Students come from a plethora of backgrounds, with ages ranging anywhere from 12 – 70 years old. However, most students will be migrants or the children of migrants, hailing from various Arab countries. Volunteers will not only serve as teachers, but also as cultural diplomats who represent their home country to the community in Halle (Saale). They play an important role in helping with communal activities meant to increase cross-cultural exchanges.

Best Locations
To help you get started, here are some of the top destinations for language study in Western Europe:
Florence, Italy. It may come as a surprise that Italy is filled with a multitude of different dialects that can almost sound like a boom of different languages. However, Florence is the nation’s capital of language and art, and the Italian language began on the cobblestone streets that illustrious men, such as Leonardo Da Vinci and Dante Alighieri, walked and talked upon. Florence is the perfect spot to learn and practice Italian, because it is where the “standard” of the Italian language originated.
Berlin, Germany. German is the most spoken language in the European Union and an official language in Germany, Liechtenstein, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, and Luxembourg, making it an extremely valuable asset to have in your back pocket. As the nation’s capital, Berlin is an exceptional place to study German, with its authentic charm and historical context.
Madrid, Spain. It’s no surprise that Spanish is spoken, and studied, by millions of people worldwide. But, the best way to learn Spanish is to skip the classroom and study Spanish among the Spaniards! Madrid encompasses traditional Spanish culture while remaining the nation’s ever-developing capital.
