How long will it take me to reach B2?
If you are a beginner at A1.1, you can finish B2 in 9 months in our intensive courses. If you are a working person and can only attend courses in the evening twice a week, it will take approximately 10 months for each level, A1, A2, B1, B2, so 40 months or approx. 3.5 years.

In the intensive courses, why does B2 take three months?
When people are starting B2, they have finished A1, A2, and B1, and they still have gaps in their knowledge and skills. Plus, B2 is full of new topics in grammar and vocabulary and is very challenging for all learners. Therefore, we take three months in the intensive courses for B2, to ensure that everybody is mastering the grammar and vocabulary and skills at B2 level by the end of the course.

Why does inlingua Basel take 160 lessons for A1 when other schools take 80 or 100 lessons?
We analyzed the requirements for A1 very carefully, and we have a curriculum and syllabus showing everything we teach in A1. It is impossible to cover all the topics in 80 lessons. German is a systematic, grammar-heavy language, and doing well in levels A2 and B1 and beyond is highly dependent on building a solid foundation in A1. We stand by our assessment and we think our learners are served well.

Why does inlingua Basel take 240 lessons for B2 in an intensive course but 160 lessons for B2 in an integration course or semi-intensive course?
Because Integration courses and semi-intensive for the whole level B2 or C1 (10 months) are stretched out over a far longer time than intensive courses (3 months). This means learners have much more time in between the appointments for self-study and real-world practice than is the case in intensive courses.
