Course description

Mastery-level language skills

The C2 intensive course targets advanced learners who aim to refine their expression, use idiomatic language with confidence, and communicate with stylistic precision. You engage with authentic texts from newspapers, literary works, academic publications, and cultural media. Discussions revolve around society, politics, science, art, and philosophy in the German-speaking world.

You deepen your understanding of complex grammatical structures and expand your vocabulary with nuanced, high-register expressions. The course builds your ability to interpret subtleties, structure arguments clearly, and express sophisticated ideas fluently in both written and spoken German.

In the LcL Language Lab, you improve your pronunciation, intonation, and rhythm through targeted listening and speaking exercises. A skilled instructor guides you and provides additional materials tailored to your individual needs. This course not only prepares you for the official C2 exam – it also strengthens your ability to communicate with clarity, elegance, and cultural insight.

Dear Gabrielle,

Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent German Holiday Language Course (1:1-classes) experience with us.

We're delighted to hear that you found our location convenient and our secretary welcoming. However, we are sincerely sorry to learn that the teaching aspect of your course did not meet your expectations.

We want to assure you that we take customer feedback seriously, and we always endeavor to provide the best possible learning experience for our students. That’s why we proactively also reached out to you after your first two sessions to ensure everything was meeting your needs. At that time, you indicated that everything was perfect.

Our instructors are dedicated to tailoring their lessons to each student's preferences and goals. They are more than willing to adjust their approach to align with your learning objectives, as evidenced by their preparation based on your interests in Vienna's history, opera, and music.

While we regret that your experience fell short of your expectations, we genuinely appreciate your feedback. It helps us identify areas for improvement and ensure that future students have a more satisfactory experience.

Once again, thank you for choosing the LcL Language Institute. We value your input and hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future.

"Great people and professional approach"

Lukasz Bogajewski

It was very intensive course, thanks to which i learned a lot. Teacher was very patient and helpful. It was crazy for me to get to know people from all over the world and work with them. You can see the school is new, you can feel the breath of freshness. Class to practice pronunciation is a super experience. I'm thinking about starting the next course, this time a level up.

"I had a good experience and improved my language skills during my time there."

Gisela Deneke

The location is practical and accessible. The facilities are new and some are still being renovated/improved. Some equipment such as headphones and microphones were not fully set up and were used on the last day of class. The instructor was really good, spoke clearly and explained things well. The setup of the classes was good. Ideally, it would be great to switch up class activities and make them a bit more dynamic so that it’s not as repetitive over time (such as creating dialogues or conversations). The staff is friendly and helpful, and I appreciated that they provided us with water for every class. Overall I had a very good experience. While there are things still being set up or renovated, I think this institute already has great potential for being a good resource for language learning.
