School description

Sprachcaffe/Languages PLUS only teaches a language in the country in which it is spoken. That makes the country, city and its people an important part of the learning concept. You will study in a relaxed way, without having to fear making mistakes - in fact it is much like having a discussion in a "caffe linguistico". Hence the name of this organisation, created with the word play of "Sprach" meaning language and communication and "Caffe", the atmosphere we aim to create at all of our schools around the world.

The advantage for you: Our courses broaden your horizons by exposing you to students from all over the world. The locations of all schools were selected not only for positive teaching purposes, but also for their attractive surroundings that are ideal for leisure and cultural activities. Therefore, for each language, you can choose between the electrifying atmosphere of large modern cities or the peace and charm of smaller cities and provincial towns.

"Great teachers each with their own distinctive, but effective, manner of teaching."

Geoffrey Brunet, student from Canada

I very much liked sprachcaffe, I had a lot of fun with the teachers who were very professional and who each had their own distinct, but effective, way of teaching.

I liked the deal that if classes were 1 - 1 or 2 - 1 then we would get days off. I thought that was fair and I enjoyed having days off during the week when I could see sights in the city that weren't crowded.

Teachers were personable and professional.

"Wonderful teacher with a passion for teaching Chinese."

Zachary Mühlenweg, student from China

The teacher was amazing, and the location was very central, a little bit hard to find at first. The school needs to update its location on the website as the first day I went to the wrong place and it was not at all clear what to do from there. Fortunately, they were very quick to answer my emails and remedy the situation.

"It was one of the best educational and travelling experiences in my life!"

Mariia Chereshneva, student from Russia

From the beginning of my stay at the school I felt at home. The way we were grouped was exactly what was needed: I enjoyed the level of students' knowledge and the classes, the teachers of all groups did their best to provide high quality training and pleasant atmosphere for studying process. The location of the school is all you can wish to enjoy life in the heart of Beijing with all its sights and attractions. Besides,we learnt and lived in the same building! So, that made the stay really convenient.
I can add that this was the time to admire both the Chinese language and culture as we had time both for studying and sightseeing. I made good international friends there. The housing was excellent!
I sincerely thank Sprachcaffe for this experience and advise everyone who is in love with languages to follow my example!
Best regards,
Mariia

"I learned how to paint in more simple and relaxing way."

Yukiko Hasegawa, student from Japan

I liked this painting course.
Teacher was nice. She showed me how to use the brushes, balance of the ink and water and how to be during the painting.
Just I missed the another students. This time only I took this course. The school couldn't have group lessons. I applyed for 5 days group lessons. But it turned to 3days private lessons. Next time I want to learn with others.
Location was good. It's near from the center.
Through this course I could have time to concentrate one thing. I was really amazed that just using black ink and water can
express everything on the paper.
I had a great experience this summer in Beijing.
