intensive courses teach the foreign language intensively in a relatively short time. With this form of course, it is possible to achieve great learning progress in a short time. However, we recommend that after completing the course you continue to refresh and expand what you have learned, for example in the form of an evening class.

In one-to-one lessons, the trainer can specifically address the needs of the participant. The individual lessons can be designed very individually. With the right motivation, the greatest possible learning success can be achieved.

How many students are in a class?

The group size depends on the chosen course form.

The evening classes have between 6 and 8 participants per class. German evening classes can have up to 10 participants per class.

The intensive courses have between 4 and 8 participants. If fewer than 4 participants register for a course, the number of lessons will be reduced from 30 to 25 or 20 lessons per week.

The small group courses have between 3 and 6 participants. If fewer than 3 participants register for a course, the number of lessons will be reduced from 30 to 25, or 20 lessons per week.

The GoAcademy! Language school Düsseldorf offers both private lessons as well as the less expensive lessons for two. However, it should be noted that the second person must be brought by the student. The GoAcademy! Sprachschule Düsseldorf can not provide second person for this variant.

In Latin intensive courses, the group size is a maximum of 14 participants. A course can only be created when at least 6 participants have registered.
