"Great time in Berlin"

Tereza Miksteinová, student from Czech Republic

In general I liked German course a lot. The location is great because it is really near by U-bahn, or you can park your bicycle near by the building. According to classes I enjoyed them a lot. Both teachers were helpful, educated and friendly. Our course had just 3 students, which was really surprising but it helped the improvement of our speaking skills.
I stayed at my friends flat so I didn´t have to use housing which was adverted at websites of inlingua.

"Brilliant way to spend one week in Berlin!"

Hans Fonsdal Kass, student from Denmark

Inlingua Berlin lived 100 % up to my expectations.
I was on a 1 week intensive 26 hrs/week course, and according to my preliminary test I should have been at B1 level, but on-site they believed that I should participate on B2 level. The B2 level was quite intense, but not a problem due to the very competent teachers and good facilities. I had 3 afternoon sessions face-to-face, which was very rewarding for me.

All in all I enjoyed the week in Berlin including the weekends which gave additional options for using the language.

Definitely recommendable, and I am already considering going again in the fall for 2 weeks on B2/C1 level.

"Great opportunity to discover the German language and Berlin"

Ismael Fikri, student from Morocco

Everything went perfectly with the school except a bad experience with my first landlady who was a rather special person.

Fortunately, the school quickly reacted and found me a second adorable host family!

"Nice experience"

Anne Lainto, student from Finland

I had one week language course and I was really happy with it. It was great that we spoke a lot and many of the exercises were done through conversations. The teachers were very nice and the whole atmosphere at the school was relaxed and welcoming.

"It gave me a lot of fun."

Sander Wijnroks, student from Netherlands

I have had two great teachers who had taught me well. Now I felt that I have improved my German and I feel more confident to go to Reutlingen University for five months.
The access to the school by public transport was good. I did not use the school facilities, except for the WiFi. I found the activities were okay and well organized, also the variation was good.
The housing was great and my host family was great as well.

I have really liked my stay in Berlin!

"Holiday German refresher"

Sarah Attias, student from Switzerland

Having two teachers during the week made the language course very dynamic. I definitely enjoyed afternoon activities organized by Inlingua, where I learned and saw all sorts of interesting things I would never have come across otherwise. The school also had a great diversity of students, with students taking summer classes as well as foreigners living in Berlin. Very nice teachers and staff: THANK YOU ALL!

"Fabulous week in Berlin"

Jennifer Gelman, student from USA

I took this class as part of a holiday week in Berlin. I love the location of the school-- it is easily accessible by bike and there is a lovely cafe downstairs where you can sit and do your homework before classes begin. Even though I was only there for one week, my classmates were very friendly and welcoming. And it's a great mix of people: a woman from Barcelona, one from Portugal, a young man from Brazil and two from Syria. I had two instructors and I liked both of them a lot. We covered a lot of ground in the week I was in class and everybody had a good time doing it.

Basically, I had lots of fun and I wish I could have stayed longer.

"Central location, good learning environment."

Dianne McGowan, student from Italy

Very good location and proximity of the school and to the home stay. Staff were supportive and has a friendly environment . One week wasn't long enough, but I was happy with my progress and felt I had been assigned in a class appropriate to my level. I would be happy to return again.

"Very good atmosphere"

Vinh Pham, student from USA

The school was near my apartment and close to the U-Bahn, so it was easy to get to. The staff was helpful and the teachers were very dedicated to their work. They were very accommodating when I wanted to switch courses. I did a three-week course and I learned a lot. It's nice that the teachers switch up during the week so you feel as though you get some variety. However, this does cause some overlap, which may or may not be good depending on who you talk to.

"Motivating, encouraging and welcoming place to learn"

Catherine Harris, student from Germany

The teaching staff are very reliable, interested in people and encouraging to language learners. The course is by immersion, and includes both course work, homework and online learning activities. I have found my group members motivated, and we all participated equally in the class work.

I have been able to stay with the same group, even with a one week break in the middle of my 6 weeks of intensive language learning. The teachers are alert to the different reasons why people are learning the language and help us all to find relevant examples when learning new grammar subjects and themes.

"Great learning environment!"

Jeanette Lyng, student from Denmark

I had a great week at inlingua in Berlin. Before the course, I had completed a placement test online, and I was put in the perfect class. The teachers were excellent, and my co-students and I had a great time.
I have definitely improved my German skills a lot. I was challenged by the teachers, and had to work hard, but this definitely helped my learning process.
The location of the school is perfect, and quite close to my hotel.
I have nothing bad to say - I enjoyed it all.

"A fantastic introduction to German in the heart of Berlin"

Jesse Gildesgame, student from Germany

The staff at inlingua Berlin were extremely accommodating, professional, friendly, competent, and helpful. The school is in a great location near the center of Berlin and is easily accessible via public transportation.

Classes are small (3-7 people). The teachers really know what they're doing. They personalize lessons and make the learning process fun. They cover a well-balanced mix of grammar, vocabulary, speaking, writing, reading, and listening skills.

They offer a great array of activities outside of classes, which are worth checking out.

Vielen Dank!

"I had a great time in school and in Berlin."

Nezar Gatata, student from Libya

In general, everything was excellent. The school location was in a center where you can find all the shops.
The classes were very good. The teachers were friendly. I had a small issue with my host family, but it was solved after 2 days. It was not what I agreed at the first time.
The activities were not that fun and interesting. I studied at Inlingua school in Malta, and the activities were very fun and enjoyable there.

Coming home in Berlin

The feeling of coming home is important. An atmosphere of retreat, security and comfort. We are afraid that we are unable to offer you accommodation in the palace of Charlottenburg, but we can provide a wide range of possibilities to meet all tastes. Whether you want a shared room in a youth hostel or a suite in a luxury hotel - we can advise and book the right room for your stay. A room in a shared flat is the most common form of accommodation for young people in the city, giving an ideal oppotunity to meet and talk to people - in German. All our flats are usually situated in the City Centre, surrounded by museums, theatres, restaurants, bars and shopping facilities. To get to the school it will take between 20 and 50 minutes by public transport.
You will have your own room, equipped with a bed and cupboard, as well as a desk where you can do your homework. You will have access to the entire flat, and you will share the kitchen and bathroom with other flatmates or with the landlord.

Coming home

Those who stay with a host or host family are able to directly experience authentic life and culture. The clients become involved in everyday life, participating in excursions and discussions. It is certainly this form of accommodation which promotes language skills most effectively and is to be highly recommended for all of those who like being with other people and who wish to get an insight into Berlin life. It is however important to remember that not all families in Berlin are "traditional" with 2 parents and 2 children. There are just as many singles and single parents looking forward to welcoming you.

Questions and answers

Have questions? Get answers from inlingua Berlin staff, Language International student advisors, and past students.

Ask a question

"1. The students are from Venezuela and need CADIVI approval to obtain funds for the course. Are you familiar with this procedure? To get this approval from the Venezuelan government they need a stamped and signed letter of acceptance that includes a detailed class schedule and also a breakdown of the price of the course. The letter should be translated to Spanish if possible. Can you prepare this letter for our student? 2. The student read in your website that she would have to make the payment to Panama and right now Venezuela has no relations with Panama? Is that correct or would she make the payment to a bank in another country? 3. The students would liek to stay in the same apartment? Is it possible to arrange it? With how many people would they have to share?"

1. Yes we are familiar with this procedure and have documents in Spanish, but please note that we need at least the payment of 2 weeks of tuition in oder to have a cover in case they are not able to attend our courses and inform us at the last minute, which can generate fees from our side (pay the accommodation provider, one space blocked for the student that we cannot sell anymore, etc….)
2. I guess that the students read the information about our agency in Panama, but our school of Berlin has a bank account in Germany so they can do a bank transfer from whatever country.
3. Yes it's possible, but please note that our shared apartments in Berlin are not "students apartments", students leave with local people. At the moment I cannot tell you with how many people they will leave, but it could be with a single woman, or a couple.
