Study German in Germany

Picture yourself ordering breakfast in fluent German at a Frankfurt café, then walking to class along the River Main with classmates from twelve different countries. 

At SPRACHCAFFE, your language course is more than grammar and vocabulary. You'll practise every new phrase in the city where it belongs, surrounded by native speakers, local culture and friendships that cross borders. 

 

Whether you're investing in your career, rediscovering a passion or simply giving yourself the experience you've always wanted, we offer flexible programmes in two vibrant cities with accommodation just steps from the classroom.

Over 40 Years of Trust

SPRACHCAFFE has been bringing people together since 1983.

Your German Course in Germany

Study German where it actually counts - in Germany itself. Our programmes for adults and students combine structured classroom learning with full everyday immersion, and your classmates could be architects from Stockholm, teachers from Lisbon, or marketing professionals from Milan, all sharing the same goal.

Choose between two exceptional cities. Frankfurt places you in the vibrant Sachsenhausen district, a short walk from the iconic Eiserner Steg bridge, with a beautifully restored Old Town, world-class museums, and easy weekend escapes to Heidelberg or the Rhine Valley. Munich puts you in lively Schwabing-West, steps from the English Garden and Marienplatz, with the Alps barely an hour away by train.

Both schools offer the same courses: a Standard Course with 20 lessons a week and free afternoons, an Intensive Course for faster progress, One-to-One for a fully personal approach, and a telc Exam Prep Course from A1 to C1. Every course includes a free placement test, Study Club, and a SPRACHCAFFE certificate.

Two cities, one great decision - whichever you choose, you'll feel at home quickly and find endless reasons to step outside and practise.

Communication is key

Qualified native-speaking teachers build your grammar in class — then real life takes over. Chat with your host family over breakfast, order coffee on the way to school, swap stories with classmates from around the world.

In Frankfurt, bright classrooms with skyline views and a student lounge await you. In Munich, an elegant New Baroque building with a green terrace and the Englischer Garten just fifteen minutes away.

At SPRACHCAFFE, German becomes part of your daily routine — in lessons, during activities, at your accommodation — until you stop translating 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.
