Living and Learning at the Language Guesthouse

That's our immersion concept for adult learners. The student's aim is the teacher's task, whether that aim is to close some gap in grammar knowledge, to improve oral or written expression, to acquire the terminology of a technical language or to pass a language exam, and whether you need German skills for your job, your academic studies, daily life in a German speaking country or just for your forthcoming holidays. Learn more about our teaching concept at Learning: 1-to-1+Immersion

You can study German anywhere, but you can only experience the authentic Germany in Germany itself! And staying at the Language Guesthouse, with its personal, welcoming atmosphere and hospitality, you'll gain a deeper insight in German culture and life than anywhere else.

Secrets of our success in language teaching

We learn a language more easily if we are genuinely interested in what we read or listen to and if we experience real communication from the very outset. We also make better progress in a comfortable learning environment which encourages us to experiment with the new language without worrying about making errors and mistakes.

The Breisgau region is the ‘mediterranean’ south of Germany – it enjoys more sunny days and is generally some degrees warmer than elsewhere. The Kaiserstuhl hills are not only home to some excellent wines; they are also a little landscape gem among the regions of Germany. More on Breisgau+Kaiserstuhl
