Events in Vienna

German is the key to endless possibilities - whether for professional growth, academic achievements, or cultural exploration. With over 100 million native speakers, it's one of the most widely spoken languages in Europe. The German language opens access to world-class education, global careers, and rich traditions and literature.

Bite-sized and designed around experiential learning, they fit well into tight urban schedules. Number of participants per course level is limited and spots are assigned on a first-come first-served basis.

Griaß di, do you speak German on at least B2 level and want to keep up with your Austrian or Bavarian friends and colleagues? The Austro-Bavarian dialect, as spoken by up to 15.000.000 people in most of Austria and Bavaria, is distinct from Standard German in terms of pronunciation (a becomes o, il becomes ü, ...) and local expressions.

Even basic comprehension can unlock a whole new set of personal and professional opportunities - as well as a deeper understanding of the region's socio-cultural landscape.

Program is open to all German speakers at level B2 and above.
