The German language can be fascinating, but also challenging. Words such as ‘Teekamel’, the double meaning of ‘UMfahren’ and ‘umFAHREN’ or the difference between ‘auf DER Autobahn’ and ‘auf DIE Autobahn’ show that there are many peculiarities that present German learners with challenges. Nevertheless, our talents at TalentOrange manage to reach B2 level in just seven to eleven months - without any previous knowledge. How is this possible? The answer lies in a well thought-out, intensive and individually tailored programme that we have specially developed. Our philosophy: language acquisition is the key to successful integration and professional success. That's why we attach particular importance to a high-quality language qualification programme.
These are the most important aspects of our programme that make language acquisition so successful:
Individualised language learning ability tests
Before our talents start learning languages, they complete a special language learning ability test. This provides information on whether they are able to cope with the demanding learning programme. In this way, we ensure that each participant has the necessary prerequisites to progress quickly and effectively.
Qualified teachers and small classes
Our 19 GFL teachers are specially trained to teach German as a foreign language. They work with small classes of ten to 15 students to ensure individualised support. In small groups, learners can work better towards their personal language goals and receive the attention they need.
Our own schools and high-performing partner schools
We have established our own schools in Germany, Colombia, Brazil and India. In addition, we work with more than ten high-performing partner schools, mainly Goethe Institutes, in the countries of origin of our talents. This close cooperation ensures consistent, high-quality language teaching and enables a seamless transition for learners when they come to Germany.
Pronunciation training and individual tutoring
In addition to regular lessons, we offer specialised pronunciation training. If someone needs additional support, individual tutoring sessions are available. Our aim is to develop the language skills of our talented students so that they can communicate confidently in everyday and professional life.
Full concentration on learning
In order to offer our talents the best possible learning conditions, they do not take part in any professional activities during the programme. They receive a scholarship that allows them to concentrate fully on language learning. This relief is a decisive factor that promotes rapid and sustainable language acquisition.
From 0 to B2 in seven months - that may seem ambitious at first glance. But with the right support, qualified teachers, an intensive learning environment and a clear focus on the learners' needs, it is possible. For us at TalentOrange, language acquisition is the key to integration - and therefore to a successful future in Germany.
