About us
An institute built to take Arabic speakers to German, properly
Meilenstein Institut is an independent online institute and a complete learning platform for German, for Arabic speakers. It was founded by the teacher Mohamed Yousef from Egypt.
Why “Meilenstein”
A Meilenstein is the milestone at the side of the road that tells you how far you have come. Figuratively, it is a decisive achievement on a long journey. Our motto: Weil jeder Meilenstein wichtig ist, because every milestone matters.
The idea of the logo
The mark is the letter m of Meilenstein, built from two arcs in a row: a round arc and a pointed arc, like two stations on the same road. The orange column in the middle carries both arcs and also reads as the i of Institut: the institute that supports you between one milestone and the next.
How we teach
