Location

Munich is the Bavarian capital city and is the third-largest German city behind Berlin and Hamburg. Alongside its wealth of beautiful and historic architecture, Munich enjoys excellent public transport and connections to the rest of Germany.

The German language school is located just a 6 minute walk from Marienplatz in the centre of the picturesque old town. There is a fully equipped kitchen for use of students that is a popular hangout space between studies. The school also has a study centre for students to use.

Language Course

The language course comprises 20 lessons of 45 minutes length each, which concentrate on learning and actively using German. The school caters for students with a basic level of German to more advanced German speakers. The tuition is very much practice oriented, you will participate in group sessions alongside other students of a similar level, with lessons focused on improving all aspects of the language; speaking listening, reading and writing. There are 4 classes per day and these take place during the morning. Outside of lesson times there is a varied programme of leisure activities, visits and excursions to introduce you to German culture, sports and lifestyles.

You will be given a written assessment before you travel and a speaking assessment on the first morning before lessons in order to place you in the group most suited to your ability level. Classes have an international flavour and a lively feel because they are grouped by ability not nationality.
