Why Hamburg?
A cosmopolitan city that brings German to life
Hamburg is Germany’s most international port city—open, cosmopolitan, and home to people from all over the world. After class, you head straight into a city that puts your German to the test: at a café, at the harbor, at the market. Add to that a language school with a long tradition right in the heart of the city, that’s what makes Hamburg one of the most ideal places to learn in Germany.
A modern school with a long tradition
Decades of experience teaching German as a foreign language with the goal of opening up new worlds through language. This continuity is evident in the classes, the teaching methods, and the welcoming atmosphere.
International Community
The school attracts students from all over the world. The only common language in the classroom is German which makes every day a real-life language practice experience.
Official telc Test Center
telc exams can be taken directly at the school, including the telc C1 Hochschule. Targeted preparation courses are available for registration. Evening courses and private lessons are also offered.
As soon as the teacher asks a question, hands go up all over the room. You don’t see that kind of motivation in every classroom.
