Germany is large and diverse
- but if you could only see one part,
and if in that part you could roll
all its facets into one, that part
should be Munich. As the capital of
Bavaria, it's everything you'd expect
of a typical, and stereotypical, German
city. It's true that they eat sausage
and drink
beer - but, with the city's fascinating history
and spectacular location, you'll also find grand
palaces and fairytale castles to say nothing of
a huge range of outdoor activities in the gorgeous
surrounding countryside. Add to this the excellent
national and international transport links, to
say nothing of the city's own sophisticated public
transport system, and it's hardly surprising that
Munich is now only second to Berlin as the most
visited city in Germany.
The
School
Housed in new, modern premises, the
school is located in the very heart
of Munich. It has 46 classrooms, a
seminar room, video room, computer
room and cafeteria as well as an attractively
landscaped courtyard. The school is
easily accessible by public transport
from any part of the city.
The method of teaching means you speak German,
and therefore begin to think in German, from the
very outset. This direct, intensive way of learning
serves as a constant challenge to utilise and
add to your vocabulary and knowledge of grammar,
as creatively as possible. In addition, it helps
you gain self-confidence while contributing to
the fun of learning a foreign language. The experienced
teaching staff is composed entirely of highly
qualified university graduates.
Client
Feedback
"The teacher
was excellent and I got a lot out
of the course. The school was very
efficient in its operations, and classes
were exceptionally well structured
with dynamic, motivated staff. Oh,
and don't leave Munich without trying
its sausage speciality, 'weisswurst'!"
