Beginner level A1-B1 (integration courses)
For social and cultural integration in Germany, a good command of the German language is fundamental in everyday life and at work. If you want to live and work in Germany permanently, it is important to be able to communicate independently and confidently in everyday situations. Sprachakademie Stuttgart advises you competently and teaches you German with a committed and qualified team, accompanying you safely and effectively up to language level B1. A free placement test determines your current language level, so that a suitable course can then be found to match your personal situation. Our integration courses follow a normal learning pace. They consist of 6 modules (600 lessons) and an orientation course on the history, politics and culture of Germany (100 lessons). Courses take place in the mornings (intensive courses), afternoons (intensive courses) and evenings. Detailed information about integration courses can be found on the website of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees.
