About the program

In three and a half weeks, you will effectively learn the many facets of the German language together with participants from all over the world. Whether you are a beginner, advanced, or almost a native speaker – we offer the right language level for everyone.

In the mornings our intensive courses will provide you with the opportunity to  learn interesting facts about Germany and the German culture in addition to practising  speaking, comprehension, and grammar. In the afternoons, we work on projects in the Sprachenzentrum and many interesting and historically complex places in Weimar. Come along on this voyage of discovery: in the footsteps of Schiller, Goethe, Wieland, and the Bauhaus, you will learn the German language in active and practical use! The course program includes free visits to exciting cultural sites such as the Goethe House, the City Palace, or the new Bauhaus Museum. After class our amazing accompanying programme awaits you!
