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.

The intensive German courses at the language school GoAcademy! Düsseldorf vary in duration depending on the level. Here is an overview of the approximate time required for each level:

A1: 8 weeks
A2: 8 weeks
B1: 8-10 weeks
B2: 10-12 weeks
C1: 10-12 weeks

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. In general, an evening language course at GoAcademy! Düsseldorf typically lasts as follows:

A1: approx. 6 months (A1.1: about 3 months  | A1.2: about 3 months)
A2: approx. 6 months (A2.1: about 3 months  | A2.2:  about 3 months)
B1: approx. 10 months (B1.1: about 5 months | B1.2: about 5 months)
B2: approx. 10 months (B2.1: about 5 months | B2.2: about 5 months)

In the Intensive courses / educational leave, the foreign language is studied intensively in a relatively short period of time. With this type of course, it is possible to make great progress in a short period of 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.

The group size depends on the chosen course form.

The evening classes have between 4 and 9 participants per class. German evening courses can have up to 14 participants per class.

The intensive courses for foreign languages have between 4 and 9 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 German stabdar and intensive courses have between 6 and 14 participants. If the minimum number of 6 participants is not reached, the number of lessons will be reduced: for 5 participants to 16 lessons/week, for 3-4 participants to 12 lessons/week, for 1-2 participants to 8 lessons/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.

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.
