Swiss german

Learning Swiss-German is an important step forward on the road to integration! In order to settle down and begin to understand the land and its people, a knowledge of Swiss-German is essential. Our courses offer a fun way to familiarise yourself with Zürittüütsch (Zürich German). Glacé, Götti and Geschwelti will no longer be foreign words and your next conversation in Swiss-German with your friendly neighbour will be problem-free.
Our small class size (3-6 students) will give you every opportunity to speak and practice the language as much as possible. The support of our experienced teachers will help you quickly reach your language goals. Our Swiss-German courses offer not just the opportunity to learn the language, but also to explore the culture and history of Switzerland.

We offer Swiss-German courses for beginners as well as advanced students.
We offer our courses throughout the day – mornings, midday, afternoons, and we can offer you the flexibility of studying at our centrally located school, in the comfort of your own home, or at your workplace.
An advantage for all parents is that we can offer our Childcare-service (until 5pm) which runs in parallel with our language courses. While you learn, our childcare specialists will look after your little ones. (12.50 CHF/60min).

Children

With us, even the very young learn a new language easily and playfully!

Wordculture is committed to promoting early language acquisition. At no time in their later development are children more receptive to absorbing the sounds and structures of the language that surrounds them than in the period from birth to age 6!

We have therefore developed our own teaching curriculum and methodology for very young learners in order to support this fascinating process in the best possible way and to make the first contact with a new language as stimulating as possible.

Our language courses take place in small groups with a maximum of 6 children, they are interactive and appeal to all senses. They encourage the intrinsic, innate curiosity to discover and learn by focusing on play. For language teaching with young children, the mere teaching and retrieval of words, grammar and sentence structures is of no use.It is therefore necessary to change the focus: Language learning occurs implicitly through the joy of play.

The content of the language courses varies and is oriented towards the needs, abilities and learning goals of the different age groups. The little ones paint, sing and dance, while the older ones write their own stories or prepare presentations on a topic they find exciting. All in the target language.

Age groups: 3 to 6 years / 6 to 9 years/ 9 to 12 years
