What we like about the school
  • Great location in the Lehel District just a 5- minute walk from the city center and entertainment.
  • Electronic whiteboards in all classrooms.
What we dislike about the school
  • A 40 minute lesson duration is a bit shorter than normal.

Location: EF International Language Center Munich is located in the Bavarian capital city of Munich, Germany. Famed for its beer, brewing, museums and architecture, Munich offers students a unique place to further their language studies. EF Munich is housed in the Lehel district, within walking distance of many of the city's cultural and historical attractions such as the Haus der Kunst, Maximilianeum, the Bavarian National Musem and much more. There are multiple shops, cafés, restaurants and supermarkets in proximity of the school, ensuring that students can enjoy the city accordingly. Munich International Airport is within a 45-60 minute journey of the school via public transport.

School facilities: The school offers facilities that include everything students may need to reach their language goals in a comfortable and friendly international environment. These facilities include full kitchen use for students, a computer lab, a lounge area, a games room, free WIFI and a student support desk for any questions or queries that may arise. All classrooms are equipped with heating, air conditioning and ample natural light to create an optimal learning environment.

Social and Cultural: EF Munich regularly organises activities and excursions for students to take part in throughout the year. Such trips can include skiing trips to the Bavarian Alps, walking tours around the city and much more!

School chain: EF was founded in Sweden over 55 years ago. It has since then helped millions of people experience new cultures, see new places and learn new things about the world and about themselves. Across the globe, they have more than 600 schools and offices in over 50 countries, delivering the best in education and student care throughout all locations. As a group, EF has hubs in Boston, London, Barcelona, Mexico City, São Paulo, Shanghai, Stockholm, Zürich, and more!

EF understands that language programmes can be much more than the sole process of learning a language, as cultural immersion and diversity play a key part in any student's educational and life development.

Throughout the EF schools, programmes are readily available to adults and juniors, for career, personal and educational development.

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.
