You’re probably here because
one of these sounds familiar
The professional
You live in Germany, use English at work and Google Translate for everything else. Your colleagues are patient, but you’d rather earn their respect than rely on their patience.
The expat partner
You moved to Germany because your partner’s company brought you here, and now you’re the one managing daily life: daycare, doctors, the tax office. You need German that works with teachers, other parents and neighbours, not just textbook exercises.
The exam candidate
You need an official German language certificate for citizenship, a B2 for Anerkennung, or a TestDaF score that opens a door. You need a teacher who has prepared people for exactly this — and knows what examiners actually look for.
Planning ahead
You haven’t moved yet but you know it’s coming. A job offer, a partner’s transfer, a decision that’s already been made. You want to arrive speaking German, not spend the first year apologising for not knowing it. Starting now is the single best thing you can do.
Our programmes
Exam preparation
You have an exam date and a door you need to open. Citizenship, university admission, professional recognition. This programme is built entirely around your exam, your date, and the specific skills the test requires. It covers all the general language work needed to reach the required level, adds targeted mock exams and error analysis, and puts you with a teacher who has prepared students for exactly this many times before.
General German
Living in Germany and still feeling like an outsider? This programme is for everyone who wants to stop nodding along and start understanding — at work, at the doctor’s office, at Kita, in the supermarket. From your first words to confident, everyday communication. Structured, personal, and paced around your schedule. Planning to take a Goethe, telc, ÖSD or TestDaF exam? Your teacher builds your programme with that goal in mind from day one, and when your date is set, we move into focused exam preparation together.
Business German
Your colleagues switch to English the moment you hesitate. This programme changes that. We cover everything you need for daily life in Germany, and go further into the language your role actually demands: meetings, emails, presentations, negotiations. Progress is measurable and directly relevant to your professional life.
Specialised language courses
You already know your situation doesn’t quite fit the standard options. Maybe you’re a nurse who needs German for patient care. An engineer navigating technical documentation. Someone preparing for a very specific exam. Or simply someone whose goals are specific enough that a general programme wouldn’t do them justice. This is where we start from what you actually need and build from there. Not sure which programme is right for you? That’s exactly what the free consultation is for.
Language learned,
not memorised
The difference isn’t the method. It’s the teacher who knows exactly where you are, and what you need next.
Large language platforms have invested heavily in technology, content libraries, and progress-tracking dashboards. What they cannot invest in is the relationship between a teacher and a student, because that relationship doesn’t scale.
Konnekt was built on a different premise. A teacher who knows you, your goals, your schedule, your specific anxieties about speaking German in front of others, will always outperform a platform that doesn’t. That relationship is what we protect.
Our teachers are not allocated by an algorithm. They are selected for their qualifications, their real-world experience, and their ability to adapt to each student as an individual. They are accountable to you, not to a corporate reporting system. After every lesson you receive a short summary of what was covered and what comes next. Your progress is measurable: a placement test at the start and regular CEFR-based progress checks.
No pre-recorded modules
Every lesson is live, interactive, and built around where you are that week.
Guidance between sessions
Your teacher recommends videos, exercises and podcasts for independent practice, chosen specifically for your level and goals. That guidance is part of the service.
No rigid curriculum
Structure exists, but your teacher knows when to set it aside for what you actually need.
No platform loyalty schemes, no lock-in
You can transfer your lessons to a family member, adjust your pace, or take a break when life demands it.

The people behind Konnekt Deutsch
Rigorous preparation, genuine curiosity
When language trainers worldwide grew frustrated with a system that assigns a new teacher for almost every class, leans on AI tools instead of professional judgement, and treats language learning as content delivery, they started looking for a better way. That search led to Konnekt: a network of teachers who share the same professional standard.
Every teacher in the network holds an advanced degree in German studies or language teaching methodology. Beyond that shared foundation, their experience runs deep and wide. Many have worked as corporate language trainers and consultants for professionals in leading companies across technology, finance, automotive, and pharmaceutical industries, with clients from all over the world. Some have contributed to specialist programmes, including language support for the migration of medical professionals. Their work has been presented to international audiences of educators, including at DaFWebKon, one of the largest professional conferences for teachers of German as a foreign language worldwide.
Konnekt exists to protect one standard: rigorous preparation, genuine curiosity about each student, and a refusal to treat language learning as a transaction.

FAQ
Live, online, always face-to-face.
All lessons happen via video call with a real teacher — never pre-recorded videos or chatbots. You receive learning materials during each session and work through exercises together in real time. Every class is interactive, structured, and fully focused on your progress.
We match you with one teacher from the start.
If circumstances ever require a change, or if the match doesn’t feel right, we handle the transition carefully — same package, same schedule, no disruption to your progress.
All lessons are scheduled directly with your teacher, so that they match your availability.
Packages have a generous validity period. If life gets in the way, lessons don’t expire quietly — we’ll always reach out before anything lapses.
Apps build vocabulary. Large group courses move at the group’s pace, not yours.
Neither replaces a teacher who listens to you in real time, identifies exactly what’s holding you back, and adjusts the lesson accordingly. That’s the difference.
Yes.
Unused lessons in any package can be transferred to a family member at any time — just let us know. We handle the scheduling change. If your company is paying, it decides who can use the lessons.
By bank transfer against invoice.
Payment is made before lessons start. Companies can receive an invoice in the company name.
No problem.
Invoices can be issued in your company’s name, and your company decides who uses the lessons, for example a colleague if someone changes roles or leaves the company. No paid hour goes to waste. With your consent, we can send your HR team a confirmation of attendance and a summary of your progress. If you take the final test at the end of your course, you also receive a Konnekt certificate confirming the course and your test result. It does not replace an official exam certificate such as Goethe, telc or ÖSD.
Many students notice a difference within the first 3–5 lessons — not fluency, but clarity about where they are and what they need to work on. That clarity alone changes how you approach learning.
