Flex Course (1 x per week)
The hybrid Flex Courses require the least amount of weekly time commitment of all our German courses. The Flex Course covers the same material as the Intensive and Semi-Intensive courses, but only takes place once a week. This format allows you to achieve the same learning goals over a longer period of time – ideal for people with busy schedules.
