German courses for teenagers in Munich Kastell
There will be 20 lessons of 45 minutes each per week. The maximum number of participants per course is 12 students.
The children start in three different levels: Beginner with previous knowledge, Intermediate, Advanced. Placement is done on the first day. There are no courses for absolute beginners.
The emphasis of the classes is on conversation and interaction. The goal is to break down language blocks and enable spontaneous speaking.
Free time and excursions
You will have German lessons in the morning and after the last lesson the program will start: We will have a barbecue at the Isar, play volleyball or go shopping in Munich. You will get to see all the highlights of the sights Munich has to offer! And we’ll also show you what the region around Munich looks like, as there will be weekend excursions to nearby lakes and into the mountains.

My name is Caitlin and I live in America. I stayed at the Munich Kastell camp for three weeks and I had an amazing time! I learned a lot of German in a short amount of time. I also made many friends who spoke no or very little english so we spoke German with each other and that helped my spoken German! I met many people from all over the world and I am excited to go to more camps in the future!
