- Bildungsurlaub (lit. 'education holiday') is a legal entitlement in Germany that allows employees to take paid leave from work (in addition to vacation allowance) to attend certified educational courses.
- Most employees in Germany are eligible for Bildungsurlaub, but the exact rules vary by federal state. Generally, you need to have been employed for at least six months. If you're unsure, check your state's specific requirements or ask your employer to confirm your eligibility.
- Each day, you'll take 5 Live Lessons on the Chatterbug platform, which are 45-minute online video sessions, one-to-one with a Chatterbug tutor. In each lesson, your tutor will guide you through fun, conversational exercises from our built-in curriculum, all designed to get you speaking as much as possible.
