Study German at German language school in Munich This friendly and lively city, situated at the foot of the Alps, has been able to preserve its unique charm which is expressed through the typical lifestyle of its people: a mixture of tradition and receptivity towards modern life which offers entertainment to the highest degree.
The Bavarian capital Munich is not only famous for its "Oktoberfest".

In individual, partner or group work our students train their reading and listening comprehension as well as written and oral expression. Our main focus is on oral communication, which you can put into practice not only in role plays, language learning games and discussions, but also in the leisure activities with your teachers. Regular tests integrated into the lessons allow course participants to assess their own progress. |  | A written grading test taken before arrival via internet as well as a short oral test on the day of arrival allows us to assign the students into classes according to their level. The course system contains 6 levels. The teaching plan and progression of each level are set according to selected textbooks.

For this, the student has to bring: Tabulated curriculum vitae with school education and work experience, all certificates, certificate of enrolment (if he/she is studying), passport and a photo. We will arrange up to 5 job/internship interviews for the student where he/she can present himself to the possible employer. However, we cannot guarantee that each student gets a job or an internship, since it depends also on the student’s motivation and previous knowledge. The counseling fee is not refundable. |  | - A job is usually paid work where a low level of qualification is required, e.g. working at McDonalds, as a waiter in a café or bar, or any kind of unskilled labor or temporary employment.
- An internship is usually unpaid work and is related to a student’s field of studies or career plans to gain experience and knowledge by training.
Student should be able to work for a minimum of 3 months and have a good knowledge of German. An official reference letter stating length and content of the work placement will be received by all students at the end.
