Germany | Berlin | A Level German Revision
A Level Revision
These courses are available throughout the year starting every Monday. Students can travel for a week, two weeks or longer. We are able to tailor packages to suit your requirements and the time you have available.
Location
The vibrant city of Berlin is a fantastic place to study. With its incredible history, architecture and lively café culture, you will never be short of something to do or somewhere to explore.
Our partner Language School in Berlin offers a truly premium experience. Sitting in an impressive 16000 m² campus in über trendy Berlin Prenzlauer Berg, it is a green oasis in the centre of the city. The campus offers 60 state of the art classrooms, a great cafeteria which is open for breakfasts and lunches, a restaurant for evening dining options, a historic swimming pool, a book shop, help desk open from 7am – 9pm, free WiFi, computer room and numerous lounge and socialising areas inside and outside of the buildings. This really is an outstanding location in which to study.
Language Course
The course concentrates on learning and actively using the language – this way the tuition is very much practice oriented. During the morning you will participate in group sessions with other students of a similar German level to you, with lessons focusing on improving all aspects of the German language. In the afternoons, you will then have an additional 10 small group classes spread over the week, to enable you to practise and perfect your German in a smaller group setting (5-8 students maximum).
This course is ideal for A Level students as it develops confidence, fluency and vocabulary. It is intended to support students in preparation for exams but also generally improve their German skills.
Optional Social and Cultural Programme
The school offers a range of social and cultural activities including: gallery visits, boat trips along the River Spree, seminars, guided nights out and full day excursions on Saturdays.
Accommodation
Host Family
For students wanting to completely immerse themselves in the German language and culture we recommend that you stay with one of our carefully selected German host families. They will not only introduce you to the German way of life and help you practise the German language but will also give you a taste of local and delicious regional specialities. The host families are situated within the Berlin area within good reach of the school by foot or U-bahn / S-bahn (underground/train).
Host Family accommodation includes half-board catering (breakfast & evening meal) from the Sunday before your course starts to the Saturday after it finishes.
Subject to availability, an extra day on one side of your trip may be available on request to facilitate flight dates. A surcharge is payable for any extra nights.
You can read more about what it means to stay with a host family in our Host Family Guide.
* Please note that unlike in France and Spain where families are vetted using the local equivalents of the UK DBS check, in Germany hosts are not required to undertake a police check. Hosts are stringently vetted by the accommodation officer attached to the language school and students' reviews of hosts are used to inform the suitability of hosts for future use.Â
Residence
Please note residence accommodation is only available for students over 17 years old.
The school has a range of beautifully appointed single and twin, self-catering apartments situated on the school campus. Apartments include a fully equipped kitchen, private bathroom, TV, phone, WiFi, bedsheets and towels. The facilities are ideally located for access to the school and local facilities, including cafés, restaurants, bars and shops.
