At Kästner Kolleg in Dresden, you won't find ordinary English courses, but the kind that are inspiring and engaging. With this school you can learn English from scratch or brush up on language skills that you already have but need improvement.
The native-speaking course instructors teach English directly and according to the communicative approach. Their teachers have experience with learners who are new to learning English or who are still reserved about speaking in public. Repetitions and direct use of language in role plays and simulations of "real language" ensure your learning success in the long term.
This course will be replaced by the Summer Intensive Course from 03 Jul and 25 Aug. If the course period is overlapping, low and high season prices are specified upon request.
The Intensive German course is the right choice if you want to learn general German in a systematic and reliable way. No matter if you are a beginner in the German language or have already had German lessons. No matter whether you are learning German for living, for university or for work – the German Intensive Course is the classic when it comes to Intensive German lessons in Dresden.
Special note for 2023 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2023 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2022 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2023 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

Student comments about Apartment Residence
Angela
"Homestay was in an interesting house. Delightful couple. The room looked spectacular but in practical terms it was not so good. No window coverings. Bright light all night. Lights operated by mobile phone which was cumbersome and irritating.
The apartment at the school was very good. I was told on the first day a new bed would be installed. This did not happen. Existing couch was very old. However overall I enjoyed the space and privacy.

Other comments: I have not included an assessment of the social activities because I had my program of visits to make, and I was not interested in the school's one; but I saw that they aimed to engage the students, and if I was a little girl, and I'm not anymore, I would be interested in the activities proposed. I have also not included my review of the accommodation, because I was in a hotel chosen by me and where I had a great time.

Marco
38 years“The teachers are very friendly and competent. The organization is excellent, both the structure, as the lessons. Moreover there is the possibility to take advantage of trips organized by the college itself.”
Insider tips about what future students should not miss: If you choose to do a few weeks you are put into groups already in place, which have already a program in progress, so you can have the impression of losing part of it, if entering a phase not initial . However, the teachers are available to the correction of personal exercises that go beyond the current program.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss: Before buying additional private lessons, it is better to attend a group course for a few days. 5 hours per day are already a hard job. I did the opposite and it was difficult for me. The course with 4 hours per day is the best option for me takinig into consideration the homework.

Other comments: I would like to have an internet connection with a higher speed and an access to the printer at the school. It would also be useful to reduce the group size up to 8 people. There were 12 students in my group and in my opinion it was a bit too much.
