<p>Could someone please suggest a good summer language course in Germany?</p>
<p>Goethe-Institut.</p>
<p>I did a great, no-frills course at the Sprachenkolleg fuer Auslaendische Studierende. Costs around 800 euros per 3 months (that’s the cost for the classes) and I lived in a German student dorm.</p>
<p>It was no frills! And a fantastic course. I never learned more in any other language school (I did a few 
) </p>
<p>Also, Freiburg was heaven. I loved it. It’s in southern Germany, near Basel, Switzerland, Strasbourg, France…</p>
<p>The school is designed to teach foreign students German so that they can take the language exam for entrance into the German university system. It was a greeeat course. I had to bust my butt, but really learned a lot.</p>
<p>Here’s the link for the school:

<p>And a link for one of my fav sites that has a lot of German schools:

<p>One thing I have seen in Germany is that there are A LOT of possibilities. I know that Spain, Italy, and France are some of the most popular destinations, but Germany has got tons and tons of programs to learn German.</p>
<p>You have “Deutsche Sprachschule” German language schools specializing in German
You have “Universitaeten” German universities with German for foreigners
You have “Hochschule” Kind of like technical universities, with German classes
You have “Sprachenkollege” Special schools to prepare foreign students for the language exam required for admittance to a German university (some are open to anyone, others require that you’ve already have some sort of affiliation or something [like an application in progress?] with a specific university…</p>
<p>There’s lots of schools. You don’t have to go to the most affordable, but in my experience going to a high end school – a really expensive one – usually just gets you a nice student lounge and maybe a ping pong table someplace, but the higher cost does not mean higher quality.</p>
<p>Viel Spass und viel Glueck damit! Falls Du noch eine Frage stellen moechtest, hit me up!</p>
