The Full immersion program is the program involving you totally in the language environment, so you are not only learning the German language during lessons but also apart from the classes. The private atmosphere encourages you unconsciously to speak German free without any inhibitions. The teacher will instruct you not only during the lessons but all the time. In this program, you get rid of daily traveling to and from school and of contact with any students speaking your mother language.
This is the best opportunity for one´s experience, living with and being taught by the private teacher. In some cases, you can be placed in a German family and a teacher comes daily to you for giving lessons. The advantage of such a program is - listening to German speech from different parts. This supports your listening comprehension.
After the classes the learning process goes on, as you participate in the family's daily and social activities, taking part in the life of a typical German family as any family member. This way you learn the mentality of the culture, which gives you the opportunity to get the feeling for the language in its natural environment, so you 'live the language'.
The students can book from 10 to 30 private lessons per week with your teacher within one to 12 weeks.
Homestays are carefully selected and offer students the opportunity to learn more about the local culture in a comfortable setting while studying German in Berlin. These homes are often between 25 - 50 minutes away from the school by public transport. Families usually offer affordable meal plans that allow you to sample the local cuisine. If you have special requests or diet restrictions (because of religion or health reasons), please let us know in advance. Your housing starts on the Sunday before your first day of class and ends on the Saturday after your last day of class, unless otherwise noted. Learn more about homestay housing
