Let's practice German in a fun way and how to better do it than socialising?

Learning languages requires some effort and discipline. And just as Rome wasn’t built in a day, German language also needs some time and most important, some practice.
How to better do it than socialising? 😃

Whether you learn it to get your residence permit or simply to feel more integrated, this is a chance to apply and improve what you have learned or do the first steps in learning it.

Happy to guide you on this journey. We will solve quizzes, learn from each other and share experiences, approach different topics, all under my guidance.

The focus will be on speaking with a touch of grammar.

What you need to bring: curiosity and good mood!

Certificates
The State Secretariat for Migration (SEM) maintains a list of recognised language certificates. All language certificates on this list are valid for the residence permit - B, the settlement permit - C and naturalisation.

Exams
Please be aware that not all the below-listed certificate providers organise examinations in Zürich/CH.

Practical example
For a fast-track C-permit, for instance, you need B1 oral (listening & speaking) and A1 written (reading & writing). Some certificates allow you to sign up separately.

My personal opinion: For a better integration I recommended you to find your motivation to aim as high as possible 😊
