Students who wish to be independent and lead a relaxed life with international backpackers, taking it easy during the language course, may choose to stay at a youth hostel during the language course.  There are various hostels within walking distance of  Institute, however these may be booked out months in advance and the prices for a single-room may be similar to those of small hotels!  So make sure you come to a decision as soon as possible.  Should you choose this kind of accommodation, we will charge you a one-off reservation fee and you will pay the accommodation costs in cash on arrival.

The course

The course centre is located in the middle of Berlin, just a stone’s throw from the main shopping area of West Berlin .  You will be together with other young people from all over the world in small groups and will learn to speak fluent German quicker than you ever imagined!  Your language course is full of fun activities and uses modern hands-on teaching methods, so that even in a short space of time you will make great progress. 

Afternoon Programme

After the completion of morning courses our young, dynamic team will make sure you have a great time with a full programme of organised afternoon activities both in and around Berlin !  Close to the institute there are shops, cafes, parks, plenty of city sights and the Berlin zoo while the City of Berlin and nearby Potsdam offer hundreds of opportunities for exciting activities and excursions.  A variety of activities are on offer such as city-tours, excursions to Potsdam and other places of historical interest, barbecues, discos, concerts, sports, special creativity workshops, DVD evenings, trips to museums and galleries, 3D-cinema and even to the beach (yes Berlin does have one!!). All teen activities are accompanied by pedagogically qualified staff. 

Accommodation

Various accommodation solutions are available.  For groups, accommodation is organised in shared rooms in a youth hostel.  Small groups share a room.  The group leader lives in the hostel for the duration of the course, ensuring the safety and well-being of the group around the clock.  Single-rooms are also available for participants at an extra price, if required.  For individual applicants, we also offer a host-family option, enabling you to experience German family life for the duration of the course and giving you a unique insight into German culture.  Note for parents:  please note that in this case the trips to and from school will NOT be accompanied.
