Advantages of Wordculture
Official partner of the City of Zurich
As an official partner of the City of Zurich, Wordculture makes language courses accessible to as many people as possible. Holders of the KulturLegi benefit from discounted course fees. We also offer two free formats: the integration-promoting German Flexi-Course for immigrants and the German course for nursing professionals. Furthermore, we provide targeted and expert preparation for Swiss naturalization.
As a partner school of the ZHAW, we also train prospective teachers in adult education, which is a testament to our quality and our roots in Zurich’s educational landscape.
Our Method
At Wordculture, we combine the best of both worlds: traditional learning with books for efficient teaching of all language skills, as well as modern technology for digital lessons with Smartboards and Zoom, whether on-site or online. Our hybrid course format is also popular, offering you full flexibility. For us, Fluent in possibilities is a promise we live by.
Our language courses in Zurich take place in small groups of maximum 6 people. This creates a family-like learning atmosphere, plenty of personal speaking time, and qualified, passionate teachers who guide you step by step. The consistently positive Google reviews from our participants speak for themselves.
Personal Support
Friendly, patient, attentive: the Wordculture team looks forward to welcoming you. In our warm, family-like atmosphere, course participants feel at home from the very first day. Many participants don’t just learn languages with us but they also make new friends.
We take the time for every concern because your satisfaction is truly important to us. Everyone learns differently, and we cater individually to your needs. Our participants frequently highlight the clear, smooth communication and personal support from start to finish in their Google reviews, because with us, you are a person, not just a number.
Precise Placement
To make sure you enroll in exactly the right language course in Zurich, we offer a free in-person placement test at the school. Simply drop by or arrange an appointment in advance so we can assess your current language level. We’ll then work with you to find the course that’s the perfect fit.
Our teaching is based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), the recognized standard for all European languages from A1 to C2. This sound placement is the foundation for your personal learning success.
The Family Package: learn languages as a family
Wordculture wants to support families in learning languages together. That’s why we developed the special family packages WordFamily in S, M or L. These are attractive price packages with discounts when you combine a language course and childcare, or when parents and children attend language courses at the same time.
WordFamily L
15%
Language course for mum/dad & language course for child & childcare for siblings
Example: You attend a German course, your 7-year-old daughter takes an English course for children, and your 2-year-old son is looked after in childcare. That would be WordFamily L, and you would receive a total 15% discount on the entire invoice.
