INaWORD in Adyar has been around for more than a decade and has been one of the best places to learn German if you’re from South Chennai. With centres now in Anna Nagar, Kilpauk and Nungambakkam, it’s not just South Chennai that benefits. They aim to get you functionally proficient in the language by training your German reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. Their highly rated classes are made to be interactive and are in small groups of 10-15. They offer short term crash courses (10 hours a week of coaching) and slower long term courses (5-6 hours of coaching). Their schedules are flexible too which is great for when you have a day job. The "Flair" course for adults prepares you for certification in CEFR German Examinations.
