It is well worth getting your head around the
Bavarian dialect for this ‘city of art and beer’, famous
for its Oktoberfest (pictured, right) and
gemutlichkeit
–
the untranslatable intermingling of cosiness and
contentment. With words like that it is hard not to want
to live and learn in Munich. In contrast to many other
varieties of German, Bavarian differs sufficiently from
Standard German to make it challenging for native
speakers to adopt the pronunciation. Although,
Bavarians are taught Standard German as their
standard medium of education, so they will be able
to help. Learn not only through Munich’s various
prestigious schools, but its remarkable heritage too.
This lively metropolis is a student’s paradise with
countless things to do and see. Learning German in Berlin
is a ticket to its entertainment, art, nightlife and its past
as a ‘The Divided City’. The capital’s diversity (roughly
one in seven people are non-natives) makes it easy to find
German language courses and people who share your
background for a vocabulary break. Its northern location
means students are surrounded by what is generally
considered the most correct form of Standard German,
which may help you perfect yours. Nearly everyone
speaks English, so your butchered attempts can be
corrected as you order a
currywurst
.
This picturesque city has a long tradition of education,
with the oldest university (pictured, right) in Germany,
Heidelberg University, founded in 1386. Nestled in a
sloping valley, Heidelberg has been ranked the ninth
most inspiring city to visit globally. History meets
vibrant youth, hoping to graduate unscathed as the
city did from WWII. It is home to the F+U Academy
of Languages, one of the biggest European language
schools, welcoming over 12,000 students from over
120 countries across their schools in Heidelberg and
Berlin. The leading German education provider offers
a range of programmes, from academic language to
specialist courses for prospective physicians, nurses
and teachers.
