With over 50 years experience as an international language provider, teaching German as a foreign language has always had an important focus in the work of Carl Duisberg Centren. Our German Language Courses are offered in Berlin, Cologne, Munich and Radolfzell on Lake Constance. At the Carl Duisberg Training Centers you will be taught by experienced trainers, who all have a university degree. In lessons great emphasis is put on training communication skills. The learning progress is measured according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Prior to the start of the course your actual language ability will be assessed by a placement test. On course completion you will receive an official certificate of attendance. At various stages of the course program, you can have your improvement documented by taking the internationally recognized telc examinations. Naturally, at the four Carl Duisberg Training Centers, a media resource center with a multitude of teaching materials is available. This also includes computer learning programs for self study. You will receive all books and materials used in the lessons free of charge which can then be kept at the end of the course. Additionally, there are no extra costs for registration, placement test and weekly interim tests. For those who decide to learn a foreign language in the country where it is spoken, they will also get to know the culture, customs and ways of its inhabitants. The same applies to your language course in Germany. The varied leisure and cultural program creates relaxed, realistic everyday situations, where you can put your newly acquired language knowledge into practice. At the same time you can gain an insight into the German culture and mentality. Carl Duisberg German courses are offered at four very different locations: you can choose between the capital Berlin, the Rhine metropolis Cologne, the Bavarian state capital Munich, or the charming little town of Radolfzell on Lake Constance. Each location has its own character and its own merits.

About the ABRAKADABRA Spielsprachschule Berlin: The children's language school Berlin was founded in 2001 and is a market leader in the field of early language acquisition in Berlin. It is primarily children aged 3 to 12 that learn at our school. We are presently represented in over 140 institutions. Throughout the school year our mobile play instructors come to kindergardens, elementary schools and private householde where they offer playful group and one on one classes for children in German, English, Spanish and French. In our centrally located premises at Bundesplatz we can offer you a wide choice of courses on weekdays, in the afternoons or on Saturday mornings. The rooms have been especially arranged to meet the needs of children. It is possible to enter a course in progress at any time. Further locations are situated all over Berlin. German and English Daycamps in Berlin: During the school holidays we are offering exciting daycamps for children ages 4-12 years in Berlin. For the children its a joyful journey in a new world, far away from the stresses of everyday life. In fact, its loads of fun here with us! We are excited to report more than 98,2% customer satisfaction in 2019! About our ABRAKADABRA method: From the time of its birth every child has acquired the natural abilities to learn a language. They can imitate the sounds they hear, then understand words and later form sentences before finally mastering the language fully. These skills can also be tapped for a second or third language which then penetrates, like the mother tongue, via another section of the brain into much deeper layers than an additional language learnt in later years. There is a good early language learning possibility which has proved its worth in Canada for the past thirty years. In this so-called immersion method children are thrown into a language bath where they first splash around and then start swimming with pleasure. A language is learnt by moving around in that language, by living in it. It has been scientifically proven that different areas of the brain are activated when small children and adults are learning. When children learn languages, the same part of the brain is involved as when they learn their mother tongue. However, according to the principle of Total Physical Response it is considerably easier for them to learn a further language in conjunction with the perception of all senses. In the children's language school we avoid artificial communication as in conventional language lessons. Language is taught without any classical textbooks. Children play in whatever language they are learning. Our children enter a new language world playfully and effortlessly and without being overtaxed learn a foreign language with all their senses seemingly quite involuntarily.

Learn German in Berlin With the opening of Humboldt's latest year-round school, students now have the opportunity to study German in the very center of Berlin. Our first year-round course center in the North of Germany offers a multitude of cultural experiences and encounters in the most international and history-laden city in Germany. Berlin is Germany's cultural, political and economic hub. Part-time courses In addition to our courses with accommodation, Berlin offers part-time German courses in the evenings as well as on Saturdays. Two cities – one course With the combination of courses in Berlin and Constance, our learners have the incomparable opportunity to experience two uniquely distinct university towns which demonstrate the diversity of Germany in landscape and in culture. Berlin – Germany’s capital and by far largest city – impresses with more than 3.5 million inhabitants and an incredible variety of sights and cultural offers. Constance, however, seems to be unhurried and laid-back with only 85,000 inhabitants, while it is rated as one of Germany’s towns with the highest quality of life due to its gorgeous location right next to Lake Constance and its proximity to Switzerland and the Alps. Intercity bus transfer between the cities (Constance–Berlin or Berlin–Constance) is included in the course fee. Language Levels In Berlin, we offer German courses for language levels A1 to C2 according to the Common European Framework of References for Languages. Class Size Our classes consist of approx. 10 students. Such a small size ensures that individual attention is given to every single course participant. As we focus very much on the communicative approach of the language, while not neglecting grammar, we give heed to make every student talk and participate. Tests All course participants take a weekly exam which covers all the course content taught the preceding week so that students and teachers alike can assess the progress made in the German language. Homework Our students are also expected to do some homework every day, yet they will still have plenty of time for extracurricular activities.
