One-to-one General/Business

German Course in Edinburgh

If you want to be taught German for academic reasons, business needs or gain a working knowledge of the language for general purposes, our tailormade lessons are guaranteed to be the ideal solution.

General German courses will cover Survival German, allowing you to be comfortable during short visits to the country; polite conversation, practicable vocabulary and a strong grammatical foundation. Business courses are aimed at those wishing to work in the target language - so a working knowledge of etiquette in German business, as well as developing proficient reading and writing skills.


The exact syllabus is not determined simply in terms of 'General' or 'Business' - the course is tailor-made to your needs. If, as a Business student, you need extra focus on telephone or email communication, or vocabulary from a specific field of business, you only need mention this to your tutor. Equally, a General course will cover the fundamentals, but further focus in any particular area can easily be arranged with your teacher.


Our Business courses cater to a range of requirements. Many of our clients work for foreign governments and educational institutions, corporations with branches abroad, as well as those who buy and sell around the world. Our General courses cater for people aiming to purchase overseas property, globetrotters, German language and culture devotees, as well as people who need to pass a particular German exam.

City information


Edinburgh is something of a city of extremes. While the population is relatively old for the national average, the constant influx of the transient student population (around 100,000 out of a city of just under half a million people) makes up for the relative lack of resident youth. The city has a plethora of history, yet is one of the fastest-growing regions in Europe.

For most of the year the city is like any other historic Scottish city - mostly peaceful, with friendly residents, beautiful architecture, all overshadowed by a medieval castle. But that all goes to pot during the months from July to September, as the Edinburgh Festival runs its course, attracting many thousands of people to Scotland's capital.

Spoken by around 135 million people all over the world, German is a highly important historical and academic language.
