Your German Language Course in Germany

We designed our programmes for adults and students who want real results and a memorable experience. Every course combines structured classroom learning with the kind of everyday immersion that only living in the country can provide. Your classmates might be architects from Stockholm, marketing professionals from Milan or teachers from Lisbon, all sharing the same goal and the same table at lunch.

  • Our language school in Frankfurt sits in the leafy district of Sachsenhausen, a short walk across the famous Eiserner Steg bridge from the pulsating city centre. The school features spacious classrooms, a welcoming reception area and a sunny terrace where you can practise with fellow students over coffee.
  • In Munich, you'll study in the lively neighbourhood of Schwabing-West, within walking distance of the English Garden and the city's historic heart.

Both schools offer the same flexible course menu. Our Standard Course gives you 20 lessons per week in small groups of 8 to 12 students, leaving your afternoons free to explore. The Intensive Course doubles your progress with 30 lessons per week. If you need individual attention, the One-to-One option focuses entirely on your priorities. And for those preparing for a recognised qualification, our telc Exam Preparation Course covers levels A1 through C1.

Every course includes a free placement test on your first day, so we match you with the right group from the start. Complete beginners and advanced learners alike are welcome, from level A0 all the way to C1. You'll also receive a SPRACHCAFFE certificate when you finish. Add our complimentary Study Club, four extra sessions per week for homework support and creative practice, and you have everything you need to progress with confidence.

Frankfurt and Munich, Two Cities Worth Exploring

Choosing where to study abroad is half the adventure. Whether you prefer Munich's Bavarian charm or Frankfurt's cosmopolitan buzz, both cities reward you with experiences far beyond the classroom.

  • Frankfurt is Europe's financial capital, a skyline of glass towers set against a beautifully restored Old Town. The city is genuinely international, with a multicultural population that makes newcomers feel welcome from day one. After class, you might stroll through the Palmengarten botanical gardens, visit the Städel art museum or cross the river to browse the famous Saturday flea market. Weekend trips are effortless too. Heidelberg, the Rhine Valley and even the Black Forest are all within easy reach.
  • Munich brings Bavarian tradition and modern energy together in a way no other city can. Imagine practising your new vocabulary while exploring Marienplatz, relaxing in one of the legendary beer gardens or watching surfers ride the Eisbach wave in the English Garden. Beyond the city, the Alps are barely an hour away by train. The cultural scene is equally rich, with world-class museums, live music and a food culture that goes far beyond pretzels and Weisswurst.

Both destinations offer excellent public transport, safe neighbourhoods and a genuine appetite for international exchange. Whichever you choose for your language stay, you'll feel at home quickly and find endless reasons to step outside and practise.

Communication is key

Clear and regular communication is what turns a German course into real progress. In class, qualified native-speaking teachers build your grammar and vocabulary through practical exercises; outside, you put those skills to work — chatting with your host family over breakfast, ordering coffee on the way to school or swapping stories with classmates from around the world.

 In Frankfurt, our school on the 5th floor of a Sachsenhausen landmark offers bright classrooms with skyline views, a student lounge and a coffee corner, while in Munich, an elegant New Baroque building in Schwabing-West welcomes you with spacious rooms, a green terrace and the Englischer Garten just fifteen minutes away. 

Conversations with teachers, locals and international students sharpen your ear for natural pronunciation and boost your confidence daily. At SPRACHCAFFE, German becomes part of your routine — in lessons, during activities and back at your accommodation — until you stop translating word by word and start thinking directly in the language.

Accommodation That Feels Like Home

Booking a course with accommodation takes the stress out of planning and lets the immersion continue outside the classroom. In Frankfurt, our Standard and Comfort Apartments sit directly in the school building - share a kitchen and bathroom with international flatmates and enjoy weekly cleaning, or choose a homestay with a local family offering breakfast or half board, real conversation practice and insider city tips. In Munich, we focus on homestay placements with welcoming families who share meals, help you settle in and give you everyday language practice no textbook can replicate.

You arrive on Sunday, settle in and start your first class on Monday. Your day begins with qualified native-speaking teachers guiding you through communicative, practical exercises - role-playing restaurant orders, navigating public transport, handling job interviews - while Frankfurt's specialised Workshops also cover business communication for professionals.

After class, the real immersion begins: in Frankfurt you might join a city tour, visit the Senckenberg Museum or try a traditional Äppelwoi tavern; in Munich, activities range from bowling nights and BMW World visits to full-day excursions to Neuschwanstein Castle.

This blend of structure and spontaneity is what makes SPRACHCAFFE different - professional teaching every morning, freedom to explore every afternoon and curious, open-minded people from dozens of countries, so you take home not just a certificate but the confidence that comes from having lived, laughed and learned in a language that once felt foreign.

Each lesson at SPRACHCAFFE lasts 45 minutes. The Standard Course includes 20 lessons per week (15 hours), spread across five mornings from Monday to Friday. The Intensive Course gives you 30 lessons per week (22.5 hours), with additional afternoon sessions. Both options keep groups small, with a maximum of 8 to 12 students, so you get plenty of speaking time and personal feedback from your teacher.

Not at all. We welcome complete beginners at level A0/A1 through to advanced learners at C1. On your first day, you'll take a free placement test so we can match you to the right group. If the level feels too easy or too challenging after your first sessions, our team will move you to a better fit. Beginner courses start on set dates throughout the year; all other levels can join any Monday.

Yes. Every participant receives a SPRACHCAFFE certificate at the end of their course, confirming the number of lessons completed and the level achieved. If you need an officially recognised qualification, you can add our telc Exam Preparation Course, which runs for a minimum of four weeks and covers levels A1 through C1. The telc certificate is widely accepted by employers and educational institutions across Europe.

In Frankfurt, you can choose between Standard or Comfort Apartments directly in the school building, or a homestay with a local family. In Munich, we offer homestay placements with breakfast or half board included. All options include WiFi and are within comfortable reach of the school. Visit our programme pages for full details on current availability.

The Standard Course (20 lessons per week) is ideal if you want solid progress while keeping your afternoons free. The Intensive Course (30 lessons per week) is designed for faster results, with extra sessions covering additional practice. We also offer One-to-One Courses for fully personalised learning, Exam Preparation for the telc certificate and specialised Workshops in Frankfurt covering Business Language and Communication Skills. Your SPRACHCAFFE adviser will help you choose the right combination.
