About our German classes
Operating since 2011, My Language Café has grown to be one of the leading German language schools in the Philippines. Through our German A1 classes, we have helped many students pass their language proficiency tests and reunite with their partner or family in Germany.
Since then, more and more nurses have joined our German A1 to B2 program and we are proud of a growing number of B2 Allgemein and B2 Pflege exam passers (i.e. Telc, Goethe, or ÖSD). We commit ourselves to engaging highly qualified native German teachers.
Depending on your purpose, you may join any of our upcoming German classes from level A1 (beginner) up to B2 (intermediate). If you join us for a level higher than A1, please schedule an assessment test with us.
Available options:
✔️ Face-to-face classes at our school in Cebu City or Dumaguete City
✔️ Live online classes (via Zoom)
✔️ Take your German proficiency test in Cebu City
Level Overview
The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is a widely used system to assess language proficiency across Europe, including German. The CEFR defines six levels, from A1 to C2, which represent different degrees of language competence.
A1 (Breakthrough): This is the beginner level.
A2 (Waystage): This is the lower intermediate level.
B1 (Threshold): This is the intermediate level.
B2 (Vantage): This is the upper intermediate level.
C1 (Effective Operational Proficiency): This level represents advanced proficiency.
C2 (Mastery): This is the highest level of language proficiency.
Please note that language learning is a gradual process, and the time it takes to progress through these levels varies depending on the learner's commitment, practice, and exposure to the language.
