Sprachschule Aktiv Vienna

Sprachschule Aktiv teaches German at Faulmanngasse 4 in Vienna’s fourth district. The school offers courses in several languages and has a particularly broad choice of German timetables. Students can compare intensive, lighter intensive and semi-intensive formats, with an evening option for those already working or studying in Vienna.

German for the classroom and the clinic

The school distinguishes German for doctors and medical professionals from German for nurses. These specialist courses are aimed at learners who already speak German at different levels. That is an important detail for a healthcare worker planning a stay. A course devoted to the language of a clinical setting serves a different purpose from one that builds a foundation for shopping, travel and everyday conversations. The medical programme is aimed at more advanced German users, while the nursing route is offered at intermediate stages. Previous German study is therefore relevant even for experienced clinicians.

ÖIF and ÖSD exam preparation courses are also offered. Learners preparing an application that specifies a qualification can check the exam name and required level before choosing a preparation class. Someone whose immediate goal is to communicate with colleagues can instead describe the situations they find difficult and ask how the medical or nursing course addresses them. Individual lessons are another option if a group timetable falls outside their shifts.
