Free German courses for refugees

The Registration for language courses in the summer semester 2023 is open until March 31.

Please fill out the following form: Registration

IMPORTANT: Please also indicate the language level in which you would like to be taught in German (A1, A2 or B1) in the section known languages.

You will receive all further information by e-mail.

The language courses are expected to start at the end of April.

Please be patient.

Language level

We offer German courses based on levels A1, A2, B1 and B1+.

Schedule

The courses take place twice or thrice a week depending on the language level.

Duration

The language courses last one semester: from April to September and from October to March.
Language test

The language courses last one semester: from April to September and from October to March. After registering, we invite you to take a test: We want to know what language level you have (A1, A2, B1 or B1+) so that you can get into the right course.

Public transport tickets

Last semesters we were able to offer some participants a ticket for sale. Unfortunately, we can can`t offer you the tickets before the courses start. Please be patient.

Unfortunately we do not have enough tickets for all participants, so there is a ticket lottery. There we draw lots to see which participants with university entrance qualifications can buy a ticket.

Attendance

If you have attended the course regularly, you will receive a certificate of attendance at the end. We are a voluntary project and not a language school, so the certificate of participation is not official proof of language proficiency. If you cannot come, you must send us an email and give us proof (e.g. medical certificate).

Frequently asked questions:

I have registered for the German course, what happens next?
After you have registered for the courses here, you will automatically receive a confirmation. When the registration deadline is over, you will receive an e-mail inviting you to take the placement test. Please do not email us about tickets. We will contact you if you can buy a ticket.

If you are sick, email your teachers.
Please don't forget to add: What's your name? Which course are you in? When and why can't you come?

Do I have to register for the final test?
No. If you have registered for the German course, you will automatically receive an invitation to the final test.

I want a ticket. What should I do?
You don't have to do anything. If you can get a ticket, we'll email you. If you don't get an email, we don't have a ticket for you. Unfortunately, we do not have tickets for all participants.

I didn't get a ticket, but I can't come to the German course without a ticket. And now?
