Our hybrid german courses
Courses we offer
Bellingua is focussed on group courses for levels A1 to C1. We offer intensive courses (5 mornings per week) and semi-intensive courses (2 evenings or afternoons per week). In addition, we offer our students free video-conversation classes for levels A2, B1/B1+ and B2/C1.
For maximum flexibility, we offer private lessons.
Detailed placement test
All students with previous knowledge of the German language take a detailed placement test. This detailed and free placement test helps us assess your level so we can find the right level and course for you.
Details
Courses are guaranteed to take place
Our courses will be provided even if only one person has signed up to attend. If there are three or fewer than three people in the course, the number of lessons per week will be reduced slightly, but not the content of the lessons.
Our uniqueness as a language school
Guarantee for Goethe exams
Thanks to competent teachers and a prescribed curriculum, we guarantee the passing of Goethe and telc certificate examinations.

No risk and money-back guarantee
New students can get to know Bellingua without risk. The students decide whether we meet their expectations of a professional German school and whether they wish to continue the course. In the intensive course, students can decide at the end of the first week and in the semi-intensive course students can decide at the end of the second week. If a student decides to stop the course, we will refund the entire course fee.

The student decides how long to book a course for. Our terminable contracts allow flexibility and guarantee motivated course participants. The cancellation period is only one week.
