• Private Accommodation - self-catering
Speak German not just at school; meet German people at home. You live with Germans, sometimes families, sometimes flat sharers, often single people who have a spare room. You have your own room and share kitchen and bathroom with them. Students cater for themselves, either by contributing to the budget or by shopping for themselves.

• Private Accommodation - bed & breakfast
As above; on top of breakfast is included; often this will mean that the students help themselves to the food, as their hosts have jobs and will be out of the house earlier than them.

• Private Accommodation - half board
Have two meals a day with a host family and enjoy the opportunity to experience and practice the German language even more. This option should be booked well in advance of travelling and is an option especially for younger and not so experienced students.

• Additional possibilities. We also offer: Hostels and Hotels
