Study German in Berlin at GLS German Immersion language school

Program Overview: AZ Berlin

The German language school in Berlin was founded in 1983 and today is one of the leading institutions teaching German as a foreign language in Germany. AZ Berlin is recognized as a school for continuing education by the Berlin Senate and is a member of the International Association of Language Centres IALC and IQ Deutsch. Both associations submit their members to regular quality control. The German language school is also accredited by various US universities and by the Swedish government who grants scholarships for the German language programs. In addition to teaching German to individual students, the German school also offers intensive language training for a number of national and multinational companies in and around Berlin. Among the companies that study with our German school in Berlin are Bosch-Siemens, Lufthansa-Service-Gesellschaft, Bankgesellschaft Berlin and Deutsche Welle TV.

The school is open all year round for students and professionals aged 16 and older. The Geman school has two floors with bright classrooms in a recently restored commercial building in the Berlin district of Schoeneberg. Marlene Dietrich lived in a house across the street and till today Schoeneberg is one of the capital´s most popular districts. The school has space for approximately 70 students per month. Students that want to learn German in Berlin come in from all over the world.

The German school in Berlin offers German courses all year round for students of every level. All courses are complemented by after-class activities in and around Berlin. The school can arrange for anything from excursions to various types of accommodation.

The German language immersion school uses a communicative approach and from the first day of classes German is the only language spoken in class. A placement test assesses your level of German. Regular exams allow you to monitor your progress. Courses finish with a language certificate describing your level of German in detail.

Berlin is Germany´s most exciting city and our German school in Berlin helps you to explore it: All German courses at the language school are completed by an activity program guided by school staff. Activities take place in the afternoons, evenings and at weekends several times a week - a good opportunity to socialize and share impressions with other students from all around the world. All guides have been trained by the language school and as real "Berliners" they not only know all the tourist attractions, but will also show you hidden parts and corners, tourists hardly ever get to see. You are guided at no extra cost, except entrance fees and ticket for public transport. Your student card entitles you to special reductions on all means of public transport, some cinemas, museums and expositions.
