- Information on dates, prices and mode of study
- Our face-to-face courses in Leipzig offer far more than traditional lessons: excursions, projects, and activities outside the classroom make learning lively and practical. Digital elements and the use of a learning platform are an integral part of the lessons.
If necessary, the entire course can also take place online – with live lessons via video conference and guided self-study phases.
A dedicated course team is always on hand to support participants.
- Target group

• would like to expand and deepen their knowledge of German during the summer vacation in a place where German is spoken as a first language;
• want to combine intensive language learning with a deeper understanding of culture, society, and everyday life;
• want to discover Germany – especially Leipzig – and find out how people here live, think, and organise their everyday lives; and
