Course description

Learning never ends… already noticed the great German composer Robert Schumann. And the first German chancellor Otto von Bismarck also had to admit at old age: I’m learning as long as I live. Thus, I’m still learning today. We’re not going to contradict this – on the opposite: Language professionals as well should constantly improve their knowledge… because a language is downright living through change! Teachers of German language will have the opportunity of updating their knowledge and know-how: What are the latest teaching materials used in German classes? Are there any new trends and methods? Come to our institutes and our teachers will give you all the information you’re asking for…

No matter if you work at a private language institute or a public school: Being a professional teacher you always experience instruction only from the teacher’s point of view! If you decide taking our Teacher Training course you’re going to play the student’s part for a change and, thus, you’ll understand how differently teaching methods will be perceived from the learner’s point of view. This will be very exciting and will also enable you to reflect on your own professional situation for instance by comparing our teaching methods with your own. Class visitations and discussions with our teachers will help you doing this. You’ll see: there’s still quite a lot to learn…

"It was a great experience for me."

GABRIELA STOYANOVA, student from Bulgaria

The teaching was very good and it was a great experience for my listening and speaking training. In my country I learn German also but the speaking was always a difficulty because i can only speak with my teacher but in this course I can talk not only with my teachers but with the rest of the group.As I said it was an amazing experience and I would do it again.

"Good"

alessandro silva, student from Brazil

The course was good. I had no knowledge of German, so I had a starter course. The material was good, the teachers (Djamilla, Silvo and Eike) were great, but I did not like the others. I think I had a dynamic learning and higher class because of these three teachers.

The location was good; access was easy.

I found our classroom very tight for many people, and there was a lot of disorganization regarding the casting of teachers. Djamila went on vacation and had passed through 3 teachers. On one day, we ran out of half of a class in the morning, and we had to replace this with another afternoon. Another teacher (Erica) was rude to a Spaniard and another Brazilian who was there. She was clapping at the answers we gave (debauchery?). I found this as a lack of respect for students, mainly because everyone came from other countries to study, leave home and family, and are alone in another place and another culture, and end up going through unnecessary situations such as these.

The bathroom was very tight.

"Very funny and useful!"

Salvatore Iraci, student from Italy

Actually, I just attended a one week course, but I found it very useful and interesting. Teachers were extremely prepared, and I succeeded in improving my German skills in so little time.

"A waste of time and money."

Sandra Lambert, student from Canada

The teacher was very authoritarian and not very helpful in explaining properly the grammar. The facilities were quite far from the centre of the city and not specially welcoming.

"Well-taught, intensive, congenial language school"

Dorothy Carney, student from USA

did deutsch-institut Frankfurt was well-run and friendly. The classes moved quickly, and I learned much more German than I would have ever dreamed in the four weeks that I was there. The teachers were all good, using a variety of methods--read-aloud, games, discussion, partner work, creative writing, grammar exercises and more to keep the classes interesting. Expectations were very high, and the book we mostly worked from was engaging. As an older language learner, I enjoyed the fact that our level had people of different ages, countries of origin, and experiences. The school itself was easy to get to, just a block away from the Sud Banhof station. My only criticism is that while all the teachers were very capable, there was a lot of teacher turnover, and it was hard to be constantly adjusting to a different teacher style.

"Disappointing"

EVA GUERRERO, student from Spain

I paid for one course of a week duration and for a beginner's level. When I arrived to the school the personnel did me a level test and they said that for my level the courses had begun two weeks ago so there was no course for me...they prepared "something" for me, it was just three day of classes, and each day just 2 or 3 hours, I was so disappointed with that, I paid for something I did not get. I would like to repeat the experience but probably I will check for another academy. I did not get no diploma or nothing about my "course".

"Great so far"

Ivan Alejandro Chavez Idrogo, student from Venezuela

I'm on the second week of my 12 week course and everything has been great so far. The school is right besides an exit of an important subway station so it is easy to find. Most of the professors are really nice and all of them take their jobs seriously. The administrative personnel in the school are very helpful.

"Frankfurt for beginners"

Ana J, student from Spain

Last June I went to Frankfurt to study German in DID for three weeks and arranged it with LI. My language level was low when I arrived, and they made everything easy from the beginning. They found the best housing, according to my wishes (kind of host family and location), and explained every detail clearly and in advance. The staff at the school were nice and helpful too, and the course was exactly what I expected. What I liked most was that I had two teachers, each one in alternate days, which I found perfect, if you don't get something in one way, next day you have a different explanation. My whole experience is good/excellent, in fact I extended my stay for a week more than planed once I was there, and I plan to repeat in the future.

"Excellent teaching."

Jose Maria Criado Martin, student from Spain

My experience was very good. I learned German very fast. The intensive course gives you a good command over German in short time. The staff in the school is very good and kind. They help me to solve all problems very quickly. The information I received was very clear and useful. Maybe the only bad point is the price. But the relationship quality/price is very good.
