Got a question? You’ll find the answer here.

As long as you like – bookable from 1 week. One language level typically takes eight weeks, but you can stay for a shorter period or book multiple levels back to back. Flexible start dates year-round.

No problem. We’ll send you a free placement test before the course starts – no preparation needed. You’ll then be placed in the right group. If after the first few days you feel the level isn’t quite right, a change can be arranged at any time in consultation with your teacher.

Typically 8 to 12 participants – international and mixed. This is intentional: German becomes the only common language in the group, which dramatically accelerates learning.

Exclusively in German, even in beginner courses. Our teachers are experienced at guiding complete beginners in German from day one. It may sound daunting at first, but it’s the most effective method.

One lesson unit is 45 minutes – this is the standard at all our partner schools in Germany and Austria.

Yes. All teachers hold at least a university degree and are specifically certified to teach German as a foreign language (DaF). No temporary or substitute staff.

Yes, private lessons are available at most locations – ideal if you have very specific goals or prefer to learn at your own pace. Drop us a quick message and we’ll check what’s available at your preferred location.

Available on request. Drop us a quick message and we’ll see what’s possible. As our courses often fill up quickly – especially in summer – we unfortunately can’t guarantee availability.

Yes, at the end you’ll receive an official certificate of attendance stating the duration, intensity, and level achieved. If you need an officially recognised qualification for study or work, you can sit a telc exam directly at most of our partner schools. Please note the respective registration deadlines.

Yes. Once payment is received, we’ll issue an official enrolment confirmation by email, suitable for visa purposes. Simply mention it when you sign up.

Of course. If you prefer to book your own accommodation or already have somewhere to stay, that’s no problem – you simply book the course only.

With a host family you live with a private family, join them for meals, and speak German in everyday life – the most effective way to truly absorb the language.

In a residence you stay in a school or student hall. More privacy, more independence – meals are usually self-catered.

In a shared apartment you live with locals or other course participants. Similar to a residence, but in a more natural living situation – ideal for those who prefer a home setting over a dormitory.

It depends on the programme. Many schools regularly organise free or low-cost activities such as city tours, museum visits, and excursions. In summer there are special packages combining the course with a leisure programme. What’s included can be found in the relevant price list.

None. Most programmes run from A1 to B2. Complete beginners with no prior knowledge usually start on fixed dates – please let us know when you enquire. Before the course begins, your child will take a free placement test and be placed in the right group. Full details on available levels and start dates can be found in the price list.

Your child’s safety is our top priority. Depending on the programme, there are experienced supervisors on site around the clock, carefully selected and regularly visited host families, as well as a 24/7 emergency contact for both parents and child. All supervisors are trained in working with minors.

All-inclusive packages cover tuition, accommodation, meals, and the daily leisure programme. Day camp programmes include lessons Monday to Friday, usually lunch, and leisure activities – your child stays in their own accommodation overnight. Full details on each programme can be found in the price list (PDF).

Homesickness is normal and does happen – especially in the first day or two. Our supervisors are trained to gently ease children into the group and help them make connections quickly. In our experience, homesickness fades within two to three days and by the end most children don’t want to leave at all.

We place great importance on a friendly, respectful atmosphere. If conflicts arise, our supervisors step in to mediate and help the children find their own solutions. Parents are always informed in the event of more serious incidents.

Meals are based on balanced, everyday German and international cuisine. A vegetarian option is always available. Please indicate any allergies or special dietary requirements when signing up.
