2 Understanding and speaking the German language as well as knowledge about habits and customs in Germany are essential parts of a successful high school exchange. Therefore, we offer this intensive German language and culture course in cooperation with highly motivated and experienced language teachers to provide our exchange students with the essentials of German. In this course, you will have the excellent opportunity to improve your knowledge of German depending on your prior linguistic proficiency.

After completing the course, you will receive a certificate showing your personal language ability. Another plus for our students this course will be those are the biggest German cities.

3 Hamburg - also called the gate to the world The city is the second biggest in Germany and has a lot to offer: impressive sights, a harbour mood and a multicultural atmosphere, an exciting history and exciting stories and so much more. What was the Hamburg Firestorm? What does Hansestadt mean? Where do people relax in Hamburg? What is their favourite food? What is a Fischkopp? These and many more questions we will answer together. Our goal is for you to take unforgettable memories of this Hamburg experience home with you. After we spend two weeks in Hamburg and learn about the German culture and of course practice German very hard, we will go to Berlin for one more week. Berlin is a very special metropolis and appeals because of its unique charm. An unbelievable number of sights can be seen, reflecting the mind-set and Zeitgeist of the city and at the same time the rich history and drama of the 20th century. Among other sites, we will visit the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag, Checkpoint Charlie and see what remains of the Berlin Wall. On a Berlin-rally you will explore the city`s sights by yourself and also have some free time to do shopping or sport. Depending on the weather and the interests of the group we will go to one of the great Museums Berlin is famous for, explore Berlin by boat or go on a tour through the Berlin graffiti art scene, which the city is famous for.
