The new ÖSD exam centre ‘Gerry’s Sprachwelt’ in Vienna and its additional locations in Linz, Salzburg, Graz and Innsbruck offer language courses, exam preparation and advice with a focus on German as a foreign and second language (DaF/DaZ). This means: practical face-to-face and online courses focussing on communication and intercultural skills.

Everything about DaF/DaZ

The institution was founded in 2017 and has made a name for itself through its high quality and reliability. Particular attention is paid to ensuring that the German courses are well suited to the needs of the participants.

In addition to professional tuition and specialisation in language examinations, Gerry’s Sprachwelt also offers individual advice and tailor-made courses. Small course groups (max. 6 participants) enable intensive support.

Flexible course times also take into account the needs of full-time learners and working people. German language courses can also be booked as part of AMS programmes.

Innovative learning

Gerry’s Sprachwelt offers customised education management solutions for both individuals and companies. The aim is to ensure sustainable success through effective education planning. Innovative technologies also make the learning process smarter and more targeted.

The institution, at all of its locations, is designed to provide a modern and professional learning atmosphere in order to make learning as pleasant as possible for participants. A central component is the continuous support and motivation of the learners. This not only promotes rapid progress, but also ensures long-term learning success.

Modern learning materials, qualified team

The institution’s team consists of experienced specialists, including Georg ‘Gerry’ Tremmel, a certified examination expert with many years of international experience. His expertise ensures high-quality and standardised exam preparation and language support.

The use of multimedia tools in the German courses enables individualised learning and promotes learner independence. Visual, audio and interactive materials appeal specifically to different types of learners.

Practical learning for everyday life

At Gerry’s Sprachwelt, practical learning takes centre stage. Participants acquire their language skills through realistic exercises that specifically prepare them for everyday situations.

Through active communication, they learn to express themselves confidently in different contexts. This practice-orientated approach helps them to move confidently in a diverse society and master linguistic challenges with ease.

Mediation and group work

Group work plays a central role in Gerry’s Sprachwelt, especially when it comes to clearly formulating, explaining and further developing ideas. Mediation between different perspectives and cultures is an important part of this. Learners practise explaining information clearly and avoiding misunderstandings – an essential skill in intercultural contexts.

Actively use and apply language

Communicative tasks are an integral part of the activity-orientated lessons at Gerry’s Sprachwelt. Instead of isolated vocabulary and grammar cramming, the focus is on actively using language. Learners work on practical tasks that challenge them to use their language skills creatively and flexibly. Teachers take into account the individual learning level of each learner and build on previous experience.

From specialised language courses to exam preparation

The courses on offer include general German courses (from A1 to C1), specialised language courses for medicine and pharmacy as well as company courses. One area is particularly close to Managing Director Gerry Tremmel’s heart: promoting German in general education schools. In this context, he cooperates with schools and kindergartens and is committed to the professionalisation of educators and after-school teachers in the context of afternoon classes.

A major focus is also on targeted exam preparation for the ÖSD German certificates at all language levels.

With our comprehensive programme, we want to ensure that participants not only achieve their language goals, but also develop a deeper understanding of language and culture. The combination of transparency, individual support and modern didactics makes us an excellent choice for anyone who wants to improve their language and intercultural skills,’ Mr Tremmel is convinced.

Specialised advice

Language learning counselling plays an important role at Gerry’s Sprachwelt, helping participants to develop their full language potential. This includes:

Customised solutions: By analysing individual learning styles in detail, a personal learning plan is created that is tailored to the strengths and weaknesses of each participant.

Professional language assessment: A precise assessment of current language skills helps to select the right course and set clear learning objectives. Grammar, vocabulary, speaking and listening skills are precisely assessed.

Advantages of being a licensed ÖSD exam centre

Gerry Tremmel sees a number of advantages for his institute as a new partner company of the Österreichisches Sprachdiploms Deutsch (ÖSD). ‘The factors of recognition and trust are particularly important. As an official exam centre of the ÖSD, we work according to international standards. This ensures a transparent and reliable examination organisation. Participants can trust that they will be assessed fairly and comprehensibly,’ reports the managing director.

Furthermore, the internationally recognised German exams and preparatory courses at Gerry’s Sprachwelt help learners to overcome linguistic and cultural hurdles. This prepares them to communicate successfully in intercultural situations and to move around confidently. ‘I think this promotion of cultural understanding is crucial in a globalised world.’

Transparency and tolerance in the future too

Transparent processes: At Gerry’s Sprachwelt there are clear lesson and examination structures. Learners know exactly what is expected of them. This creates confidence and motivates them to achieve their language goals with self-assurance.

Overcoming borders: The institution promotes language as a tool for cultural exchange across national borders. To this end, partnerships with international education providers are to be strengthened and intercultural workshops offered.

Cultural integration and diversity: Gerry’s Sprachwelt aims to further promote the values of openness and tolerance with special programmes and events. A particular focus is on cultural understanding across borders. Learners are encouraged to bring their own cultural backgrounds into society as a valuable asset.
