Enjoy a German language course in Germany at our language school in the city of Berlin.

After a fifty-year lull Berlin is back, as the capital of a reunified Germany, and as one of Europe's great cities. Today, tourism is on the rise as visitors come to savor the intoxicating mix of old and new. The vast sprawl of the city has pockets of attractions dotted all over.

Students will be pleasantly surprised by a city with some of the liveliest nightlife in Europe. There's everything from authentic beer halls to swanky bars and nightclubs. Berlin's climate is equally eclectic with hot summer days giving way to freezing temperatures and clear blue skies, in winter.

SCHOOL FACILITIES - Central downtown location - 40 spacious and bright classrooms - Great facilities including cafeteria, social area, a large TV room, bicycle rental etc - On-site residence

Our school is located in the artsy Prenzlauer Berg district in the former East Berlin, which is quickly becoming one of Berlin's trendiest neighborhoods.

Established in 1983, our school is one of the leading teaching centers for German and is now officially registered with the Berlin Senate. The area is nicknamed casting alley due to frequent fashion and film shootings. The school neighbourhood has over 40 bars, stores, a yoga and dance studio and the Kulturbrauerei, a brewery turned entertainment complex housing cinemas, theaters and cafes.

The spacious school facility is situated on a tree-lined campus, divided between two buildings, boasting a large garden with a cafeteria serving snacks, sandwiches and more. In the summer the terrace is a perfect place for barbecues or socializing after classes.

Host Family: (private room, 2 meals daily)
Living with a local host family is the most effective way to become fully immersed in the language and culture. All families are carefully selected and visited regularly to ensure quality standards. We choose only quality families who have a genuine interest in international exchange. Many families live near the school, however, as Berlin is a large city, the commute can be up to 50 minutes.

Apartment Share: (private room, no meals)
You have a single room in an apartment you share with one or more Germans and prepare your own meals. Your roommates will be between 20 - 50 years old, university students or professionals. Often you develop close contacts with the Germans in your apartment. This is great for practicing your German. Apartments are also located up to 50 minutes away from the school.
