Our classes are fun, interactive and always plenty of chat and laughter. Our class sizes are small with just 8 students maximum, where all students become friends and supporters to each other, which is a great feeling, especially during lockdown. Learning something new has also been linked to improving mental health, and our 6 week courses are the perfect remedy to de-stress, make new friends, learn a new language and most importantly have fun and feel good. Learning a language also improves memory function, and overall brain health, who knew German could be that beneficial?
Culture and Confidence- at GermanMind we not only teach you the German language, we also teach you about Germany and its culture.

As Germans we respect people who value our traditions, our way of doing things, and a willingness to learn about them.
