Student comments about "Intensive Course" at GLS - German Language School
Lesley 5.0
"Enthusiastic and very competent teachers."
Alena 5.0
"Very good school, recommend to pay for breakfast in advance "
Special note for 2025 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2025 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2024 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2025 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

“Standard of teaching was great, the textbook used was useful. Stammtisch (after class activities) was useful. Homestay was superb.”
Disliked
“Initial placement interview placed me 2 courses below where I should've been. Perhaps a better system would be better. Free time activities were not as good as expected, the Stammtisch was poorly attended and lots of people there weren't speaking in German, other activities were cancelled at short notice.”

Viktoria Pelke, Senior Educational Consultant from GLS - German Language School - Feb 23, 2024
Can I prepare my own meals at the homestay?
“Students staying with host families are not allowed to use the kitchen.
Preparing your own meals is possible in private and shared apartments.”
Gosia Mazur, LanguageCourse.Net - Jul 20, 2023
I am 15 years old, I want to book a German course 18 lessons per week for more than 3 months, do you have any recommendation?
Why do some courses require ages 17-18?
“If the course specifies an age range, it is for juniors. If no age ranges are specified, it is for adults.
GLS - German Language School offers different courses for juniors. You can see below the course information the number of weeks you can book and the minimum language level you need to reach in order to book the course.
High School Programme-Day School Classic (12 to 18 years old) and High School Programme-Day School Select (12 to 18 years old) can be booked for 8, 12, 16, 20, 40 weeks, you need to be A2 level to book it.”
Susan Wang, LanguageCourse.Net - Dec 12, 2022
How many weeks do I have to book if I want to complete a full level of German?
“We teach German at all levels all year round, from beginners to advanced. No matter what level you are in right now, you can start your German course at our school in Berlin any Monday of the year.

Levels A1, A2 and B1 can be completed in 6 weeks (if you book 30 lessons/week) or in 8 weeks if you choose to book 20 lessons/week. The B2 level can also be completed in 6 weeks (if you book 30 lessons/week) but it takes 10 weeks if you choose to book 20 lessons/week.”

Ángel Marcos Portoles, LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 25, 2022
Am I stuck with the same group once I am assigned to it, or can I change it?
“Depending on the speed of the group, it may take longer to complete the respective skill level. Quick learners have the opportunity to change groups (after a consultation with the teacher).”
Ángel Marcos Portoles, LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 25, 2022
I would like to take a German course at GLS Berlin, but I want to be sure that I will be able to communicate in my native language (Spanish) even though I have notions of English.
“Normally, in schools it is only used the mother tongue of the country that you want to learn / improve, German in this case. If you have problems addressing the staff of the school in German, according to the information they have provided us, some of their staff also speak other languages such as English, Spanish, French, Italian or Portuguese. Although, it cannot be 100% guaranteed that someone will be able to communicate with you in your mother tongue while you are at school.”
Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.net - Jul 22, 2021

FAQ about GLS - German Language School, Berlin

My current level is A1, I would like to take the Intensive course + Internship program. Would that be possible?
“For that course, the minimum level is B1.

My advice is to take a standard course first to reach the B1 level and then you could go on the Internship program.
”
Madly Simba, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Jun 20, 2024
I wish to enrol in a C2 level group course. Do you offer such advanced level courses?
“The GLS - German Language School doesn't guarantee C2 level group courses, however we usually have C2 level group classes, especially in summer. If an intensive course for adults has less than 5 participants, and a super intensive course or an exam preparation course has less than 4 participants, GLS reserves the right to reduce tuition from 90 to 60 minutes per double lesson.”
Viktoria Pelke, Admissions Officer from GLS - German Language School - Oct 05, 2023
Can I take the TestDaF exam after 4 weeks of TestDaF Intensive Prep Course?
“You will need to obtain the tourist visa first in order to take the 4-week course, as you can avoid being charged for the cancellation fees in case of visa refusal.
The school's TestDaF Intensive Prep Course requires a B2 language level in order to register.
The school is also an official examination centre (which is described in the school profile) and you can take the exam at the school after you have completed the course at the school, the cost of the exam and the date of the exam can be found in the course description.”
Susan Wang, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 10, 2023
Do you offer evening courses?
“Yes! This school offers evening classes every Tuesday and Thursday from 18:30 until 20:30. Absolute beginners have specific starting date. Please have a look at the detailled information about this course under the courseblock section. ”

My 14-year-old daughter and I would like to take private lessons together, is it possible?
“The school offers online courses of 20 or 30 lessons and are individual lessons, i.e. 1 student per teacher, and are held online or on the school campus. If you both start from 0, we can check with the school if there is a teacher who can possibly do a 2-to-1 course, for both of you.”
