STUDYGERMAN · BY LECTOR
ARRIVE · CONNECT · MOVE FORWARD
Starting a new life in Germany brings many questions, as well as your hopes, skills and experience. At StudyGerman, we put people first. We listen, take your goals seriously and help you turn a big ambition into manageable next steps.
German is more than a learning goal: it helps you act independently, build relationships and shape your future. We aim to be a springboard and a companion, in class and beyond.
SUPPORT THAT FITS YOUR SITUATION
Unsure about your next step? We offer guidance on your language learning and career path. Together, we consider your starting point, goals and suitable next programmes. For specialist questions, we help you find the appropriate contact.
Through our subsidiary MTS Translations, we can offer translations of necessary documents, for example for applications or preparing a recognition procedure. First check with the receiving authority which documents, languages and any certification it requires. We can then agree the scope, timing and cost.
MTS Translations ↗After your StudyGerman course, LECTOR can support you with further language learning, skills programmes, coaching and application support, through to assistance with placement in vocational training or employment. We discuss the right path based on your circumstances and the programmes available.

Plan accommodation, living costs and your journey to class early. Keep important appointments and documents in one place. Check with the responsible authority which registration is required when you move in.
Check your health insurance cover for the whole stay. Save important contacts and find medical practices nearby. Ask someone to explain unfamiliar contracts before you sign them.
Practise in small steps while shopping, travelling or talking to neighbours. Write down words you actually need and bring your questions to class. Mistakes are part of learning.
A sports club, volunteering, a library or a language tandem can help you connect. Regular contact helps you feel at home in Saarbrücken and use German outside the classroom.
Gather certificates, employment references and details of your previous training. Think about your skills and goals. The Recognition Finder can help you identify the authority responsible for your profession.
Start building a clear CV and suitable application documents early. Practise explaining your experience. Check the language requirements and the conditions that apply to taking up employment in your situation.
