German language courses offered in Germany provide the best options for successful learning. Students can choose to learn German in a group course with 20 or 25 lessons per week, or opt for different combinations of group and individual lessons (see below). Each lesson lasts for 45 minutes, and each class accommodates a maximum of 12 students (on average only 7 students).
For the language stay in Germany, various types of accommodations are offered to ensure that each student can fully enjoy their experience. Carefully selected host families provide an immersive stay in the German language and culture. The host family provides bed and breakfast, and the rooms can be double, shared with a student of a different nationality, or single. The half-board option, which includes dinner with the host family, is also available.
For students who prefer more independence, shared student apartments with single and double rooms as well as private studios are offered. Both options are self-catered.
Learning a language is even easier when exploring the country where it is spoken. To ensure a complete German experience, a weekly program including three activities is offered. These can include social gatherings, cultural activities, sports events, or sightseeing tours. Students choose their preferred activities and start their group discovery.
