The Standard Course focuses on learning and actively using language structures – this way the instruction is very much practice oriented. But what does this actually mean? Your teacher will assign you an active role while studying German and will draw you and your fellow students directly into his interactive instruction. We try to avoid that you just sit there passively, listening what the teacher is going to explain up front. Your teacher will help you studying the language by instructing you clearly and thus enabling you to develop and to explain grammatical rules and structures on your own and independently. Because only when you actively understand what you’ve learned you will also memorize and internalize it permanently! In the Standard Course, German language will always be practiced and taught in context by using as far as possible authentic, everyday life language situations. This way you will study language in everyday, professional and university situations – after all, you study towards a well-defined goal and you want to focus on that from the very beginning. Through this practical orientation of the Standard Course, already after a very short time you will gain a solid linguistic basis for making yourself more familiar with the language and culture in Germany, with the country and its people. And this will be true for all areas of modern life, because our modern didactical approach will always concentrate on listening, reading, speaking and writing. Timetable The Standard Course is the perfect choice for students who wish to discover Germany in the afternoons. Participants who want to go over the course topic once more on their own and at home should also decide for the Standard Course since school ends at 12:30 pm every day. The Standard Course is offered every week from Monday to Friday and classes begin at 9:00 am in the morning. Between 10:30 and 11:00 am there is a break and you’ll have plenty of time getting a refreshment in the cafeteria, checking your emails or chatting with your new friends. Sometimes, mostly during the summer months, when the institute is at maximum capacity, we also offer instruction – usually scheduled in the mornings – on some afternoons between 1:00 and 6:00 pm. Thus, you finally will have the opportunity to sleep in late! The course focus on the training of grammatical structures and on familiarizing with everyday vocabulary. In the Standard Course, German language will always be practiced and taught in context by using as far as possible authentic, everyday life language situations. Starting dates for beginners: Jan 6, Feb 3, Mar 3, Apr 7, Jun 2, Jun 30, Jul 14, Aug 4, Sept 1, Oct 6, Nov 3, Dec 1

Unlike the Standard Course, the Intensive Course also provides enough time to work on current topics from politics, culture and science. Hence, the 4 language skills listening, reading, speaking and writing will not only be trained based on a textbook but the teachers also use supplementary, specially selected materials. It is the birthday of a famous German politician or artist? There are interesting political news from Berlin? It often happens that the class will discuss the current news and interesting events in the Intensive Course, that up-to-date topics will spontaneously become part of the program the class was going to work on at the moment. Thus, you study German and you will be fully informed at the same time! The Intensive Course covers 24 lessons. 2 lessons each will be taught Tuesdays and Thursdays in the afternoons. While we closely work with the textbooks most of the time during the morning sessions, the afternoon seminars open up possibilities for an intensive communicative training. The teacher is organizing the instruction in such a way that all participants can actively participate in class, can communicate with each other and discuss their opinions. In such a lively atmosphere you can learn the language easily and spontaneously. And even rather complex grammatical structures are understood easily by being practiced and used creatively. And, of course, we also use these afternoon sessions for preparing the language exams. Timetable With 24 lessons per week, the Intensive Course offers you 20% more instruction than the Standard Course, but there will be still enough time in the afternoons for private activities. The 2 afternoon sessions are always scheduled Tuesdays and Thursdays between 1:00 and 2:30 pm. Wednesdays you will have the possibility making use of our Self-Study Center where teachers can help you with your homework assignments or will answer all the questions on German grammar you might have. Using the Self-Study Center is free of charge! If your goal is to make fast progress, this course with more than 24 lessons per week is the perfect choice for an intensive language training. It differs from the Standard Course by providing possibilities for working with current text materials from politics, culture and economy. Starting dates for beginners: Jan 6, Feb 3, Mar 3, Apr 7, Jun 2, Jun 30, Jul 14, Aug 4, Sept 1, Oct 6, Nov 3, Dec 1

The Premium Course is the ideal possibility to acquire and improve German knowledge very fast. Especially if you plan to stay only for a short period of time, you can still reach more learning goals than in other types of courses. This is not at all surprising – after all, the Premium Course covers 28 lessons per week and is the most comprehensive group course we can offer. The specialty of the Premium Course, however, is that it combines a dynamic group atmosphere with an utmost individual learning flexibility: We expect your contributions, your personal suggestions and ideas, you tell us what you need to study, what you want to learn, or where you still feel having some problems. Far more than in all the other courses, in the Premium Course you and the other students will become the main characters in class, because the course focuses on your participation and relies on your contributions. The educational concept intends to motivate you using the language automatically and intuitively – both in normal, almost everyday situations and in different contexts of professional, work and university situations. In the afternoons, we focus on your individual requests and on your needs regarding additional explanations, practice and exercises: How exactly did this work – the dative case, the passive voice and subjunctive? What are the names for these parts of the car or the computer? What are the linguistic terms for argumentation? You’ve got 4 lessons per week to figure that out! Timetable If you decide taking a Premium Course you are studying very intensively and are spending more time at the institute – after all, you’ve decided to make fast progress and to improve your German language in a very short time! You will see – your success is going to reward you. It also feels good to realize after only a couple of days how much more familiar you became already with the language and how much more confidence you have gained. Your instruction will end at 2:30 pm. The rest of the day belongs to you …you deserve it! Sometimes, mostly during the summer months, when the school has reached a maximum capacity, we also offer instruction – usually scheduled in the mornings – on some afternoons between 1:00 and 6:00 pm. Included in the price: /// Placement test at beginning of course /// Personal assessment interview /// Premium Course with 28 lessons /// Certificate Premium Course /// 2 activities / week (admission and fare not incl.) /// Weekend excursions (admission and fare not incl.) /// University Advisory Service Starting dates for beginners: Jan 6, Feb 3, Mar 3, Apr 7, Jun 2, Jun 30, Jul 14, Aug 4, Sept 1, Oct 6, Nov 3, Dec 1

How do I book a language course / accommodation?
 
Booking with us is really easy. You just have to go to the link of the school you are interested in. Where it says COURSE and then START, you select the dates you wish to study there. Afterwards, you select how many weeks you want to study.

You then select the course you wish to attend. You can add optional services, such as accommodation and airport transfer. If you would like to add these additional services, you need to go further down the page where you will find the section relating to ACCOMMODATION. You select the option of the type of accommodation you want (You do not have to select the dates here if they are the same as the course - they are automatically selected).
After the Accommodation, you have another option,  that of TRANSFER. This option allows you to book a transport that will pick you up at the airport and will take you to your residence or host family.

Once you have selected all these options, on your right hand side, you are going to see a summary of your reservation with all the information about the course and the accommodation, together with their prices. Also, the deposit you have to pay will be displayed there. You just have to press the Orange Button that says BOOK NOW and this will take you to another page to enter your personal details. When you are booking you only have to pay the little deposit. After that, we will contact the school and request your booking. When your booking is confirmed by the school or host, they will hold your place until the your booking balance is paid in full. The same applies for the accommodation. You can pay either with credit card, paypal account or bank transfer; as you prefer. This deposit you pay now will be discounted from the total price. The rest of the money will not have to be paid until 15 days before your course starts.

When do the courses start?
The start dates of intensive and standard language courses are generally flexible. If you have some basic knowledge of the language, you will be able to start any Monday of the year at almost any school. If you are a total beginner, courses usually start once or twice a month.
You should be aware that language schools have more students in July and August than during any other time of year, which means that course fees, housing prices and the overall cost of living are often more expensive during this time. If you would like to book a course in July or August, you should do so very early: schools have limited spots and might be booked well in advance for the high season. Your chances to get your preferred housing type are also greater if you book your course early. Housing options near the school are especially difficult to secure in the summer and tend to fill up quickly.
Language courses during the low season (September to June) are not only less expensive, but also have smaller classes. If you are able to wait to take your courses during this time you will pay less for your courses, and  you may even receive better housing, since demand is much lower. Please, review this information within the language course details on the language school page.
How do I know if a place is available?
 You can find the availability status underneath each price on the school / host page. Nevertheless, if you submit a reservation request and your place is not available, the deposit paid will be 100% refunded.
