How to Prepare for Your First Intensive German Course

A practical first-week checklist for international students starting in Bremen.

22 January 20261 min readCASA Academic Team

Starting an intensive German course can feel exciting and overwhelming at the same time.

Set a weekly rhythm before classes begin: class hours, self-study blocks, and recovery time. Learners who protect this rhythm usually progress more consistently.

Use your first week to build speaking habits in simple daily contexts such as shops, cafes, and transport questions. This lowers anxiety and builds real momentum.

If anything feels unclear, ask your teacher early. Small corrections in week one prevent bigger learning gaps later.
