Frog-Job · Group lessons
Online German classes in small groups

What a group gives you
Some things you cannot get on your own
The lower price is the first reason, but not the only one. Here are four things a group class offers that private lessons don't.
Speaking with different people
If you only ever hear one voice, a new one can make you freeze. A group gives you many people to practise speaking and listening with.
Learn from classmates' questions and mistakes
Classmates often ask the very question you are wondering about, or make the same mistake you tend to make. Hearing the teacher explain it, you get it straight away.
A fixed timetable keeps the rhythm
When you study alone, it is easy to postpone. With a class waiting, it is harder to skip, and regular study is what brings progress.
People in the same boat
Your classmates are all Vietnamese learners of German, some in Vietnam and some already in Germany, so you can share much more than just the language.
A single lesson
How a 90-minute lesson works
Most of the time is for learners to speak, not for the teacher to lecture.
Warm-up
The whole class talks in German about a light topic and reviews the previous lesson.
New material
The teacher introduces the vocabulary and structures of the lesson, explaining the hard parts in Vietnamese.
Pair and group practice
The longest part: role-plays, questions and answers, discussions. The teacher drops in on each group to correct.
Wrap-up and homework
A summary of the mistakes the class often makes, plus practice to do before the next lesson.
Group or one-to-one
A straight comparison with one-to-one lessons
Neither option is better in every way. The two cards below show what you gain and what you give up with each.
Learning in a small group
- Fees: from 4,500,000 ₫ per course
- Speaking time: shared with the class, but with many people
- Schedule: fixed, you follow the class timetable
- Pace: set by the group
- Motivation: classmates keep you going
- Best if: your schedule is stable, you want to save, and you like learning with others
Private lessons with a native-speaker teacher
- Fees: from 6,500,000 ₫/month
- Speaking time: the whole lesson, with the teacher only
- Schedule: arranged around your timetable
- Pace: faster, focused on your weak spots
- Motivation: depends on you
- Best if: you work shifts, have a tight deadline, or are very shy about speaking in front of strangers
Group class fees are per course; one-to-one fees are per month.

Frequently asked questions
Before you book
What learners often ask before joining an online German group class.
If your situation is not covered here, state your level and the times you can study in your consultation request.
How much does a group class cost?
Group class fees start from 4,500,000 ₫ per course. Frog-Job will tell you the exact fee for the right class during the consultation.
How many people are in a class? Will I get to speak if it is crowded?
A maximum of 6 learners per class. With a group this size, pair and group practice takes up most of the lesson, so everyone has to speak; nobody just sits and listens. If you still feel shy speaking in front of strangers, one-to-one lessons will feel more comfortable at first.
Does the class open if there are not enough people?
A class needs at least 4 learners to open. If there aren't enough, Frog-Job will let you know before the start date. You can then wait for the next intake, get your payment back, or switch to one-to-one lessons.
Do levels within a class differ?
Everyone takes a placement test before being placed in a class, so the differences stay small. A small gap is normal and not necessarily bad: the stronger learner who explains something to you often remembers it even better than you do.
If I miss a lesson, is there a make-up class?
Group classes follow the class's shared schedule, so there is no separate make-up lesson for a missed session.
What if it does not suit me part way through?
You can stop at any time, but fees already paid are not refunded.
I am in Vietnam — do the lesson times work?
Vietnam is 5 hours ahead of Germany in summer and 6 hours in winter. Class times are in German time, so ask for the exact times during the consultation and compare them with your local time before signing up.
