Learn German in Germany

Clearly the best way to learn any language is in the country itself. No textbook or multimedia course can give you this live experience of learning and practicing a language with native speakers in an environment where you are forced to use the language to get along. If you want to study in Germany or just want to take a language course in Germany please consider that many schools only accept students twice per year. So please double check the time required for sign-up.

One tip: To study in Germany you should get familiar with German culture. The site German Culture offers some very useful information about living in Germany.
