LANGUAGE SCHOOL FOR GERMAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

We are a language school located in Berlin, Kreuzberg specialized in teaching German as a Foreign Language (DaF) to adult learners. We are a licensed telc partner and certified examination centre. Our course system and teaching plans are based on CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). A welcoming teaching environment that encourages participation in class is as important to us as highly educated and creative teachers. At sprachart BERLIN we believe that effective learning and having a fun, enjoyable experience supplement each other.

 

WHAT WE STAND OUT FOR

                     EFFECTIVE GERMAN LANGUAGE TRAINING

The education of our students is our top priority. Successful learning is achieved by creating optimal conditions for the students and teacher to work together to accomplish agreed learning targets. Our dynamic, motivated, experienced and fully certified German teachers make learning efficient, interesting and lots of fun!

                           telc LICENSED PARTNER AND EXAMINATION CENTRE

Enables our students to take the widely recognized telc examinations and obtain a telc language certificate directly at our school. We also offer exam preparatory German courses to ensure the best possible preparation for the examinations.

                                   GOAL-ORIENTED AND INNOVATIVE TEACHING METHODS 

  • Dynamic and communicative teaching approach
  • The only language spoken during class is German
  • Frequent use of the direct method which conveys the feeling for the German language intuitively through conversation, repetition, role plays and visual elements  
  • Constant correction of mistakes and feedback from the teacher       
  • Up-to-date, varied and well prepared teaching materials which also convey knowledge about Germany and its culture

 

                                       WHAT IS THE DIRECT METHOD?

We apply this method in our DEUTSCH DIREKT conversation classes. It focuses on the spoken rather than the grammar/structure/rules of the language. Of course this is important and the grammar is illustrated by examples and the rules are subconsciously and intuitively conveyed by means that allow the student to relate to them in a practical sense.

Our students learn new vocabulary in an engaging way by practising role plays of useful everyday situations and also the more imaginative e.g. detective missions, both helpful in achieving the real feel for the language and the proper pronunciation of German. Conversation, listening, repetition of new vocabulary with the help of visual aids are the main focus of this method. Through this our students acquire a feeling for the German language much faster than conventional techniques, developing a large lexicon that can be put into use from day one of your course.

Frequent spoken language with less theory and more practical training practice is a very effective way to prepare our students for everyday encounters in Germany and various oral examinations.

                               NATIVE SPEAKER TEACHERS

….ensure the highest quality of teaching and provide an authentic feeling for the language. Highly qualified and experienced, innovative, motivated and friendly; these are our teachers!!!

                            PERSONAL COUNSELLING

The key to a successful learning experience at sprachart BERLIN is getting it right from the start! Before you start your course you will be able to discuss with our staff any specific needs and desires; so that from your very first lesson you feel you are on the first step to achieving your goals.

                      FREE PLACEMENT

Prior to your course you can be evaluated on your existing knowledge of the language you wish to study. A placement test will be administered so that you can start on the most appropriate course for your current level. If you recently finished a level of German language, there is no need for you to take the test. But if you need it, write it comfortably online from your home or come over – no appointment is necessary.

                ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT

Our team is available online and personally to the school’s opening times (check HERE) and is always happy to advise you on course dates, pricing, tests and any other information about our courses you might need. Come over without an appointment and say HELLO.

         GERMAN COURSES FOR COMPANIES: FLEXIBILITY AND MOBILITY

We can create customized content for you according to your needs. By focusing on achieving the requirements and learning targets of your staff we can efficiently and successfully accomplish them. When it comes to the time and place of your lessons, that is entirely up to you.

My experience at Sprachart Berlin was really nice!! A very detailed study curriculum and very patient teachers especially Julia, Isra and Mariano! Everyone from the teachers to the office staff are so friendly and helpful! Alex from the office is such an amazing and helpful person for all the questions you have , he is always ready to help with a big smile on his face!
I not only did my A1 to B2 there but also took my Telc exams there which was super nice because it’s such a hassle to book for exams online.
They also helped with my visa and gave me all the documents I needed to apply for it! So if you are looking for a school to learn German, Sprachart Berlin is the place! Viel Spaß!

Took two courses (a2-b1) over the summer and enjoyed them very much. My teachers; Mariano, David and Julia were great and extremely helpful. Each had their own styles and methods which really contributed to my learning and also understand how I can learn best. Foreign languages were never my best subjects at school, so it was very enlightening to see them taught differently to how I experienced them at school. The school itself is very conveniently located in the centre of Berlin. The facilities are good, the office staff great, and the class sizes small. You'll also find yourself meeting new people and friends and plenty of places - the nearby gleisdreieck and Victoria parks especially in summer - to practice with!! Would highly recommend!!

Sprachart is an excellent school. I have been studying here for four months, from B1.1 through B2.2. The teachers are talented, learned, caring, patient, and sensitive to the needs of students. We learn the grammar while we are also encourage to speak and USE the language -- not an easy task in German, which can be frustratingly complicated! I recommend Sprachart without hesitation.

From initial tutor selection, then throughout each structured lesson, the sprachart tutor, Doro, was engaging, highly knowledgeable in her German proficiency and made every session fun. This allowed the development of a relaxed learning environment. My German has improved dramatically and I will look forward to continuing with the school as my working timetable permits! Vielen dank sprachart!
