Sprachcaffe/Languages PLUS only teaches a language in the country in which it is spoken. That makes the country, city and its people an important part of the learning concept. You will study in a relaxed way, without having to fear making mistakes - in fact it is much like having a discussion in a "caffe linguistico". Hence the name of this organisation, created with the word play of "Sprach" meaning language and communication and "Caffe", the atmosphere we aim to create at all of our schools around the world. The advantage for you: Our courses broaden your horizons by exposing you to students from all over the world. The locations of all schools were selected not only for positive teaching purposes, but also for their attractive surroundings that are ideal for leisure and cultural activities. Therefore, for each language, you can choose between the electrifying atmosphere of large modern cities or the peace and charm of smaller cities and provincial towns.
