I recently joined the super-intensive class taught by Karin Steiner. So far, it’s been amazing—her teaching style, the variety of activities throughout the lessons, and the caring and fun environment she creates in class have all made this experience truly enjoyable. I’ve noticed that I’m already picking up quite a bit of the language, and I’m able to use it when I’m out and about after just two weeks of lessons! I would highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn German!

On September 18, 2026, I took my “ Fide-Test ” exam at the “ ILS Bern .” I was greeted very warmly there, and I found the staff to be very friendly, patient, and pleasant. The atmosphere was calm, and I felt well taken care of. Thank you so much for the friendly service! I really hope I passed the test, because I really need the results. 😊 I can definitely recommend the ILS Bern .

The A2–B1 test was pretty difficult for me, but interesting. Some of the questions took a lot of time and attention. I hope I did well on the test.

I took the German A1.2 and A2 courses at ILA, and I also took the A2 exam. I’m so excited—the courses were great, and the price was very reasonable. I’m definitely planning to go back and take the B1 course if I pass the A2 exam 😊 Thank you, ILA, for giving me the confidence to speak German with others. Finally, Thank you all so much 🙏

Content Business French private

As the official language in Switzerland, French is also an important part of the basic skills expected by an employer in the working world. Those who have not yet had sufficient opportunity to bring their French up to a fluent level in school have the opportunity to do so in a specially tailored French course.

Here you will learn subject-specific vocabulary, can refresh your grammatical knowledge and, above all, practice oral communication in order to appear competent in your work environment. To do this, we use textbooks, magazine articles and exposés structured according to specific topics that are relevant in everyday work. Everyday life in the office, small talk, job applications, resumes and job interviews, meetings, but also presentations and negotiations are addressed here.

All four language skills (reading comprehension, listening comprehension, written and oral expression) are practiced here, and you can choose your own focus.

The different levels of politeness, from "very respectful" and "formal to friendly" to "less formal" and "very private", are demonstrated using sample exercise texts. The grammar, some of which is already assumed, is also deepened and reinforced in these lessons. For example, when is it enough to write "Sincères salutations." as the closing phrase in a Email and when is it better to use the slightly longer formula: "Veuillez accepter, Madame, l'expression de mes respectueux hommages."? You will learn this and more in our course.

In a private course, our teachers can also respond to your individual needs and create a lesson plan that suits your needs.

Sign up now and position yourself confidently in the French-speaking workplace.
