C1 – Communicate precisely, fluently and professionally in German
In our C1 course, you will learn to express yourself fluently, in a structured and stylistically precise manner – whether in conversations, discussions, or written texts. You will reliably understand complex content and be able to master even demanding tasks with linguistic confidence.
What you achieve in C1:
- You speak precisely and almost without preparation.
- You argue convincingly and present connections clearly.
- You write structured, professional texts (e.g., analyses, presentations)
-
You use advanced grammar intuitively, for example:
- Indirect speech with subjunctive I and II
- Nominal style and complex sentence structures for professional texts
- Stylistic registers and precise vocabulary for various communication situations
- You come across as professional, confident, and linguistically competent – even in more complex conversations and discussions.
And the best part: At C1 level, you’ll speak almost like a native speaker – and that opens new doors for you in your studies, job, and everyday life in Switzerland.
