OVERVIEW

What is the German A1 Course?

The German A1 course at Sprachschule Kathmandu is designed for complete beginners with little or no prior knowledge of the German language.

The program runs five days a week, Monday through Friday. Each daily class consists of a mandatory 1.5-hour lecture followed by a dedicated 1.5-hour library session, ensuring a strong foundation and ample practice time.

By the end of eight weeks, students will have completed the full course β€” then sit their final A1 certification exam in the ninth week, opening the door to further study and real-world use of the German language.
