Explore programmeCan I study French or German?
Yes. The catalogue has separate French and German routes. Start with the free bilingual lesson if you would like to explore both before choosing.
Do I need to know my level?
No. The free practice is designed for first steps and is not a placement test. For individual lessons, your starting point and goals should be discussed before a programme is agreed.
Are the lessons online?
The individual programmes use live online lessons. The schedule, time zone and video-call arrangements are agreed by email. A computer, internet connection and a quiet place are needed.
What is the difference between a workbook and private lessons?
Workbooks are independent PDF practice materials. Private lesson programmes include the number of live sessions described on their own pages. Do not assume a workbook includes teacher feedback or live lessons.
