The Standard Course focuses on learning and actively using language structures – this way the instruction is very much practice oriented. But what does this actually mean? Your teacher will assign you an active role while studying German and will draw you and your fellow students directly into his interactive instruction. We try to avoid that you just sit there passively, listening what the teacher is going to explain up front. Your teacher will help you studying the language by instructing you clearly and thus enabling you to develop and to explain grammatical rules and structures on your own and independently. Because only when you actively understand what you’ve learned you will also memorize and internalize it permanently!
In the Standard Course, German language will always be practiced and taught in context by using as far as possible authentic, everyday life language situations. This way you will study language in everyday, professional and university situations – after all, you study towards a well-defined goal and you want to focus on that from the very beginning. Through this practical orientation of the Standard Course, already after a very short time you will gain a solid linguistic basis for making yourself more familiar with the language and culture in Germany, with the country and its people. And this will be true for all areas of modern life, because our modern didactical approach will always concentrate on listening, reading, speaking and writing.
Requirements
Aside from a decent knowledge of German language you will also need the permission of the Central Employment Office (ZAV) for going on practical training in Germany. As long as you are at least 18 years old and citizen of the EC, of the United States of America, Switzerland, Japan or of Australia, we can arrange for an internship position that will start after you have finished your German course. For all other nationalities the possibilities for going on internship in Germany are limited. However, in case you are enrolled at a university in your home country as a regular student and as long as the internship will be related to your field of studies, the training will usually be permitted.
Course Content
Make more of your studies: Optimize your language stay in Germany and continue your studies after finishing the German course with an internship at a German company! Here you get the chance to apply what you’ve just learned in class first hand. Besides, you gain important work experience that’ll look good on your CV and increase your career opportunities. There are 2 program varieties: First, a qualified internship position in a variety of fields such as architecture, book keeping, design or tourism. For this kind of internship an excellent knowledge of German language will be required (completed B2 level). If you intend to get work experience in a hotel or restaurant, reaching the B1 level will be sufficient.
We will try to find you an internship position according to your professional expertise and interests. However, this might not always be possible at the particular course location. We also cannot exactly guarantee that you’ll get an internship position at a particular company or in a very specialized field. In this case we suggest an alternative, i.e. an internship in a related professional field. All internships offered will not be paid – some companies, however, will give you some pocket money! In case of earlier discontinuance of the internship, the internship fee will not be reimbursed.

The school environment, lecturers, office staff, everything was professional. They all performed very pleasantly, I learned a lot, they were patient, they used different teaching methods.
The other participants of the course were very friendly, communicative. The whole course was very beneficial for me, I learned a lot.
As a whole, they were kind and sensitive to the needs of the students. Teachers has a very good assessment skills unto what the students needs to learn more, highly competent and very effective. The school was easy to locate and the classrooms were clean and inside properly arranged. So far, I can say I had an extravagant experience throughout the course.
Show details » Read more...The teaching was very good and it was a great experience for my listening and speaking training. In my country I learn German also but the speaking was always a difficulty because i can only speak with my teacher but in this course I can talk not only with my teachers but with the rest of the group.As I said it was an amazing experience and I would do it again.
Show details » Read more...There are too much students in a single class and classes are small. In summer it is very difficult to study
Show details » Read more...I took private lessons. Teachers were very friendly and kind.
Especially, teachers teach me classes according to my schedule. So, I could have a long free time.
I could go a lot of places.
Apartments were very clean and comfortable. I thought I want to live more.
The course was good. I had no knowledge of German, so I had a starter course. The material was good, the teachers (Djamilla, Silvo and Eike) were great, but I did not like the others. I think I had a dynamic learning and higher class because of these three teachers.
The location was good; access was easy.
I found our classroom very tight for many people, and there was a lot of disorganization regarding the casting of teachers. Djamila went on vacation and had passed through 3 teachers. On one day, we ran out of half of a class in the morning, and we had to replace this with another afternoon. Another teacher (Erica) was rude to a Spaniard and another Brazilian who was there. She was clapping at the answers we gave (debauchery?). I found this as a lack of respect for students, mainly because everyone came from other countries to study, leave home and family, and are alone in another place and another culture, and end up going through unnecessary situations such as these.
The bathroom was very tight.
Actually, I just attended a one week course, but I found it very useful and interesting. Teachers were extremely prepared, and I succeeded in improving my German skills in so little time.
Show details » Read more...The teacher was very authoritarian and not very helpful in explaining properly the grammar. The facilities were quite far from the centre of the city and not specially welcoming.
Show details » Read more...did deutsch-institut Frankfurt was well-run and friendly. The classes moved quickly, and I learned much more German than I would have ever dreamed in the four weeks that I was there. The teachers were all good, using a variety of methods--read-aloud, games, discussion, partner work, creative writing, grammar exercises and more to keep the classes interesting. Expectations were very high, and the book we mostly worked from was engaging. As an older language learner, I enjoyed the fact that our level had people of different ages, countries of origin, and experiences. The school itself was easy to get to, just a block away from the Sud Banhof station. My only criticism is that while all the teachers were very capable, there was a lot of teacher turnover, and it was hard to be constantly adjusting to a different teacher style.
Show details » Read more...I paid for one course of a week duration and for a beginner's level. When I arrived to the school the personnel did me a level test and they said that for my level the courses had begun two weeks ago so there was no course for me...they prepared "something" for me, it was just three day of classes, and each day just 2 or 3 hours, I was so disappointed with that, I paid for something I did not get. I would like to repeat the experience but probably I will check for another academy. I did not get no diploma or nothing about my "course".
Show details » Read more...I'm on the second week of my 12 week course and everything has been great so far. The school is right besides an exit of an important subway station so it is easy to find. Most of the professors are really nice and all of them take their jobs seriously. The administrative personnel in the school are very helpful.
Show details » Read more...Last June I went to Frankfurt to study German in DID for three weeks and arranged it with LI. My language level was low when I arrived, and they made everything easy from the beginning. They found the best housing, according to my wishes (kind of host family and location), and explained every detail clearly and in advance. The staff at the school were nice and helpful too, and the course was exactly what I expected. What I liked most was that I had two teachers, each one in alternate days, which I found perfect, if you don't get something in one way, next day you have a different explanation. My whole experience is good/excellent, in fact I extended my stay for a week more than planed once I was there, and I plan to repeat in the future.
Show details » Read more...My experience was very good. I learned German very fast. The intensive course gives you a good command over German in short time. The staff in the school is very good and kind. They help me to solve all problems very quickly. The information I received was very clear and useful. Maybe the only bad point is the price. But the relationship quality/price is very good.
