School description

Intensive courses

In Berlin the Humboldt-Institut offers German summer courses for teenagers. Every week, from Monday to Friday, 30 lessons are taught in small classes. The lessons and the learning content are specially adapted to the age group of teenagers. Through varied forms of learning and a high proportion of speaking, our teachers motivate all students to actively participate in the lessons. The lessons are designed and created especially for young people: They are interactive and fun, yet challenging and very effective.

Full package offer

The summer courses in Berlin are offered as a complete package including accommodation, full board, daily leisure activities and excursions.

Language levels

We offer German courses for language levels A1 to B2 according to the Common European Framework of References for Languages

Class Size

Our classes consist of approx. 11 students. Such a small size ensures that individual attention is given to every single course participant. As we focus very much on the communicative approach of the language, while not neglecting grammar, we give heed to make every student talk and participate.

Tests

All course participants take a weekly exam which covers all the course content taught the preceding week so that students and teachers alike can assess the progress made in the German language.

Homework

Our students are also expected to do some homework every day, yet they will still have plenty of time for extracurricular activities.

School location

German summer courses for teenagers in Berlin

The cosmopolitan city of Berlin with more than 3.5 million inhabitants has a lot to offer to teenagers in our German summer courses. Program students can enjoy the flair of the capital with a boat ride on the Spree River, a visit to the Berlin Zoo — home to the greatest variety of species of any zoo on earth — or by simply taking a leisurely stroll through the city.

The Brandenburg Gate, the remains of the Berlin Wall, and the world-famous Reichstag all serve as witnesses to Germany’s eventful history.

The fascinating blend of different cultures, the modern architecture and the great variety of outstanding cultural events all justify Berlin’s reputation as a metropolis of superlatives and guarantee an unforgettable summer for our students.

During their German course, our international students stay in the centrally located youth hostel near Berlin Central Station. The house is tucked away in a quiet side street – a green oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Not only the rooms are there, also the German classes take place in the youth hostel. Different language levels (from A1 up to B2) and starting dates are offered for total beginners and advanced learners. With student rooms and classrooms conveniently located in the same building, the setup promotes a structured, boarding-school-style environment and offers short distances.

The Humboldt-Institut program covers everything: lessons, material, accommodation, full board, daily activities, and excursions. Students can explore different areas of Berlin as well as other cities like Dresden.

Modern and central hostel in Berlin
Our students live in the Hostel "martas Gästehaus" close to Berlin central station. Despite its very central location the guest house is a very quiet place and perfect to spend a summer. All rooms are very bright and modern, and have en-suite bathrooms. Rooms are shared by three to four students.

Room allocation
We carefully choose the students who will share a room with each other. We take care to match roommates who have a comparable German language level and are of similar age, yet speak different native languages. This way we encourage them to speak and practice German with each other outside of the classroom. Boys and girls are housed separately.

Full board
Our students receive three meals a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner).

Laundry
Laundry service is offered to all students free of charge once a week for their personal laundry. Sheets and linen will be provided and changed regularly.

Visa support

We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. However, the school can supply you with all the documentation you need to support your visa application.

Your letter of acceptance will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you. If you wish to receive your paperwork by express mail, you will be charged 125 € when you register.

Flights and airport transfer

Please note that we do not book flights for our students. If you are researching airfare costs, we recommend using Kayak.com, a search engine that lets you compare flight options from your home country to Berlin based on your budget, schedule and preferences.

Travel insurance

Study abroad worry-free with Language International's health and personal effects insurance coverage. When you book a course with us, you can opt to purchase an international insurance plan that covers not only your health care cost but also loss of your personal belongings.
