German and Hiking in the Summer

Learn German in KitzbuhelPhil
One week German and Hiking in Kitzbuhel

I wanted to work on my German language skills and get some exercise walking in the hills.  I hoped to gain some additional confidence in German. The language lessons were well run and the tutor was very friendly and positive.  He also took us on some excellent excursions to the town centre and to the top of one of the mountains. Read More »

German in Berlin

Berlin wallDavid Rowthorn
6 weeks on a German course in Berlin:

I felt the standard of teaching was very high and the general vibe of the campus was excellent. The lessons were a good mix of grammar and practice. The teachers encouraged speaking and discussion as much as possible. The only problem I found was that the difference between the best and worst students in the class was a little too big.

Learning German in Munich

Study German in MunichLizzie Morton
12 weeks German Course in Munich

Can I just say that I would absolutely recommend others to take a CESA language course and I would love to go back to Munich again, sometime.  I was lucky enough to be out there for 12 weeks, and the course certainly helped me build my German skills, helped my self-confidence and inspired me to learn more.  Not only was I able to benefit academically but I also got to see a beautiful part of Germany and meet some great people too.  Read More »

Summer School in Berlin

Elizabeth: 2 weeks in July

Sunbathing by the riverI expected comfortable accommodation, that the other students would be from a range of countries and aged between 16-19 and that the classes wouldn’t be too large and the teachers would be experienced. Overall I felt that these expectations were met and the course was a success.

I found that the lessons were very good, Read More »

German language Gap Year course

Alex Lewington : 20 weeks in Berlin

An absolutely brilliant course. Not only did the German language course help improve the quality of my German Read More »

Elaine: Wanderwege in Kitzbuhel (2 week German & Hiking)

Image1I fell for Kitzbuhel on sight, there are only two main streets but they are made up of medieval houses, lovely mountain cabins mixed in with pastel-colour burgher houses, so clean, so tidy and so neatly set in the Tyrolean landscape.  The population jumps to some 20,000 during the busy ski season January to April, and is at it’s worst (or best if skiing is your thing) during the famous Kitzbuhel Super G and slalom race on Hahnenkamm, when over 70,000 spectators crowd round the slopes, late January every year.  However for me and my new companions, Kitzbuhel comes into its own in the summer – when the snows are all but gone and everything is a verdant delight, a celebration of sunshine, fresh air and solitude.  I adored the colourful Alpine flowers, but can’t name them!  I was staggered by the breathtaking panoramic views of the Kitzbuhel Alps and Loferer Steinberge mountain ranges.  Read More »
