What our students said about Vienna

I think is a city where there is always something to do. Many museums and galleries. And the people are nicer than Germans :). However, I feel the city doesn't have a personality, like it has an artificial aspect of beauty where every neighbourhood feels the same, even the people who live there seems to be the same, no matter the district you are.

All the best. The best teacher I ever had, Hemma (teacher name), was punctual, prepared, and 100% present at all times in the classroom with the students and the subject. She was knowledgeable and supportive at all times.

Q&A - Questions about German courses and schools in Vienna

I will be studying at university for a year, starting in September. Could you recommend a host family willing to rent me a quiet room where I can practice the harp and learn German?

“Our partners are full-time language schools or organisations that offer immersion programs where students take private lessons while staying with a teacher. We do not provide homestays alone.”

Andy Fukutome, LanguageCourse.Net - May 29, 2025

I have a group of about 20 students that I would like to send to Vienna, can you please give me a quote?

“We will be happy to help you organize your trip, but we will need you to provide us with some more information by filling out the special questionnaire for groups that you will find on our home page, in the "Help & Contact" section.”

Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Dec 05, 2022

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions About German Courses in Vienna

Can I start my course other days than Mondays?

“Group courses run Monday to Friday, so start day must be a Monday. If this is not possible with your schedule, we can check availability for private lessons with a more flexible time schedule.”

Louise Granath, Area Manager from LanguageCourse.Net - Sep 16, 2022

What information do we need to know about public transport in Vienna?

“Vienna's transport network is very efficient. There is an underground (U-Bahn), trams, buses and a suburban rail network (Schnellbahn). Tickets are available at ticket offices in the underground stations as well as the Wien Mobil App. There are weekly tickets, monthly tickets, 24 h tickets, and single tickets. We suggest to download the Wien Mobil App as you can purchase your tickets directly in the app but also look up routes from one location to your destination and check for timetables. ”

Julia Wiener, School Office & Service Centre Manager from Wien Sprachschule, Vienna - Feb 11, 2022
