What's the best way for me to learn German this summer?

November 5, 2008 by Admin - LearnGermanLanguage.org 

I have 4 months and $5000 to learn as much German as I can. I currently only have 2 semesters of college-level German classes completed, so my German skills are pretty weak. How do I get better quickly?

Go to Germany. There are great schools that give you intensive lessons and also an accommodation.
I´ve learned in Frankfurt, Goethe Institute, very expensive. And i did not learned a lot. But anyhow a certificate from this school is accepted everywhere.
Darmstadt, Studio Mondiale, cheaper, nice, Learned a lot..!! The personal intensive courses are at good price and it is a great way to learn. Darmstadt is a very nice city, full of students. Annete a great teacher.
Dusseldorf, Sprach forum Heinrich Heine, great! I learned everything there. I passed the DSH test to enter any German University (not everyone passes the exam on the first time). The prices are great. Dusseldorf is very nice and you meet a lot of people there…
I recommend that you go to Germany and stay there for more than a month. Live with German people when possible. A family or young people. That is the only way to lear and practice…!! Good luck. Here are the web pages.

    Du muss nach Deutschland umziehen!!. Moving to Germany to live with a German family is the only way to learn.

    Go to Germany, get a place to board with an English-speaking German family. Live with them for a while. Learn. Also, get Pimsleur's German CDs. I have them. They're great. And get some books on how to spell. It's really hard to spell stuff in German. That should work for you. It did for me!

    1. I thought the Goethe institute was great. (I went to the one in Freiburg.) It's relatively inexpensive and has institutes in many German cities.

    2. Or, you can do a summer language program at Middlebury in Vermont. You are only allowed to speak German for the duration of the program; in fact, you sign a contract stating that if you speak English, they can kick you out!
