If Goethe Institut is the gold standard of German understanding, Sprachilingua aims to get you functionally ready to be in Germany. This tiny academy in T-Nagar focuses on teaching you how to speak and converse confidently in German. So much so that they do away with books entirely! All classes revolve around interactions and video sessions and cover topics that are relevant today (like how do you talk to the visa officer after you land, etc). Their hour-long classes have flexible timings and class sizes are kept to around 10-15. They specialise in making you an expert in speaking and understand the words of the language!
