We were founded in 2003. Since then, students from more than 70 nations have attended courses at our institute. We are very glad that we have been able to help so many people from all over the world to learn German. But we also have many reasons to be grateful to our guests: every day we find out more about a huge variety of cultures and mentalities, something that greatly enriches our own.
Heidelberg's popularity is based on 3 pillars: its location, castle and university. Situated in the valley of Neckar river, the beautiful old town with its sights and narrow, picturesque roads, is easily accessible on foot. Lively main street is ideal for extended shopping: In the pedestrian area no cars or public transport are allowed to disturb the experience.
At our school, we believe that a successful learning plan should impart the knowledge of a foreign language vocabulary in a logical way with a strong emphasis on conversation skills. In a wider sense, this means a didactic and methodical concept that is at the basis of our lesson planning and design. Our methodology is founded on pedagogical principles that integrate conversation with cultural, factual and non-language specific knowledge on other topics, such as ideology, business or politics, in order to give you, the student, the widest range of personal expression in the foreign language.
Our teaching methods provide a highly organized, proven and comprehensive way of learning, which focuses on both audiovisual and practical learning tools. The courses include vocabulary exercises, speaking and listening drills, textual and visual exercises.
Our method is simple and convincing. It is based on the experience gained from teaching German as a foreign language:
- highly qualified and committed native speakers as teachers, whose priority is the interests of the learners;
- academically based, appealing material;
- a relaxed and cheerful working atmosphere, where the emphasis is on plenty of practice;
- natural communication in the foreign language German right from the first lesson;
- helpful explanations and motivating tasks for the learners;
- small classes with an average of 5-12 students;
- many different course levels and a careful assessment of level in consultation with the learners;
- weekly achievement tests and individual feedback for each student;
- a responsible head of teaching, who, through his experience and academic qualifications;
- guarantees that all the teachers structure their teaching in the best possible way;
- a director who is always open to suggestions and questions from her customers.
