Our school

Language with structure, closeness and a clear goal

A language school in central Hannover for people who want to arrive and stay here.

At Phonem you learn German for work, everyday life and real conversations in Germany, not only for an abstract certificate.

Phonem Sprachschule was founded in 2023 because many learners need more than a generic course. They want to know how to take part in meetings at work, understand an appointment at the citizens' office, write an email to the nursery or respond clearly in the team when speed is called for. That is exactly what we offer: fixed teachers, manageable groups and contacts who stay reachable.

Hannover is a lively city with a strong job market, universities and international companies. Many of our participants come from Europe, Asia, Africa or South America and plan their next step deliberately. Language first, then career, study or family life in the region. We support this path with courses from A1 to C1, clear level structure and teaching that stays close to real situations.

Teaching

Quality you feel in the classroom

Clear levels, communication at the centre, modern rooms and an environment where you can focus on learning.

Aligned with CEFR

Our courses follow levels A1 to C1 of the Common European Framework. You see your progress, understand the next steps and know what a level realistically means at work, at the authorities or in everyday life.

Communication instead of rote memorization

We train speaking, listening, reading and writing so you feel more confident at work, at the doctor, in government offices and in everyday life.

Modern classrooms

Bright rooms, smartboards and a calm atmosphere help you focus on German. Our rooms are set up so you take an active part and speak in class.

Comfortable climate for learning

Even in summer heat you can concentrate fully in our air-conditioned rooms.

Personal support

Small groups, fixed contacts and clear processes for registration, level and course choice. You learn with people, not only in front of a screen. Digital tools complement teaching but do not replace it.

Experienced teachers

Our German teachers are professionally qualified and bring many years of experience teaching international learners. They know typical questions when starting out in Germany and connect grammar with situations from work and everyday life.

Audience

For people who want to arrive in Germany

Whether you are new in Hannover or are just planning your move to Germany, we teach the language you need in real life.

We specialise in German for international professionals, qualified workers and families building a future in Germany.

  • Professionals and workers with a job, contract or concrete plan for work in Germany
  • Newcomers in Hannover and the region who want to manage everyday life, authorities and neighbourhood in German
  • Students and participants who need an intensive course or a course for a language visa, where legal requirements allow
  • Families who want to organise nursery, school, doctor visits and appointments confidently in German
  • Learners who have already studied grammar but are still unsure in conversation
  • People who start at A1 or want to progress deliberately with A2, B1, B2 or C1

Many come to us because they are not only looking for German for an exam but for a school that understands what a move feels like. New city, new system, new colleagues and new forms. We take that situation seriously and teach so you become able to act step by step.

Team

People behind the school

Two owners, two strong areas of expertise and one shared school in Hannover.

Phonem is run by Sabrina Alibasic and Dubravko Jusufovic. Sabrina shapes the teaching, the pedagogical direction, course planning and the work with the teaching team. Dubravko is responsible for organization, digital systems, the website, workflows and the technical development of the school. Both make important decisions together. This is how Phonem combines quality teaching with clear organization and modern technology.

Owner, Teaching and Pedagogical Management

Sabrina Alibasic

Sabrina Alibasic is the owner of Phonem Sprachschule and a German teacher with more than ten years of teaching experience. She holds a Master's degree in German Language and Literature and knows adult education from many years of practice. At Phonem, she plans courses, speaks with participants, supports the teaching team and ensures that German is spoken in class rather than just explaining rules. Her manner is calm, clear and patient. This is exactly what many people need when they arrive in Germany and want to feel more confident in the language.

Owner, Organization and Digital Development

Dubravko Jusufovic

Dubravko Jusufovic is the owner of Phonem Sprachschule and brings over 20 years of experience in IT, systems and digital processes. At Phonem, he is responsible for organization, the website, technical solutions, internal workflows and the digital development of the school. Many things that look simple to participants were consciously built this way in the background: registration, communication, documents, course management and fast accessibility. His goal is for the school to not only offer quality teaching, but also to function reliably, modernly and clearly.

Our story

Born from personal experience

Sabrina Alibasic and Dubravko Jusufovic have lived in Germany since 2018. Phonem was founded later in Hannover, born from personal experience, hard work and the desire to make German lessons more personal, clearer and better organized. Both know what it is like to start fresh in Germany, to understand appointments, fill out forms and become more confident step by step. That is why Phonem is not an anonymous school. It is a school where teaching, organization and human interaction belong together.
