I really love this language school! The atmosphere is great—we laugh a lot and get to practice speaking all the time. Katrin is honestly one of the best teachers I’ve ever had! She’s super patient, explains everything really well, and makes learning fun and easy. You can really feel yourself improving quickly. The school is also conveniently located, and everyone speaks English, which makes things much easier. I definitely recommend it!!!!!!!

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 .

Language does not always have to take place through acoustic sounds. Sign language offers an alternative system of communication that is mainly visualised through gestures and facial expressions. Through visual language systems, deaf and hearing-impaired people have the opportunity for social and cultural participation in the hearing world.

For hearing people, learning sign language is a special challenge: They have to learn to communicate not through sounds but through arms, hands, posture and facial expressions.

At ILS you will find sign language courses for hearing people. The language courses are based on the Swiss-German sign language (DSGS).

Choose private lessons as an individual course, a small group that you form yourself or a group course that takes place once a week. Our experienced teachers design the lessons according to your wishes. Book one of our lesson packages and schedule your lessons when it suits you best. The courses can take place at our premises in Bern, Basel and Zurich or at your location. More flexibility is not possible!
