Learn German in Vienna.
Find the right course for you

Jeunesse Brunner

I will definitely recommend INNES - to a person who really wants to learn German and doesn’t want to waste time. I chose the combination of an Intensive Course and the Master Class. When I do one on one with my teacher, then I get all of her attention which helped me come pretty far with German in a short time. I don’t feel so strange in Vienna since I improved my German. I think, if you are living in a city as an expat and want to be part of the community, it’s good to know at least the basics of the language. It’s always nice to say at least hello, to say goodbye. Or if you hear music or watch TV and you think: “Ah, I think I got it!”. And you don’t feel foreign anymore.

Adilson Alberto Moyses

”Adilson defended his Master’s in Industrial Engineering from Zaragoza University today. This is a big step in his life, and we are happy to share it with him and celebrate with a bottle of an incredible French wine. He is just completing his C1 German language Course at INNES and is ready to go for his dream: living in Vienna for a while, enjoying the country and culture, and gaining professional experience. The most important tool for him 'to belong' is almost in his pocket: high German level proficiency. We wish him a lot of luck on his way.”

Kathrin Köppe, Senior Lecturer at Georgia Institute of Technology

We came to INNES Institute for the first time in 2022, we came back in 2023, and we are looking forward to a very long-term relationship. What I really love at INNES are the people. The service and the staff are very professional, extremely helpful and heartwarming. Whatever problem I have, they solve it. The atmosphere at INNES is relaxed and easygoing. It’s a pleasure staying here!

Laura

"Ich habe den A2.2 und B1.1 Kurs besucht. Meine Meinung über INNES Institute Vienna ist sehr positiv. Ich danke vor allem Frau Astrid für die Organisation und ihre Professionalität. Sie ist sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und sie hat unsere Notwendigkeiten verstanden. Das Unterrichten war immer anregend (nicht stressig oder langweilig). Sie hat uns Hausaufgaben gegeben, so, dass wir auch zu Hause den Unterricht noch einmal durchgehen konnten. Ich habe auch viel Spaß gehabt."

Zorana

“I have taken A2.2 and B1.1 course at INNES and was extremely satisfied with the delivery of the course. What I liked the most is that we were forced to talk all the time. We were given some practical tasks as well, for example, asking people for directions, which made us interact with the locals and experience the language. Both my groups were small, and we were mainly using German during the breaks.”

Sophie Wardle

“Sophie joined INNES (online) after moving to Zell am See. Living in Austria offers her all the aspects of life that she most enjoys and allows her to fulfil her passion: skiing and ski instruction. The main issue working in a predominantly tourist town is that everyone happily reverts to English when foreigners’ German runs out. Frustrated by this and having some basic grasp after working in Austria, she started with A1.2 at INNES with Tatyana. She absolutely loved the classes and really felt that, with Tatyana’s guidance (and lots of homework to practice!) she improved a lot. A1.2 gave her the foundations that she was lacking before and really boosted her confidence when talking to locals (despite trying to navigate their tricky dialect!). Sophie cannot imagine living anywhere else and in these tough times and with the job market ever changing, having the local language has never been more important. Sophie chose to continue with her language learning and progress to A2.1.”

Vlad

“Vlad came to Vienna one year ago, in order to do his Master’s in Marketing. As a fresh member of INNES since spring, he is currently completing his C1.1 course. It has always been his dream to live and work in Vienna. Therefore, he is highly ambitious to improve his German skills, which is definitely noticeable due to his improvements compared to spring. Moreover, Vlad is now starting to understand his friends from Salzburg reasonably well, although they sometimes speak with a dialect. But nowadays, this dialect could not be called a language barrier anymore. To achieve his goals, Vlad has worked with a lot of vengeance and had therefore designed his own learning strategies, which include a lot of little sub-goals like reading Austrian newspapers or getting better in grammar issues. He can imagine living in Vienna very well. There are a lot of appealing arguments to him, such as sitting by the Danube or visiting Schönbrunn, which make him feel very comfortable.”
