The main study environment uses German. Progress depends on the weekly lesson load and how consistently the language is used in accommodation, shops, transport and student activities.
Pronunciation, vocabulary and speaking speed vary by region, age and setting. Listening beyond classroom recordings is an important part of preparing for real communication in Germany.
Weather and daylight vary by region and season in Germany. Check the exact city and travel dates before choosing clothing, accommodation and weekend plans.
