Hi Pascal
I hope my answer help you and is not too late. I took intensive courses, 2 hours daily at NSH. You could also take some evening clases, usually german course takes place twice a week. I would recommend combining it with conversation sessions, like tandem. You might able to find someone to exchange english-german. If you need more information, just write me back. Good luck!

Hey Pascal,
I had the same issue. German is no easy task! Have you thought of a full immersion? Personally the best way to learn. Nice combination between Holiday + new language + a great experience!
Check out EF, from my research, they're the best and their school in Munich was amazing for adults.
Goodluck!

Bad time. Have you thought that people might have jobs?
Hi Pascal
You should not hit a hand which likes to help. The writing in your reply sounds a bit agressiv. It was just a suggestion. Did you take a look a the schedule of conversations classes? If yes, then you would have seen that theres is maybe a possiblity for you to attend a German conversation group.
A nice way of your response could have been to write: "many thanks for this, but I have a full time job and would not be able to attend day time events." Sounds a little bit nicer, or?
All the best,
Ilona

Poor Pascal...that reply was not from him, Ilona!
You are right, IIona. I am sorry.
It is extremely frustrating to see a good opportunity to practice that is unavailable to me. I am studying German via distance with a University because none of the existing programs in Geneva suit my schedule.

Actually intensive or non-intensive classes in groups dont work for me. Plus, living in Switzerland and trying to learn Hochdeutsch is quite difficult, because you dont hear it on streets and noone really talks in it with you (unless you insist or some notice you dont understand swissdutch).I think the best choice is private courses and to find someone to speak with in German, consistently (like a colleague).
