Accomodation

Host family
Our language school in Berlin organises accommodation for students and has a very good network of carefully selected host families to choose from. They are located about 30 minutes from the school and offer accommodation in single rooms with breakfast only or with half-board.

Student apartments
The WG shared apartments are well established in the German culture and allow students to live independently and centrally, with German people. In individual bedrooms, the flatmates share a kitchen, living room and bathroom. This is an advantageous option, particularly financially: Berlin is full of inexpensive restaurants!

Leisure

Guided visits to Berlin’s sites of interest are programmed during the week, allowing you to discover the breadth of German culture and language through the city’s wide range of attractions. This unconventional town will meet all your expectations if you like parties, concerts or art exhibitions. At weekends it is possible to organize one- or two-day trips outside Berlin to discover cities such as Dresden, Leipzig or even Prague. Nightlife enthusiasts will certainly enjoy this city that never sleeps.
