Learn German & live in your private teacher's home around Berlin with Home Language International!
Home Language International (HLI) is a family-run business offering language courses in more than 20 languages in over 30 countries worldwide, including German lessons at an experienced private teacher's home in Germany. More than 5,000 students take advantage of our services every year. Ian Josephs, Danielle Josephs, their 5 adult children and an expert team of dedicated staff all put in very long hours for HLI.
You stay in an experienced teacher's family home, have one-to-one German lessons and then continue to use the language during the rest of your stay in Berlin. Because you are the only student, you are guaranteed individual attention. The lessons are completely designed for you, so the teacher will focus exactly on what you need. Mealtime conversation, television and social contacts are all in German.
All of our teachers in Germany have a university degree (or equivalent) and/or a recognised teaching certificate. All teachers have been visited by one of our local organisers. Their qualifications have been checked and their homes throughly inspected. During your stay in Berlin, a local organiser will monitor your progress and make sure your experience is both happy and successful.
Home Language International (HLI) is accredited by the Accreditation Body for Language Services (ABLS), Association of Language Travel Organisations (ALTO), and UNOSEL.
The KINDERSPRACHCLUB, established in Berlin in 1996, is dedicated to making language learning an enjoyable and engaging experience for children. Our mission is encapsulated in our slogan: "Active Language Class." We provide a dynamic environment where children can learn or enhance their skills in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian or Turkish through a variety of fun and interactive activities.
Our teaching quality is exceptional, as all our instructors are native speakers who bring a genuine passion for their language to the classroom. This not only fosters a love for the language but also helps students build confidence in their ability to communicate effectively. Our curriculum is designed to be both comprehensive and engaging, covering essential topics such as food and drinks, home and family, body parts, feelings and senses, people and animals, time of day, seasons, weather, the alphabet, numbers, counting, travel, and transportation.
At KINDERSPRACHCLUB, we believe in the power of active and communicative instruction. Our classes are filled with professionally developed games, role-plays, and creative work papers that encourage children to express themselves in the target language. We incorporate a variety of activities, including singing, arts and crafts, and movement-based games. Depending on the weather, we also organize outdoor activities like scavenger hunts, ensuring that learning remains fun and engaging.
Located in the heart of Berlin, our facilities are designed to create a welcoming and stimulating environment for children. We provide ample space for both indoor and outdoor activities, allowing for a versatile learning experience that adapts to the needs of our students.
In summary, the KINDERSPRACHCLUB offers a high-quality language education that is both enjoyable and effective, supported by experienced native-speaking teachers and a vibrant learning environment. We are committed to helping children thrive in their language journey while having fun along the way.
IIK Deutschland is a further education institute with a focus on language. German as a foreign language, job-related German courses, e.g. for doctors and nurses, integration and professional language courses (in accordance with Section 45a of the Residence Act) and further education courses are at the heart of our work. Language connects and we also put this into practice in further training courses for German teachers and trainers in adult education. We also cooperate closely with companies and organizations in Germany and abroad.
