Literacy courses in Zurich

Would you like to learn to read and write, or improve your basic skills? Our literacy courses are aimed at adults who speak a foreign language and who cannot read or write, or find it difficult to do so.

The courses are also suitable for people who are not yet familiar with the Latin alphabet. Participants learn to read and write step by step. Depending on their level, they practise the Latin alphabet, numbers and important everyday words. At the same time, they improve their listening and speaking skills in German.
On the course, participants build their independence and learn how to apply their German language skills in everyday life. Before the course begins, they take a free placement test, after that they are placed in the appropriate course level. The course is free of charge for those who pay for it themselves and live in the canton of Zurich.
