“The excursions”
“The school is badly organized. I studied German at school, so I was already at the A1.2 level. I was told that it would be possible to study at this level, but I was placed in an A1.1 class. I ended up having to change my level (to A2, although without necessary foundations), since A1.2 would only be taught the following week when I would no longer be in Germany! Also, the lunch that was included was in a Turkish restaurant, with only fast food. Although most of the students were Turkish, I and other students were not and we had to eat "plastic" food while we were there. I do not recommend it.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: The activities were very interesting, however, they left a lot to be desired at the school level!

Questions and answers about Verbum Novum GmbH
I would like to prepare for the B2 telc exam. Can I also take the exam at school?
“We are an official telc examination center! Students can do the exam preparation and the telc B2 exam with us.”
Natalia, from Verbum Novum - Aug 10, 2023
It strikes me as strange that telc exams are filled out with a pencil. Do you have an explanation for this?
“Telc exams are written in pencil, more precisely colored in (the correct answer), because the scanner that corrects the answer sheets only recognizes the pencil. That's the telc exam regulations, you can't do anything about it.”

The school’s teaching method for its Standard German course uses cultural themes to complement the programme’s 20 weekly lessons. This is done to give students the greatest opportunity to integrate themselves into German society - not only by having confidence with the language, but also by having an understanding of current events, politics, music, popular TV series, and related topics.
Reading, writing, speaking and listening are all covered in depth, with your teachers adjusting the content depending on your group’s level.
Timetables may be subject to change, and lessons could take place either in the morning or in the evening depending on the school’s needs.
