It's one thing to study a language at home from heavy textbooks or a fast paced audio recording; it's entirely another thing to travel abroad and spend every day immersed in the language. And while both of these techniques may help you learn useful language skills, only one has been shown to accelerate your language proficiency (hint: it isn’t staying at home!).
We carefully designed this trip to make learning German way easier by immersing you amongst people who speak the language round the clock, getting to experience the language in an entirely unique environment. Trust that in no time we’ll have you not only conversing fluently with the locals, but feeling like a local yourself!
To top it all off, you’re in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Berlin! We provide an entire program for people who wish to complement their German studies with a real world experience. Our staff will take care of everything, from choosing the right class for you to picking suitable lodging, as well as providing you with all the help and assistance you might need before, during, and even after your trip.
So what are you waiting for? Make the decision to study German in Berlin and throw yourself into a new and exciting culture, make lifelong friends, and, most importantly, escape your usual routine back home. This journey is ideal for those who wish to immerse themselves in a new country, learn a new skill and create unforgettable memories while they do it.
Learn German in a structured, but relaxed environment for 30 lessons per week. With smaller class intakes, you will get enough personal attention from the teacher to ensure you get the most out of it.

Exposing yourself to a foreign culture is by far the greatest (and most fun) method to learn a new language. Still, we're all human here, and we understand how overwhelming it can be to just throw yourself into it - that’s where we come in!
Your trip has been finely prepared to ensure that you are as comfortable as possible before embarking on your way to Germany. Rest assured, you'll have our full support! Before you leave, you will have the assistance of your Trip Coordinator and committed staff on the ground to ensure you have a smooth transition into life in Germany.
Throughout your time in Berlin, you will have the opportunity to choose between two different types of accommodation. You can choose to stay in a boarding school with modern rooms on a full board basis, shared with up to two others. Each room has an ensuite bathroom, pleasant furnishing, a TV, and a WiFi connection. Towels and bed linen are provided and replaced on a regular basis. Your second option (and our personal favourite) brings about an entirely different experience, as you’ll be warmly welcomed by a host family for the duration of your trip. In this case, you will either have a room to yourself or share with another traveller, with some meals provided by your host family and others available at the institute. If preferred, students can also stay in private accommodation for an extra weekly charge.
Arrive in Germany knowing that you will be well ahead of any other visitor seeking an authentic European experience. With everything else taken care of, you can unwind and get straight into the experience. Your actual course is located right in Berlin-Mitte, situated in the heart and soul of the city. This area of the city is the birthplace of Berlin, which grew from a tiny town formed beside the Spree River in the thirteenth century. The course comprises of 30 lessons per week, with a minimum duration of 2 weeks up to a whole year. You’ll be assigned to a specific class after taking an initial test on the first day. Each class will be made up of around 10 students to ensure individual attention and an opportunity for everyone to integrate and share this once-in-a-lifetime cultural experience. In the class, you will encounter real-life scenarios with locals who will assist you with the more conversational aspect of German. And when your classes have finished for the day, give the books a break and immerse yourself in the vibrant, exciting city right on your doorstep!
For your convenience, all teaching materials have been included as well as a daily leisure program, weekly excursions, and a certificate of completion. Take the step to learn German in Berlin and reap the immediate benefits. Your certificate of completion will look fantastic to future employers but also progress your personal development and show you a new and exciting part of the world - not to mention the incredible lifelong friends, scenery and food you’ll encounter along the way too!

If you have to make any changes to your departure date, you’re protected with our Lifetime Deposit Guarantee and our Ultimate Corona Booking Flexibility. With this, we will change your trip dates for free. If this doesn’t fit around you and you can’t go on your trip anymore, we will give you a 100% refund in the form of a Trip Credit with us (See terms). If you’re unable to use it, you can also transfer that credit to someone else for them to put towards any trip too.
If you’re affected by Covid-19 while you’re overseas, you will have all the support you need from our team or partners in-country as well as have access to our 24/7 Global Emergency Line. We recommend travellers purchase Global Travel Cover travel insurance that provides Covid-19 medical protection too.
As border restrictions for countries begin to ease, being fully vaccinated will maximise the number of locations you can visit. So while you are not legally required to be vaccinated, and it’s also not a requirement to travel with us, it will limit some of the countries that you can visit and may make it harder to travel through over the next 12-18 months. We highly recommend our travellers look at the current travel restrictions of their destination, speak with a medical professional or get in touch with our team for travel advice.
Our Ultimate Corona Booking Flexibility means you can change your trip’s start date up to 84* days before departure without incurring any charges when you rebook it for any time (or even any other trip) in the next 2 years from your original start date.
In the event that you want to cancel your booking altogether, if you give us over 84* days notice you can do so with only a 50% cancellation fee. Your refund of the balance will come in the form of a Store Credit which you can put towards booking absolutely anything travel related with your Travel Concierge within the next 2 years!
*Some select trips excluded, including Teach (Spain, Italy & Czech Republic) and USA (Summer Camp, Working Holiday and Hotel Professional), and others as listed in Booking Conditions.
