Our teachers are always happy to answer specific questions and give good tips to interested students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Acquiring language survival skills is crucial to feeling comfortable in Zurich and appreciating the Swiss way of life. Our method places a strong focus on communication. Students practice their language skills in the context of everyday situations that an expatriate in Switzerland is most likely to encounter, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-check-icon\">\n<li>Establish and maintain social and professional contacts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Give and obtain information (formally and informally).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Performing communicative acts (making appointments, shopping, ordering in a restaurant).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Important information about our Crash course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The crash course was designed for students with a limited budget or limited time frame for learning German. The course is fast-paced and demands regularly a very active collaboration of the student during the course and at least the same amount of hours for homework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We developed a programme of 27 hours, covering the first half of Level A1. The goal was to cover the most useful and basic grammar and vocabulary for the most common everyday situations, so that, once the course is over, the student can go on learning by himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend private lessons. We do allow groups of 2 or 3 students, but we can\u2019t guarantee reaching the aspired level for groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your budget or time frame is not limited, it is preferable to go for a standard course with our standard beginner programme, which cover level A1 up to level B1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a private course with a standard programme you still can speed up your learning pace according to your needs and progress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group preis-spalten has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1 person<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>CHF 3\u2019240.00&nbsp;<br>18 lessons \u00e0 90 minutes<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2 persons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>CHF 1\u2019755.00&nbsp;<br>18 lessons \u00e0 90 minutes<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3 persons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>CHF 1\u2019332.00&nbsp;<br>18 lessons \u00e0 90 minutes<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-blau\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/swissing.ch\/en\/contact-form-opening-hours-address\/#contactform\">Sign up now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crash course for beginners German and Swiss German Beginners\u2019 Crash Course: Master simple everyday situations in a short time!
