The cafeteria is a popular meeting place during the breaks and also enables an intensive interchange between students and teachers out of lesson time. Here, joint activities for the evenings and weekends are planned and these often form the beginning of a lasting friendship - not only with other students and teachers, but also with the city of Munich. Many of our students return to visit more than once.

The basis of the method used focuses on the modern usage of the German language. BWS focus on the understanding of both, spoken and written language, as well as the ability to express oneself orally and in writing.

The teaching follows a clear progression and aims to train grammar and sentence structures and expand vocabulary. The alternating of teaching methods guarantees optimum learning success. In individual, partner or group work our students train their reading and listening comprehension as well as written and oral expression. The 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.

In addition to excellent classes BWS offers a highly varied program of social/cultural activities which allows students to improve their German, make friends from all over the world and discover Germany. Activities and events include evenings out, film shows, games, competitions and parties. Outside the school you will have the chance to learn about different aspects about German life, culture and history. BWS offers visits to sites of interest, churches, museums, pubs and discos.
