What we like about the school
  • Dedicated support team for personalised assistance.

Location: Berlin Sprachschule is located in the culturally rich and dynamic city of Berlin, Germany. The school is within the Schönenberg area, known for its galleries, gourmet eateries, the KaDeWe department store and more. There are also several green spaces within walking distance of the school and links to public transport. Additional attractions of the area include David Bowie's Berlin apartment.

Getting around: Berlin is a great city for walking around, with many fascinating areas and attractions of social and cultural interest. The school is within a 450 walk of the closest underground and transit station and is within a few minutes' walk from the closest bus route.

Course selection: The school provides German courses to students of all levels, over various schedules and intensities. In addition to General German programmes, Berlin Sprachschule also provides combination programmes of tuition in groups and individually, Summer Camps for Junior students of various ages, University Pathway programmes, German & Volunteering, and Exam Preparation programmes (TestDaF, TELC, GOETHE).

Social and cultural: Many of Berlin's attractions are a short distance from the city centre, around a 20-minute journey from the school via public transport. Some of the city's most visited attractions and sites of interest include the Brandenburg Gate, the massive Großer Tiergarten, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, Berlin Cathedral, Checkpoint Charlie and the Berliner Fernsehturm.

Student reviews about "Standard" at Alpadia
William 4.0
"I got what I paid for."
Special note for 2027 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2027 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2026 many schools were fully booked during the holidays and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2027 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

“I liked the lessons because in the class there are only students who want to learn the language. With this I was able to concentrate very well in the class and I learned a lot in Alpadia.”
Insider tip: “Try to talk to as many Germans as possible. When you do, try even to talk with other people in German. There are many types of cultures and not everybody can speak your language, but you are sure that everybody knows a minimum German.”
Details of the review
Other comments: I didn't like when my lessons were changed and placed in the afternoon because I wasn't able to visit the museums of Berlin and also to spend time with my new friends whose lessons were in the morning.

“The administration was efficient, especially with the issues prior to my arrival”
Insider tip: “You can always self decide which group you'd rather belong to, the placement test doesn't always reflect your language skils. Sometimes the school places you in another group, just because the right one is full at the moment.”

FAQ about Alpadia, Berlin

Can the school help a person with Visa and lodging?
“The school can help with an acceptance letter upon confirmation of the booking. However, unfortunately, they do not assist students for accommodation as they don't offer any.”
Madly Simba, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 27, 2024
I’ve been wanting to learn German for a while now, but I’ve been putting off getting started because I’ve heard that it’s a really tough language. Is it really that hard to learn a new language, and what are the factors that make a language more or less difficult?
“Learning a language is not difficult. Speaking a new language in front of people may be intimidating, but with the right tools, anyone can succeed. Everyone has to start somewhere. Success in language learning requires motivation, willpower, perseverance, and regular practice.”
