FIND OUT IF UNUMONDO IS FOR YOU

Hi There, We’re UNUmondo…

We provide a new kind of language coaching that uses integrative German conversation to make learning simple, intuitive and human. In other words, you don't have to struggle through grammar exercises. You can actually enjoy learning German.

You're here because you have a pressing desire to improve your German conversation skills. We know what it's like to live in a foreign country and be unable to have the same freedom you experienced at home:

You've been to several German classes but still don't apply the language you learned (cause let's be honest, it's not applicable)
You're trying to order your perfect coffee but can't find the right words to describe it and people always switch to English
You want to join in a conversation but you can't work out how to express your thoughts

The world is exciting... but a little bit harder to navigate without German or Swiss German and some things you want are just out of your grasp.

We want to help you feel at home here in Switzerland and getting passed the language barrier is a great step to get you started.

By the way, enjoying what we do is on top of our list. If you don't enjoy the sessions, we question right away, what's going on. If the coach does not enjoy the sessions, we do the same and if the rest of the team does not enjoy work, something needs to change. We promise you, we live by this value.

What others say about us

'I moved to Zurich during the Corona crisis. I had no confidence of speaking in German. My coach gave me so much confidence that within a few weeks I dared to talk to my neighbours, people on the street or at the sportclub. I also did a job interview in German. If I didn't have Unumondo, it would have been a very hard time for me during this crisis.'
