Accommodation

During their German course in Berlin our students may choose between two types of accommodation:

Student residence on campus

The students are housed in our residence in single, twin or on occasion triple rooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. All rooms feature modern and comfortable furniture, TV and Wi-Fi internet access. Living on-campus offers many advantages: a short walk to class, ideal learning conditions and a family atmosphere.

Our all-inclusive course fees cover three meals a day as well as a selection of fresh fruit. Our kitchen staff offers a varied and healthy diet and cooks all meals fresh every day.

Bed linen and towels will be provided and changed regularly. For your personal laundry there are coin washing machines and dryers available.

Host families

In their host families, students will stay in single or twin rooms. Students will have breakfast with the family and either lunch at the school or dinner with the family. All host families have been carefully selected and are well-known to us. The commute time between host family and school may take up to one hour.

The concept of speaking German with the teachers and staff as soon as we arrive is a good idea. That’s how we learn and make new friends. You can’t ask for more!

Berlin and Constance: two cities – one course

With the combination of courses in Berlin and Constance our learners have the opportunity to experience two uniquely distinct regions of Germany within a short amount of time.

On the one hand Germany’s capital, with more than 3.5 million inhabitants is the largest and most vibrant city in the country with a large variety of sights and cultural offers.

Constance, on the other hand, is an unhurried and laid-back city of 85,000 inhabitants and is rated as having the highest quality of life in Germany due to its gorgeous location on the shores of Lake Constance and its proximity to Switzerland and the Alps.

A bus transfer between the cities (Constance–Berlin or Berlin–Constance) is included in the course fee when booking two consecutive courses of a minimum of five weeks in each of the two cities.

Bildungsurlaub + German courses in Berlin

Bildungsurlaub (educational leave) is a special form of vacation that serves vocational or political education. The German courses of the Humboldt-Institut in Berlin are recognized as an educational offer within the meaning of both the Berlin and Brandenburg Education Leave Act.

Please contact us if you would like to book a German course as part of your Bildungsurlaub. You will receive all necessary documents from us for submission to your employer.

German summer camps for teenagers

In addition to the intensive courses for adults offered throughout the year, the Humboldt-Institut also offers a summer camp for teenagers in Berlin. These summer courses take place every year in July and August in our course location Berlin-Teenager.

DISCLAIMER: Humboldt-Institut has in no way forced or asked me to write the following:I write this critique, not only... to state, publicly, my good and known opinion about Humboldt-Institut, but to respond in a direct way to @Hassan Ascher's critique, which is, top-to-bottom totally unfair and contains outright lies.When I arrived at Humboldt in Berlin, I had one basic goal: to learn German. This was not an easy task, since I knew 0 about German and what made me embark on such a difficult task to prepare my Law Master's dissertation. Especially during the pandemic. I arrived in November 2021. What endeared me first were the accommodations. The rooms are hotel-like: clean sheets every week, as well as a general cleaning of the room. The housekeepers are super friendly. Then comes the food: you have, for breakfast, a fully equipped buffet. The kitchen staff is always ready to help you. Since I have type 1 diabetes, from the day I arrived until now, food has never been a challenge for the Kitchen. They serve except what I need to keep my suggestion levels low.As for the classes, they range from 6 to 12 studs. Good luck finding another language school with these few students. Classes are stuck according to a placement test. I felt that my classmates were always more or less on the same page that I was on. The classes are really engaging and you can feel a great atmosphere. The conditions are really good and the tables and chairs are modern. The teachers are always ready to help you. You can count on excellent preparation for the exams and the road ahead. If you take the intensive course, expect a 30-hour class per week. But there are many other options.I have never experienced any kind of discrimination at Humboldt. I have had colleagues from all over the world. We are always treated as one: students. Not less, not more.You pay what you get. If the prices seem a bit high, you can very quickly get a calculator and do the math. A 9-month stay in Humboldt is much cheaper than staying in a rented apartment - if you can find one, that's to be expected, not counting food expenses (expect 70-100 euros per week, except for the supermarket only), 86 euros for a one-month pass for public transport and serverel others, wicht includes language school, materials. And you can't forget the excellent conditions that can be found here. All in all, you will find viel Erfolg (or many successes in German) in Humboldt.I simply cannot find Hassan Ascher's review to be true. There are, of course, mistakes, but that is part of the human condition. For my part, the Board always wanted to hear from me when I had problems.To sum up: if you want to learn German with a strong foundation, the Humboldt Institut in Berlin is the place for you! I can only thank Humboldt for all the support and help.Manuel de Albuquerque.read more

Estuve durante marzo y abril cursando un curso intensivo de los que oferta el instituto, aprovechando una excedencia... por estudios. He de destacar:1) El curso realmente ayuda a progresar rápidamente en habilidades lingüísticas, asumiendo que se disponga del tiempo y la motivación necesarias. El curso requerirá bastantes horas a la semana. El resultado es patente en mi vida diaria, pudiendo desenvolverme en alemán con confianza.2) La calidad del profesorado es sobresaliente, tanto en la impartición de la materia como en mantener la clase atenta durante al menos cuatro horas al día. Un desafío teniendo en cuenta la diversidad de los alumnos.3) Y la higiene. El Instituto se tomó muy en serio nuestra salud durante un pico epidémico. Debíamos presentar un test negativo todos los días como requisito para entrar y el uso de mascarillas era obligatorio. El aforo de las clases fue reducido, y eran ventiladas antes y después de cada clase. A pesar de la altísima incidencia en Berlín durante aquellos días, no tuve que lamentar contagio alguno.He de aclarar que por falta de tiempo no pude disfrutar de la variedad de las actividades culturales y de ocio que el Instituto ofrecía por las tardes, y por tanto no puedo valorarlas, salvo en su diversidad de opciones.Asimismo, tampoco puedo valorar su oferta de alojamiento ya que resido en Berlín. Sí puedo decir que los estudiantes alojados en la instalaciones parecían felices y bien cuidados :)En resumen: de los gastos en educación mejor invertidos en mi vida. Una experiencia inmejorable y sin duda consideraré el instituto como mi opción de preferencia para continuar mejorando mi alemán en un futuro próximo.read more

I'm a German professor at a small liberal arts college in the US. The students on our study away program take 7 weeks... of intensive German language to prepare for the second phase of the program (which includes some direct enrollment at a German-language university). This year, we unexpectedly needed to find a new languague institute for our students. After researching other options, we landed on the Humboldt-Institut Berlin, and I'm so glad we did. The students were all satisfied with their experience and raved about the classes (very small class sizes--excellent for language learning), the teachers, the housing, the food, the leisure program--pretty much everything. When I asked them what their favorite part of the experience was, many of them replied: "the people!"I'll just add this: directing a study away program during a global pandemic is hard, and one reason why we selected the H-I was because of the covid safety measures they have in place. Sure enough, several of the students in our program tested positive and had to quarantine for 7-10 days, but they were very well cared for during that time. I was grateful for the excellent communication that the Institut provided in this situation. Indeed, the group booking agent was incredibly responsive and kind throughout our entire collaboration and planning. I know my experience with the H-I is an indirect one, but I would highly recommend it, as would my students!read more

I spend 5 weeks in Humboldt-Institute in Berlin. I can recommend to anyone who wants to improve his German and... experience Berlin. I appreciated the most:- German lessons - Stefan was one of the best teachers I have ever met. I made big progress in speaking as well as in writing. I would need normally a year for similar progress.- organized rich leisure program that helped me get to know the whole Berlin (and also some other cities)- location of school - just next to the S-Bahn station and 20 minutes walk to many city highlights- “all-inclusive” catering. Always enough food and also taking into account dietary restrictions- nicely renovated and good equipped room- very friendly staff with a family atmosphere- I am no longer in my student years, yet I appreciated the inspiring contact with young people.read more

Qui in Humboldt Institute ho avuto una bellissima esperienza. Ho seguito il corso di tedesco per due mesi e mezzo e i... risultati sono molto evidenti. Il mio tedesco è migliorato esponenzialmente grazie anche al mio alloggio presso una famiglia. Con la famiglia mi sono trovata quasi come a casa mia e poter parlare con loro mi ha aiutato molto. Humboldt è frequentato da molte persone giovani ed interessanti che vengono da tutto il mondo. Le lezioni sono fatte in piccoli gruppi (massimo 12 persone circa) e molto interattive. Le due insegnanti che ho avuto sono state davvero brave e le attività dopo scuola sempre molto coinvolgenti. In Humboldt ti puoi sentire proprio come in una grande famiglia e lo consiglio a chiunque voglia migliorare in poco tempo il proprio tedesco in una città (Berlino) incredibile e piena di opportunità.read more

I can't rate Humboldt highly enough. The placement test I took placed me perfectly, I felt, and I was able to start... mid-way through an A1 course with no problem. The teaching staff are very professional and friendly and even as an older student I felt completely comfortable there. The rooms are basic, but very clean and well maintained and the food was great. I'd have no hesitation in recommending one of their courses to anyone.read more

Very cool place to study German! In 2011 I studied at Humboldt in Bad Schussenried, but this time I chose Berlin... (because it’s for adults). We have very cozy and interesting lessons, teachers are very very friendly, kind and professional. In winter there are not so many students, but anyway it’s cool to study there. Staff and workers do the best to make lessons, free time and weekends fun and useful. Courses are really intensive and heavy, but you will speak German every day, you will learn much new stuff and you will meet cool people.Accommodations could be a little bit better, but rooms are fresh-repaired and rather big.I love Humboldt, the best German-school in Germany!read more

Das ist die beste Option wenn du eine produktive Urlaub machen möchtest und auch die Sprache verbessern und neue Freunde treffen.read more

Normalerweise hinterlasse ich keine Kommentare. Aber wenn es um das Humboldt-Institut geht, sollte ich es bewerten,... denn diese Sprachschule ist wirklich toll. Ich habe für 15 Wochen im Humbolt Institut Deutsch gelernt. Und Ich kann sicher sagen, dass dank Humbolt ich die Grundlage für Deutsch gut aufbauen konnte. Am Anfang habe ich über die Anmeldung des Kurses gegrübelt, weil die Kursgebühren ja kostspielig sind. Zusammenfassend war es gute Wahl, um Deutsch gut zu lernen. Ich kann aus meine persönlichen Erfahrungen sagen, dass das Niveau hier höher als andere Sprachschulen ist und das Curriculum auch ordentlich geplant ist. Beim Humbolt sollen die Schüler Lernstoff viel wiederholen, um den Kurs zu folgen!(Ich meine, dass Sie viel lernen werden.) Wenn ich diese Sprachsuhle nicht ausgewählt hätte, hätte mein Deutsch nicht verbessert werden können 🙂 Also, nochmal danke schön, liebe Humbolt-Team !!!read more

Passei 4 meses no Instituto Humboldt do A2 ao B2. Fantástico para aprender rápido alemão, o preço é meio salgado... comparado a outras escolas em Berlin, mas vale a pena. Professores excelentes, turmas pequenas, salas bem equipadas, o internato parece um hotel 4 estrelas, isso sem falar na comida que é excelente e no centro de Berlin. Do contrário de outras escolas que conheci, o ambiente é familiar e isso facilita o contato com outros alunos, com isso fica mais fácil de praticar o alemão tb fora da sala de aula. Eu recomendo. 😉read more

여기가 다른 어학원들보다 비싸다고 생각할 수 있습니다. 하지만 가장 빠른 진도와 실력 향상을 보장합니다. 결론적으로는 시간 절약이 되죠. 본인이 열심히 수업에 참여한다면요. B1마치는 데까지 15주 밖에 안... 걸립니다. 다양한 여가활동 프로그램도 제공되고, 독일에서의 생활을 시작하기에 최고의 어학원입니다. 기숙사는 다소 비싼데, 전체적으로 시설 좋고 깨끗합니다. 전자식 열쇠를 사용해 보안도 좋고요.read more

지금 수업 삼 주정도 들었습니다.저는 전에 다른 학원 다니다가 옮겼는데 확실히 수준도 굉장히 높고 자유시간 프로그램도 굉장히 탄탄합니다 솔직히 조금 비싼감도 있지만 기숙사도 깔끔하고 독일 음식 입에 안맞아서 조금... 힘들어했었는데 음식도 샐러드 스프 메인 요리 디저트까지 굉장히 맛있어요👍read more

He venido ya varios años a Humboldt porque me parece una gente muy profesional, el nivel de enseñanza es muy alto y... las habitaciones y demás instalaciones son magníficas y muy modernas. Además, hay gente de todos los continentes y edades. De Berlín, no hace falta decir mucho... Muy divertido. Recomendable.read more

I took a two week super-intensive course here in September 2015. Facility is first rate, as is the instruction. ... Expensive, but recommended.read more

After two months and a half at Huboldt, I think it is a nice school with a family feel. We got off on the wrong foot,... as I didn't expect their internal system of organising the classes, and I felt the progress was too slow. However, with the right teacher, one can learn a lot. I think that the full-time modality great for people 18-24 who don't live in Berlin.The classes can be interesting or not depending on the teacher, as in all other schools. One positive point for me was that one can usually sign up at any time and there is availability, which is unfortunately not true for the Goethe Institut.One MUST clearly understand their own system of advancing through levels, before deciding to sign up, as Humboldt is a pricey option.I remain a fan of Goethe Institut, but I can vouch that one can advance through the B2 levels in Humboldt within 9 weeks and feel the difference.I can't speak of the accommodation, as I didn't stay there. The food is quite good, tho.read more

Zweifellos die beste Sprachschule in Berlin. Zwar vergleichsweise ein bisschen teuer von dem Geld her, lohnt sich aber... auf jeden Fall, besonders wenn man betrachtet dass es eine Investition in die Zukunft ist. Insgesamt ungefähr 6 Monaten hab ich da, bei dem Intensivkurse sowie dem TestDaF Vorbereitungskurs, verbracht, und zufriedener kann ich nicht sein. Sie bieten auch sehr gute Freizeitaktivitäten (einschließlich Ausflüge nach anderen Städten in Deutschland, Polen, etc.) außerhalb der Unterrichtsstunden an, deren Kosten selbstverständlich für Internatsschüler eingeschlossen sind. Definitiv empfehlenswert!read more
