Our German school in Berlin, founded in 1983, is located in the district of Prenzlauer Berg (Metro: U-2 Eberswalder Strasse), in one of Berlins typical old residential buildings with a subway and tram station just around the corner.

Prenzlauer Berg is currently the liveliest and creative district in Berlin, only a stones throw away from the citys historical centre. This area particularly attracts young people, with its outstanding international cultural scene. At the same time one is able to experience the scruffier side of the city - graffiti, crowded bars and derelict houses.

Our German language school in Berlin is licensed by The European Language Certificates and it offers official language exams. Our German courses are also recognized by CSN, the Swedish student aid organisation.

Our friendly and qualified team of teachers and small groups with a maximum of 10 students make it possible for you to improve your German quickly and effectively in a relaxed and communicative environment, with other students from around the world.

Berlin & Free time activities

Learn German in Berlin, one of the most fascinating European capitals!

About Berlin, Germany Berlin is history: in the twenties it was Europes biggest and most modern city, later the German Nazis turned it into their capital. The city was destroyed by the war, later it became a hotspot of the cold war and then it was divided by the wall for 28 years.

After the wall came down, historic areas in the centre were completely revamped. Nowadays, Berlin is once again one of the greatest European cities: dynamic and inviting. It is not only Germanys political centre, but also its biggest and most culturally diverse city with a unique and vibrant night life.

Are you interested in history and culture? Here you will get an overdose. Berlin has something for everyone - from three opera houses to techno clubs, from art galleries to graffiti on the remains of the Berlin Wall, from Museum Island to Christopher Street Day. If you get tired of visiting cultural events or trendy clubs and meeting new and interesting people, then you can enjoy our big parks, which can be found all over the city. You also can take a trip to the citys green vicinity with its romantic forests and beautiful lakes.

To top it all – Berlin is one of the cheapest metropolises in Europe. Berlin is simply the best.

Our German language school in Berlin is here to help you discover at first hand the new Berlin and the special sides of this fascinating city!

In addition to our summer courses, you are automatically enrolled on a cultural program which includes seminars on history, architecture, art and other relevant topics here in the German capital. Together well visit Berlins well-known (and some not so well-known) attractions, attend cultural events, and enjoy a few surprises we have planned as well! These activities take place 3 times a week.

Our intensive cultural program takes place only during the summer. From September to June there are only individual activities such as theatre visits and excursions twice a month.

What's happening in Berlin?

Culture, Events, Nightlife and more:
  * Karneval der Kulturen: Three day party! The Love Parade is gone - no problem. In its place is a three day parade of people, music and costumes from all corners of the world!
  * Zitty Magazine: The online version of Berlin's bi-weekly city magazine with a complete list of events in Berlin.
  * Kulturbrauerei: A former brewery was transformed into a huge cultural and event centre. Every week concerts, parties and more.
  * Berlinale: The International Berlin Film Festival in February

The accommodation is an essential part of your stay in Berlin; this is why our school pays special attention to its selection, through periodic visits and the feedback from students.

Our German language school in Berlin seeks accommodation in private flats for all students, upon request. Accommodation is always in one of the central districts of the city.

Our hosts are rarely like a classic family model (i.e. married couple with children). Most of our hosts are single people (often with children). In some cases, our students live in a flat share. This means several people (often students) share a flat for both practical and financial reasons.

Your flat-mates may be office workers, or they may be unemployed, they may be artists, students, unmarried couples – that is to say, real Berliners!

If requested we can also arrange accommodation in a private apartment or a room in a pension or hotel, which, however, is more expensive than a shared flat.

You can usually move into your room the day before the course starts and you have to leave the day after the course ends. Anyone who wishes to arrive earlier should tell us in good time. You pay the rent directly to the landlord after your arrival. Prices vary. The exact price depends on the size, condition, features and facilities in the flat.
