Mornings: German classes. Only German is spoken in the classroom and the teachers are demanding. Students study and practice German: 1/ Grammar, 2/ Composition, 3/ Vocabulary & 4/ Conversation – in total for three hours of structured study per day.

Students are divided into classes based on their levels of ability. They are drawn from a wide range of native languages, so only German is spoken, from the first day of the course.  The goal of the programme is to improve the practical language abilities of the student. This is why theoretical teaching of German grammar is kept to what is necessary and meaningful. Points of grammar are illustrated principally in practical contexts and situations. In addition to the teaching materials which the language school teachers put together themselves,  films, CDs, pod-casts, newspapers and recent articles will be used as learning tools. Teaching topics are kept up-to-date and, above all, selected and compiled to appeal to the tastes of younger people.

Afternoons: Two afternoons of additional German classes and three afternoons of water sports, activities or excursions.
