German Language Trips to Berlin

German Language Workshops

Being in Berlin provides a unique opportunity for students to immerse themselves in a German-speaking environment. Engaging in a language workshop allows them to practise their language skills in real-life situations, such as ordering food at a restaurant, asking for directions, or interacting with locals.

Students will take part in listening and speaking sessions based on key topics chosen by you. Our workshops are the perfect way for your students to develop their language skills and bolster their confidence, before heading out into the city to practise what they’ve learned. They are ideal for preparation and practice in the morning before going out and about in the afternoon to speak in real-life situations.
