WHAT WE LIKE - Key features of this program By studying in several locations, it allows the student to see more of the country, and experience the regional differences in both culture and language. Students will spend a month in each city, live with a host family, study 4 lessons of German daily and enjoy many cultural activities related to that region. Live in three different cities - experience the difference in regions, culture and atmosphere - experience regional dialects - live & eat with local host families - airport pick included at all locations - make new friends each month!

This program is designed to give students the experience of studying the German language abroad in three different, exciting locations in Germany:

MUNICH: A city whose motto Die Weltstadt mit Herz (The world city with a heart) rings true! Brimming with Baroque architecture, fascinating museums, stately palaces, scenic lakes, and majestic cathedrals, Munich is bound to impress.

FRANKFURT: Has now developed into Europe's second largest financial center after London and is the home to the European Central Bank. However, business and trade is only one side of Frankfurt's amazing diversity, its story is just as impressive. Karl the Great resided here and this city is also the birthplace of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the famous poet.

BERLIN: One of Europe's great cities. Visitors will be pleasantly surprised by a city with some of the liveliest nightlife in Europe. In Berlin today there are everything from authentic beer halls and old Soviet era haunts, right through to buzzing style bars and Latino nightclubs. Berlin's climate is equally eclectic with hot summer days giving way to freezing temperatures, with clear blue skies, in winter.

On the weekend many students can arrange to take excursions to local cities or local places of interest.

Host Family - private room / 2 meals daily.

Living with a host family is probably the best and most effective way to become fully immersed into the language and culture of your chosen country. All families are chosen after a careful selection procedure and are visited regularly by the school to ensure that high living standards are maintained. As many of our host families live in the surrounding neighborhoods, the trip to school, is usually not more than 10 to 25 minutes away.

However, you should also have realistic expectations and recognize that an element of flexibility is required to adjust to the local customs and way of life. Your host family may not have the same comforts as your own home but you will always be treated as a guest and free to come and go as you wish.
