Learning German
Being able to understand and communicate in German will help immensely to become
familiar with life in Austria. Numerous institutions in Vienna offer courses such as ‘German
as a Foreign Language’, to learn German for general conversation or for business purposes.
Instruction is given by native speakers who often apply the ‘total immersion’ system, in
which only German is spoken in class. It is essential to obtain comprehensive information
from different suppliers in order to meet individual needs and to find out which school, kind
of instruction and level would be appropriate.
