What we like about the school

What we dislike about the school
  • A 40 minute lesson duration is a bit shorter than normal.

Munich International Airport is within a 45-60 minute journey of the school via public transport.

As a group, EF has hubs in Boston, London, Barcelona, Mexico City, São Paulo, Shanghai, Stockholm, Zürich, and more!

Every Monday

This course is ideal for students who want to achieve a general understanding of German, with a balanced approach towards all of the main language skills. You will develop your abilities with EF Munich’s 26 weekly classes, and by staying with a local homestay family you have the opportunity to continue speaking German when you’re not in class or out in public.

The General German course also provides 4 Special Interest Lessons, which you can take advantage of to go more in-depth with topics that you would like to learn more about.

When it comes to meals, your host family will provide you with breakfast and dinner. In most families’ homes, breakfast is taken individually, while dinner is expected to be enjoyed together. The school recommends making an effort to be present for dinners, to foster a positive relationship with your host family - and it also contributes to your total time spent practising your German.
