Many adults today do not simply want to learn English. They want to use what they already know, speak with more confidence, or develop English for work, travel and international contacts. In our English courses in Augsburg you learn with an instructor using the Berlitz Method, at our language school at Karlstraße 12 near Rathausplatz, or live online.

Which English course is right for you?

The English course that suits you depends on your goals, your schedule and whether you want to learn in Augsburg or online. Private lessons are also available live online. You can study Business English in private lessons, in a group or online.

Still unsure? We are happy to advise you personally and find an English course that matches your level and goals.

How you learn to speak English with us

You learn with native-speaking English instructors trained in the Berlitz Method. You speak English from the very first lesson. You learn new words and phrases in context and put them into practice yourself straight away.

You practise situations where you actually need English – when travelling, on the phone or at work. Your instructor gives you feedback on pronunciation and phrasing. You use the correction and try again. You also practise grammar by forming your own sentences.

Through this repeated speaking practice, words and sentence patterns become more familiar. You practise responding directly in English instead of translating every answer in your head first. This helps you feel more confident in similar conversations outside the classroom. The same approach applies to private lessons and groups, in person and live online. More about the Berlitz Method

English courses in Augsburg from A1 to C2

Our English courses are for adults at every level, from a first start at A1 to very advanced English at C2. The course stages follow the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). Before the course begins, we establish your current level in a short oral placement.

A1 English for beginners

You are starting from scratch, or you have hardly ever spoken English. Simple questions and answers work with support. Longer conversations and speaking spontaneously are still difficult.

Typical situations

  • Introducing yourself
  • Asking for directions
  • Ordering food
  • Understanding numbers, times and dates

A2 English with a basic foundation

School English is still there, but you barely speak it. You understand simple conversations and can get by in familiar situations. As soon as things get faster or unexpected, the words run out.

Typical situations

  • Planning a trip
  • Talking about everyday life and work
  • Getting by in a restaurant or hotel
  • Making simple phone calls

B1 English for intermediate learners

You can get by in everyday life: travel, emails, small talk. As soon as you need to explain something in more detail, stay in a conversation longer, or answer on the spot, you search for words.

Typical situations

  • Everyday conversations
  • Writing emails
  • Getting by when you travel
  • Following straightforward discussions

B2 English for upper-intermediate learners

You already function in English at work and in daily life. Now it is about accuracy, longer conversations, and situations that ask more than routine.

Typical situations

  • Explaining things in context
  • Taking part in longer conversations
  • Going beyond set phrases at work
  • Following films and the news reasonably well

C1–C2 Advanced English

You already use English regularly, often at work or in your studies. The course is about precision, the right register, and complex conversations where nuance matters.

Typical situations

  • Discussing complex topics
  • Hitting the right tone and register
  • Understanding demanding texts
  • Speaking precisely at work or in academic settings
