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 things suddenly move fast. 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, understanding, reading and writing so you become more confident in everyday life. At work, in meetings, at authorities, at the doctor, at your children's school and in conversation with neighbours. Grammar is a tool, not an end in itself.

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 really speak in class.

Comfortable climate for learning

In the warm summer months air conditioning in our classrooms keeps a pleasant, cool learning climate. Even when Hannover has longer hot periods, classes stay focused and comfortable without stuffy 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, 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 with different roles and a shared idea of quality, accessibility and a real connection to Hannover.

Phonem is run by owners Sabrina Alibasic and Dubravko Jusufovic. Sabrina is responsible for teaching and the pedagogical approach, Dubravko for organisation, systems and the technical basis of the school. That keeps the school personal and professionally set up at the same time.

Our story

From the idea to today

The school started in Hannover in 2023. Our team knows the path to Germany from their own experience. We know what it is like to fill in forms, look for a flat, be reserved in the team at first and still stay politely clear. That is why we explain not only what is grammatically correct but what really helps in Hannover and in Germany in everyday life. When you visit us, you meet a school that takes your step seriously.
