Our introductory German course (level A1) is ideal for students without any prior knowledge of the language.
German is one of English's closest cousins. You might not understand "Mein Vater hat einen Hund" yet, but after you've studied German for a while, you'll start to see the similarities (mein and my, Vater and father, hat and has, einen and a/an, Hund and hound), and you'll know that my father has a dog.
Many of the most common words in English are very similar to (or even identical to) their German equivalents. Apart from English, German is just about the most useful language for travel in Europe. There are over 80 million German speakers in Germany itself, but there are millions more in Austria, Switzerland and Luxembourg.

Study at Hansa
Whether you need private instruction or prefer learning in a small group setting, Hansa Language Centre creates the ideal environment for language studies. Our English programs are based on the principle that students learn best in a language program that can be customized to their unique linguistic needs and goals. Hansa uses a "Flexible Learning System" and offers over 300 classes daily.
Students have the freedom to choose the classes they want and the time they want to take them. Hansa students benefit from the advice of experienced counselors, the instruction of accredited teachers, and the choice of a variety of subjects. Upon arrival at Hansa Language Centre, every student takes a placement test and undergoes an interview with one of our student counselors.
The placement test evaluates grammar, vocabulary, and reading comprehension skills. The interview assesses the student's speaking and listening abilities and helps us design the best study program for their needs. Students meet regularly with counselors to discuss their study program and progress.
Follow-up tests and interviews are scheduled to monitor progress and determine when class changes are needed. After successfully completing an English program at Hansa, many students go on to take Hansa's programs for Academic Preparation, (TOEFL or IELTS) Exam Preparation, or Teacher Training.
Many also choose to further their studies at one of Hansa's partner language schools, high schools, colleges, or universities. By using Hansa's "Flexible Learning System" and following the "English Only" policy, it's common for students to achieve a university-level English proficiency within months.
