Our Philosophy
Fluent in Possibilities
Languages connect and open new worlds. Learning a new language means gaining more than just words. It opens up possibilities and expands both your personal and professional horizons. This is something we genuinely believe at Wordculture — not because it says so in a book, but because our team is intercultural and multilingual
Since 2013: Quality over Quantity
Seit 2013 begleiten wir mit Fachwissen und Leidenschaft Erwachsene, Kinder und ganze Familien auf ihrem Weg in eine neue Sprache und beim Einleben in der Stadt Zürich. Zudem sind wir seit 2021 offizieller Partner der Stadt Zürich.
Die Gründerin von Wordculture, Dr. Susanna Mineve, aufgewachsen in Mailand, ist promovierte Linguistin. Sie spricht 8 Sprachen fliessend und hat 2024 mit Erfolg die ordentliche Einbürgerung in Zürich geschafft.
At Wordculture, integration is not just a buzzword, but a lived reality. Our team understands the challenges that come with moving to a foreign country. But it also knows that with a strong will and the right support, much is possible.
Diese gelebte Diversität an Lehrpersonen und einem vielfältigen Angebot an Sprachkursen für Erwachsene und Kinder sowie Prüfungsvorbereitungskurse für internationale Sprachzertifikate in Kleingruppen und mit umfassender persönlicher Betreuung finden Sie so in Zürich kein zweites Mal.
The Only Language School in Zurich with Childcare
For many parents in Zurich, especially mothers new to Switzerland, childcare is the biggest obstacle to learning German. Daycares are full or too expensive. Family lives abroad. The partner works full-time, and organizing a babysitter for a few hours a week is complicated and costly.
This is exactly the problem we solve! At Wordculture, childcare takes place in the same building as your language course: at Selnaustrasse 2, between Zurich Main Station (HB) and Stadelhofen Station.
So there are no more excuses. This is no coincidence, but conviction: We believe that language learning is a fundamental right for everyone, and we know from our own experience that parents who don’t have to worry about their children learn more focused and better.
Why Fluent in Possibilities?
Wordculture was founded with a simple idea: a language school for families that adapts to life, not the other way around.
We offer courses for adults and children in over ten languages, support newcomers with integration, prepare professionals for exams, and provide families with a place where everyone can learn simultaneously. All under one roof, at Selnaustrasse 2, just a few minutes’ walk from Paradeplatz.
Then as now, we work with a passion for language learning. Because we know: a new language is never just a language. It’s a new beginning. That’s why, in groups of a maximum of 6 people, we place great emphasis on conversation to promote free speaking. Because only then will you become fluent in possibilities.
Student review
At Wordculture, languages are taught with great competence, heart, and dedication. I not only learned German here but later also Italian and found new friends.
