I've been studying German here, starting at the A1 level and now at the A2 level. The admin team at ILS is super friendly and always ready to help. They really go the extra mile to make sure everything runs smoothly. The facilities are great and very comfortable, and the teachers are super dedicated, too. It makes the whole experience awesome!

This is the best German course I’ve taken in Switzerland so far! The classes are exceptionally well-organized, the learning environment is very pleasant, and the quality of instruction makes a huge difference. Here, I feel like I’m really learning German and gaining a better understanding of the language. A very special thank you goes to Kathy and Marc. Both teach with a great deal of patience, dedication, and passion. They manage to explain even difficult topics in a way that’s easy to understand and to motivate the students. You can tell that they do their jobs with heart and joy. Thank you so much for this wonderful learning experience!

I just finished the B1 super-intensive course here, and I had a very positive experience. I had a few gaps in my knowledge from the A2 level, but I still found the course manageable and, for the most part, not too hard to understand—thanks to our teacher, Luca. We all understood all the topics, and I think the course is genuinely very effective.

Yes. A conversation course can be helpful precisely for this situation. You'll practice retrieving your existing vocabulary more quickly, responding more spontaneously, and expressing your thoughts directly in English, rather than translating every sentence in your head first.

Regular free-talking practice can improve your fluency. You’ll practice having longer conversations, responding to others, and keeping the conversation going even when the perfect word doesn’t come to mind right away.

The course is designed for A1, A2, B1, and B2 levels. Participants learn in mixed-ability groups. The focus is on active communication rather than systematically working through an entire language level.

The current conversation course is held online. Classes are on Mondays from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. This allows you to participate from home while still speaking English regularly in a group setting.

A course block lasts 6 weeks and meets once a week. This makes the course a good option for additional speaking practice alongside a regular English course.

Yes. ILS participants who are already registered can participate for free. For external participants, a 6-week course block costs CHF 150.
