Alastair Holt 12 wks in Berlin German Languages for Life course I am training to become a solicitor in London I thought it would be a great idea to learn German in Germany during my Gap Year to help my career, as I believed it would be a fantastic experience ; one that would broaden my […]

Jenny Ashford 1 week German course in Berlin Standard Course  I was hoping to learn some basics and make some friends in the class to spend time with sightseeing/socialising when not in class.  My trip really exceeded by expectations  : ) The lessons were brilliant, much better than German language lessons I remember from Secondary […]

James Fraser 4 weeks in Berlin Standard Course As I was an absolute beginner, I was looking forward to a challenging, perhaps difficult, but interesting course, to meet students from different cultures and backgrounds also to visit many areas within the locality.

The lessons at the […]

Sarah James 4 wks in Berlin German Standard Course I’d only learnt German at school so expected it to be very much the same experience at the German language school in Berlin, maybe a bit more intense because German was the only subject being studied.  I was pretty nervous before I went.  CESA even warn you […]
