Lessons that fit your lifestyle

As I decided to learn German, I visited some of the local language schools. However, they have a fixed schedule and it was difficult for me to attend the class every week due to my work as well as my family (two small children aged 2 and 4). I needed a flexible teacher with whom I could make an appointment whenever I had time. Also, I needed a teacher who could teach me more advanced German, particularly focusing on reading and writing. Most of the classes I visited locally were not tailor made and had standard textbooks, which I didn’t find useful for my purpose. I looked for online language courses on the internet and found Verbalplanet. Flexibility in terms of time and location as well as personalized learning content were the key for me in choosing to learn a language online.

I checked various online platforms and I found Verbalplanet most professional and easy to use. From the various functions Verbalplanet offers, I like the trial sessions very much and easy booking and rescheduling make my life easier. One function I would love to have on Verbalplanet is to copy the lesson schedules into the Outlook Calendar. If that function becomes available, Verbalpalnet will be perfect.

German is one of the official languages of the European Union, and one of the three working languages of the European Commission, along with English and French.
