The Humboldt-Institut has more than 45 years of experience in teaching German as a foreign language. This makes us one of the most experienced language schools for German courses. We attach great importance to ensuring that students in our courses learn German quickly and effectively.
The special feature of Humboldt’s German courses is their intensity, which – combined with the immersion program – enables our students to make rapid learning progress. Teenagers and adults have 30 lessons per week, children have 25 lessons of German per week.
Especially for students who are learning German in order to subsequently attend a boarding school, to study at university or to work in Germany, a fast learning progress is crucial.
As a member of the FDSV, an association of leading German language travel operators and language schools, the Humboldt-Institut is committed to strict quality guidelines, based on the European language travel standard DIN EN 14804.
The Humboldt-Institut’s German programs and course locations have been tested according to detailed criteria and meet all the requirements and guidelines of the FDSV.
Our experience has shown that small classes play an important role for successful learning. This is why our classes are small, with approximately 10 students each.
As a result, students have an above-average share of speaking time compared to conventional language courses.
Secondly, students are taught by highly motivated teachers holding university degrees. Interactive lessons allow the students to practice and consolidate the content through active application. A variety of teaching methods enrich the lessons, create a positive atmosphere and make learning fun.
Learning in the classroom is essential to become fluent in German, but it’s not enough. During a language course in Germany, you will be able to practice the language throughout the day in a variety of real-life situations.
Our immersion concept, with on-campus accommodation, social activities and meals, creates ideal conditions for speaking as much German as possible in a natural way.
You will feel how your knowledge improves as you make new friends from all over the world in class and during leisure time!
