GERMAN 50+
Tuition
Have you been thinking for a while about refreshing your German language skills and would you like
to explore a new city with other interested students? Then this is the right course for you. Learning takes place in small groups with other 50+ students, from 10.00 until 11.30 Mondays through Fridays two weeks long. Thus you can systematically improve your oral and written skills. The language trainers will discuss current events and will be able to address individual interests, because of the small class size. To help improve your learning our computer room is available, with study programs designed to accompany the text books. You will be invited to join us for two group outings weekly. And one evening per week is reserved to enjoy the atmosphere of one of the typical regional festivals. At the weekend day-long excursions are planned.
