Vienna ratings & reviews

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.

1.0Carlos Spain

I love Vienna so much after this course!! I really would love to live there.

5.0Amelia Poland

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. ”

Don't just take our word for it

100,000+ happy clients since 1999

The evaluations by students after they complete a course is excellent. The discount for using your website is also a great incentive. It also would be wonderful if the website would include more cities and a bigger selection of schools in each city.

The service of languagecourse.net is great, I booked already 3 schools and I can highly recommend it. In fact, I tell everybody I meet on my journey in South America about this website and how well everything is organized.

I am very satisfied. I found more/relevant information on your webpage than on the school's website itself. It is the cheapest offer. I'm going to book my next course on your site soon.

You're just great, doing a fantastic job. I'll be back in a couple of weeks and be booking my next stay abroad with you again (as always).

I was really surprised with your assistance to me, the service was amazing, following me on every step, thank you!

The service received has been fantastic. All doubts and issues were solved quickly and effectively. An exceptional service.

Your service was excellent . You helped me to choose exactly the right course for me .

I had excellent support with the school choice and booking. I was grateful knowing that if a problem arose, I had someone to liaise with the school and sort it out. Many thanks

Your service was excellent, really following up and holding my hand.! My older step-brother used your service a few years ago to study Spanish in Salamanca and Granada and we found LanguageCourse.Net so helpful then as well.

I genuinely rate the enrolment service five stars as it exceeded my expectations - everything that was booked worked out flawlessly, and queries were responded to with minimal delay. Ana Carolina was great - thanks!

Everything was perfect. Fast and efficient help. Kindness and support from start to finish. Thanks a lot!

Excellent support. In particular, Ana Carolina is amazing and goes out of her way to help. I have called upon Ana in the past and will do so in the future. I am genuinely grateful. Thank you Ana!

Sabine was FANTASTIC! Very complete communication all along the process!

Ana Carolina dos Santos was amazing. Always kind and available, she solved all my doubts.

Sawsan was amazing throughout the booking process. Was extremely helpful and attentive and professional.

Just keep up the good work. The organization is excellent, so that even less experienced travellers would feel ok to come to China. I also felt really good in the host family, they were really great!
