A Guide to German Language Programs Abroad
Best Locations
Despite popular belief, Germany is not the only place to learn German abroad! There are hundreds of unique locations that host German language programs.
Germany offers endless opportunities to study German abroad. From its hopping big cities, like Berlin and Munich, to its quieter educational hubs, such as Freiburg and Heidelberg, Germany offers university-based opportunities to study German abroad as well as private German language schools for every type of language learner. International students in Germany will enjoy becoming immersed in a deeply-rooted and beautiful language.
Austria is the place to be for students looking to challenge themselves a bit more and step outside the traditional route. Home to several mid-size cities, dotted with universities and German language schools, and surrounded by the natural beauty of the quiet countryside, Austria offers students a different type of German language learning experience, with smaller cities, less of an international population, and more access to cultural integration.
Switzerland is home to many languages and cultures, and the German-speaking parts make up over 65 percent of the country. German is the only official language of 17 different Swiss cantons, so language students have their choice of bigger cities, such as Zurich, or more natural locations, like Winterthur.
What Else You Need to Know
The best way to quickly learn German is to get involved in as much as possible.
Popular Courses. The most popular way to learn German abroad is by enrolling in German courses at a university, because university students have the opportunity to take many different types of classes to create a well-rounded knowledge of the language. Another fantastic way to learn German abroad is through attending a private German language school, which usually offers more individualized curriculum and a flexible schedule.
What can make your studies abroad more valuable than in your home country? Your living situation will affect your level of fluency. Homestays are without a doubt the most valuable aspect of study abroad. You will not only be speaking and hearing more German, but students also have more opportunities to watch local TV shows, listen to German music, and participate in traditional activities.
Tips to get fluent fast. Since English is a Germanic language and much of the vocab and sentence structure is similar, learning German is really a natural progression for English speakers. Becoming fluent in German is no overnight project, and students should be willing to dedicate a lot of time to really learn the nuances of the language.
GoAbroad’s Inside Scoop
Fluency in an important language. Studying German abroad is the best way to gain fluency in one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. Besides the obvious benefit of being able to communicate with more people, speaking German is a valuable skill in almost any career path. Whether it be business, art, or the sciences, German is a fundamental language in the development of all of these fields, and understanding the language and culture can give you a serious leg up. Regardless of how you plan on using your German, the skills that you will obtain from studying German in a foreign country are skills that you cannot obtain by doing anything else.
Immersion. Most young people in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the other German-speaking countries also speak English. If you are studying German in a big city, it can be difficult to really immerse yourself into the German language and culture if everyone around you speaks English. To avoid this, select a location that has less of an international population or be firm to those around you that they can only speak German to you. You can’t learn a new language if you are surrounded by your native language!

May 29, 2026by: Saida Abidi - TunisiaProgram: Language Learning and Cultural Immersion in Tunisia
The school offers a very supportive environment: the staff are kind and welcomed me warmly. The teacher was highly qualified, and the course programme was very clear. I started practising the language from the first week. What I liked most was that the programme was based on real life situations, which allowed me to practise the language outside the classroom as well. People in the school are very welcoming and kind.

Najlepsza szkoła językowa!
November 11, 2024by: Anna Kocjan - PolandSpędziłam w Sprachenatelier kilka tygodni ucząc się języka niemieckiego od podstaw i dzięki wspaniałym nauczycielom nauka języków na nowo stała się moją pasją. Zajęcia były bardzo angażujące i dzięki małej grupie każdy czuł się brany pod uwagę. Pomimo nauki od zera od razu zwracano uwagę na umiejętność mówienia, przez co coraz pewniej czuje się w posługiwaniu się niemieckim poza szkołą. Jest to naprawdę bezpieczna przestrzeń do nauki i zdobywania nowych umiejętności. Dzięki kursowi poznałam też wiele wspaniałych ludzi z całego świata, a cotygodniowe branie udziału w organizowanych przez szkołę kulturalnych wydarzeniach pozwoliło mi poznać Niemcy jeszcze bliżej. Zakupienie kursu językowego było najlepszą decyzją jaką mogłam podjąć i cieszę się, że trafiłam od razu na tak wspaniałe miejsce jak Sprachenatelier!
とても楽しい時間を過ごしました!
November 08, 2024by: Yoko Nicolaysen - JapanProgram: Learn Advanced German with our Evening Course On-site
ベルリンの Sprachenatelier Berlinでドイツ語コースを受講しましたが、とても楽しく、有意義な時間を過ごせました。短期間で効率よく学べて、費用と時間をかける価値が本当にありました。先生方もとても親切で、授業も丁寧でわかりやすく、安心して学べます。初めは、日本から来たこともあって、ドイツ語に自信がなく少し不安でしたが、先生方がすぐに安心させてくれました。短期間でしっかりとドイツ語を習得でき、クラスメートもとても親切で、リラックスした環境で学べました。授業内容も充実していて、語彙や文法はもちろん、会話の練習もたくさんできたので、とても満足しています。これからドイツ語を学びたい方に、心からおすすめします!
My experience!
November 08, 2024by: Ana Zota - ColombiaProgram: Learn Advanced German with our Evening Course On-site
I had a wonderful experience at the German language school. The teachers were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about teaching. They created a supportive and engaging environment that made learning enjoyable. I appreciated the diverse class activities, from interactive discussions to cultural workshops, which really helped me understand the language in context. Making friends with fellow students from different backgrounds added to the experience, and we often practiced together outside of class. Overall, it was an enriching journey that not only improved my German skills but also broadened my horizons.
I had the best time at Sprachenatelier!
December 04, 2023by: GIULIA NASTRI - ItalyProgram: Learn Advanced German with our Evening Course On-site
I feel that my German level improved a lot thanks to the lessons I took at this school. The classes are interactive and the teachers really care about both grammar and speaking: they've never used English to explain rules and they try to make people speak in order to improve their skills. They encourage you to intervene no matter what your level is! I also loved the activities proposed by the school: I had the opportunity to meet new people and speak German. I highly recommend coming to this school!
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Sprachenatelier!
December 04, 2023by: Elisabeth Olaiya - United KingdomProgram: Learn Advanced German with our Evening Course On-site
From the very first lesson, I immediately recognised improvements with my German. Our teacher spoke for the duration of the lesson in German which pushed me out of a familiar comfort zone and helped me to pick up a wide range of new vocabulary. The structure of the lesson was simple to follow and allowed me to make comprehensive notes to reflect on. I was encouraged to speak up about my ideas in group discussions and really enjoyed collaborating with other students when drafting our group presentations. One of my most memorable moments, was the task to advertise our own imaginary companies to the class, implementing the new phrases & grammatical structures we had learnt. I truly had the best experience and felt supported by my class and teacher each step of the way. I highly recommend taking a German course at this school.
We're so glad that you loved learning with us, we hope you return soon!
A week at the excellence center
May 26, 2023by: Jeanne Floch - FranceProgram: Intensive & Non-Intensive German Courses (1-12 Weeks)
I had an amazing week at the Excellence Center. I felt very welcomed and liked bonding with everyone at the common breakfast every morning, and I had a lot of fun overall with the activities (football game, city tour,...). The team was caring and made sure that I felt good at the center and in my host family. It was very helpful to have classes with only one or two students that way we were able to go on our own path, and the classes were adapted to our level and expectations. Would 100% recommend the intensive German Program!



My time in Halle
September 08, 2022by: Nick Kamran - United KingdomProgram: Volunteer to Teach English & Study German (1-12 Weeks)
Over the last 3 weeks, I have not only gained a wealth of useful experience at the Excellence Centre but I have made several lifelong friends. All of the staff at the centre were incredibly welcoming, easy to talk to and made daily life at the centre more rewarding. Rafat and Radwan are both always around to help answer any questions or solve any problems. Both Ali and Muaz keep the centre extremely lively during the day and gave us cool ideas for what to do and where to go in the city. The Excellence Centre has helped me to drastically improve my Arabic level, going from a beginner to having a solid understanding of the foundations of the language in roughly 2 weeks. My Arabic lessons with Abeer were extremely useful and productive and I am really grateful for her help during my time here. The Excellence Centre provides you with the opportunity to truly improve your understanding of teaching methods. Learning how to engage with students, particularly from refugee backgrounds, is extremely fulfilling and provides you with a challenge to engage and better understand different cultures. In regards to the social aspect of the Excellence Centre, it was easy to get to know the volunteers, and we all clicked very quickly. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who desires a challenge, but also would like the comfort of knowing that you are in excellent hands by the staff here in Halle.
