 Trustindex verifies whether the original source of the review is Google. 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 .

 Trustindex verifies whether the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies whether the original source of the review is Google. 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 🙏

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): Intensive German Courses

Learn more about our German courses

Is the Intensive German Course a good fit if I want to study every day but don't have half a day to spare?

Yes. Although the intensive course takes place from Monday through Friday, it consists of only one compact block of classes each day. This means you’ll be exposed to German every weekday while still having a large part of the day free for work, school, or other commitments.
