FAQ
Clear answers about levels, live classes, placement, payment, and what to expect before you join de101.
de101 is designed for students planning to study in Germany, professionals aiming to enter the German job market, and anyone who wants to build a strong German foundation (A1, A2, B1) and understand how life in Germany actually works. No prior knowledge of German is required for A1.1.
Most language classes stay close to the book. de101 puts the focus on the German actually used in Germany - daily situations like housing, transport, authorities and work - taught by someone who lives and works here, not just a language teacher. You get practical guidance alongside language learning.
No. de101 is not a visa consultancy or job placement service. The focus is on language skills plus system understanding - the essential foundations for success in Germany.
de101 currently offers A1, A2 and B1. Each level is split into two parts - for example, A1 is made up of A1.1 and A1.2. Participants usually start at the level that fits them and continue step by step.
No. The A1.1 course is designed for absolute beginners. If you already have some German knowledge, take the free de101 placement test - it takes about 20 minutes and gives you a clear A1, A2 or B1 result with a recommended course. Still unsure? Get in touch and we'll find the right starting point together.
German is the main medium of instruction from day one - that's how you learn fastest. English is used only when absolutely necessary to clarify something.
German remains the main classroom language, but difficult grammar, cultural context or confusing moments can be clarified in Kashmiri, Urdu or Hindi when needed. You should not feel stuck just because one explanation did not land the first time.
Yes. Alongside language learning, you'll get clarity on studying in Germany, the basics of entering the German job market, an understanding of German culture, rules and authorities, and honest, experience-based answers - no consultancy promises.
The courses follow CEFR levels (A1, A2, B1), the same framework used by Goethe-Institut and similar exams. While the focus is on practical German and real-life communication, the courses also support preparation for exams at the corresponding level.
Each course runs over 4 weekends with live online classes - 8 classes of 3 hours each, in a small group of maximum 10 participants - designed to allow plenty of interaction and speaking practice.
Live classes take place on Google Meet, and you'll receive the link before each class - no special software required, just a browser. Course materials, assignments and feedback are available in the de101 Course Portal.
