Language Courses
Language courses in Vienna are probably one of the best options to learn German quickly. If you struggle with languages, or have difficulty motivating yourself to do the work outside of class, language courses can be a great option.
Classes are usually fairly small (around 5-15 people), and the teachers are usually native speakers trained in teaching German. This can be better than simply chatting to other Austrians, because your teacher can go through the grammar with you, and these lessons can be easily reinforced in Vienna, as you’re surrounded by the language all the time!
