Frequently asked questions

Why study German in Germany?

A German language course in Germany is perfect if you want to learn German grammar, vocabulary, and idiom quickly and accurately. German pronunciations and long compound words can sometimes cause learners to stumble, but if you study German in Germany, you will be surrounded by knowledgeable German speakers every day.

Furthermore, you will pick up better pronunciation, and you will see that those intimidatingly long words are simply several smaller (and often more common) words placed together. With Germany's re-emergence as a major world economic power, it pays to learn German in Germany.

  • Learn German in Munich, the iconic city in the south of Germany famous for being a student destination and for the Oktober fest that runs every year; if you like mountain sports, this is the destination for you, as it is just a one-hour train ride from hiking trails and ski resorts on the Alps.
