School description

Learning German is nowhere more exciting than in Berlin! The German Capital has developed within only a few years again to a genuine metropolis. Berlin is certainly not beautiful, not elegant and glamorous – but it is cool and trendy, full of variety and so refreshingly different that you have to experience it yourself when you want to understand why it is attractive to so many people. If you decide for one of our Residence Courses in Berlin you will not only see a fascinating world metropolis, but you will also get the opportunity to meet people from the most different nations and cultural backgrounds. What could be more fun than discovering Berlin together with your new friends you have made while studying German!

The residence finds itself not only in Berlin’s most central district, Berlin-Mitte, but also in the cultural heart of the capital.From there, all of the important sites can be easily reached on foot. From the Reichstag to the Chancellor’s Office to the Brandenburg Gate, each is a maximum fifteen-minute walk. Potsdamer Platz as well as the Holocaust and Berlin Wall Memo-rial are in immediate vicinity of the residence. And with Berlin’s central train station practically at the door (a short 5 minute walk), all the other attractions can be quickly reached. The residence building offers all amenities: double and four-bed rooms with en suite bathroom and toilet facilities, a sky lounge with a spectacular view of the city, a rooftop terrace, a big garden and the most modern of seminar rooms.

"I loved the experience."

Milena Krzeminska, student from Poland

The classes were nice but too easy for me and so sometimes boring, but I enjoyed the time with my friends. The food in the hostel wasn’t the best, and there was also the issue with security and people stealing money from rooms. The actual location of the hotel was very good as it was close to the public transport and park.

Also, the hostel was really great in itself regarding the facilities. The activities were very good the first week, but slightly boring the second as the museums we went to weren’t the most interesting( and the swimming pool was extremely full with people). I loved meeting new people and staying in Berlin, and being allowed free time, in which we also went to pride, and it was quite well organized in some aspects.

However, in other ways it wasn’t as organized as the supervisors did not communicate well with each other at times so some teachers would be kept in the dark.

All in all, I really loved the trip and it was extremely memorable.

Ask a question

"The student would actually like to study for 3 weeks beginning on July 29, and he wants the Homestay - Double Room- BB accommodations. Can you please confirm that this is available?"

Since our adult programs are not suited for teenagers, I would suggest your client to participating in our junior program named U20 in Frankfurt - Germany.
The program for U20s includes course and accommodation, a transfer return, full board, one full-day and two half-day trips per 2 weeks, sports and evening activities, supervision by trained group leaders and plenty of other extras.

"The student's level is "beginner" and is below the minimum required level of "elementary" required to join the course below. Can you make an exception and accept our student into the program? Alternatively, do you have a placement test that we can ask the student to fill out to accurately determine his level?"

The elementary level is an absolute requirement as we cannot slow down the entire class for a single student.
