German lessons for children, teenagers and adults, in groups of four.
Taught in person by Vanessa, a native German speaker and qualified teacher. From the first words to C2, and a Saturday community for German-speaking families in Accra.

Come for a free lesson
Sixty minutes in the real group, with Vanessa. It doubles as the placement test: she starts with easy tasks and works up until she can place the learner precisely, then tells you the level from A1 to C2 and which group fits.
Choose a rhythm
One, two or three lessons a week: GHS 1,200, 2,200 or 3,200 a month. No registration fee, cancel at the end of any month. Vanessa suggests the plan that fits the goal. You decide.

Learning with joy, with structure
Lernen mit Freude is the name we teach under, and it does not mean learning without structure or challenge. It means an environment in which learners speak up, ask, get things wrong and grow more confident for it. That applies to a three-year-old singing a song and to an adult working towards C2.
- Every German lesson has a clear purpose and builds on the last, so learners know what they are working towards and why.
- Every learner is seen, heard and supported. In-person groups are limited to four, so nobody sits at the back.
- We take account of each learner’s age, level, pace and goals, and adjust the teaching so the challenge fits.
Für deutschsprachige Familien in Accra
Dein Kind spricht zu Hause Deutsch, aber Schule, Freunde und Alltag laufen auf Englisch. Das Sprechen bleibt, das Schreiben und der Wortschatz für Schule und Studium werden dünner. Genau dafür gibt es bei Vanessa Gruppen für muttersprachliche Kinder mit Schwerpunkt Schreiben und Grammatik, eingeteilt nach Niveau, nicht nach Alter.
Saturdays at Studyfreunde
On selected Saturdays, one age group at a time. Included for our learners, open to other families on request.
Jugendtreff
Teen meetup: games, projects and conversation, without the classroom.
Spielgruppe
German playgroup: play, songs and stories in German.
Familien-Café

from parents and adult learners in Accra. Read them on our Google profile or leave your own after your trial lesson.
I have enjoyed all my classes and so has my daughter! Our German is improving and I’m beginning to feel more confident. I am so grateful to have found Vanessa!

I’ve already improved my confidence and grammar working with her over the last months. She prepares interesting learning activities for each lesson and is always upbeat and positive.

Why lessons here cost what they cost
GHS 1,200 a month buys a place in a group of four, not a seat in a class of fifteen. That is the whole difference.
Four learners, not fifteen
In a group of four, everyone speaks in every lesson. In a class of fifteen, most children wait.
One teacher, every week
Vanessa teaches every lesson herself, a native speaker with a Master of Education. Your child does not get a new tutor each month.
Groups built by level
Vanessa fills every group by level, so your child learns with others at the same stage. You do not pay extra for a small group.
Nothing on top
Materials, marked homework and the German library are included. No registration fee, no joining fee, and you can stop at the end of any month. Second child from the same family: 10 per cent off. Third: 15 per cent off.
