German for older children – beginners

In today’s globalised world, knowing foreign languages is extremely valuable. German occupies a special position because of its historical, cultural and economic importance, which is why we recommend our German for older children – beginners course.  German is one of the most widely spoken languages in Europe and opens the door to better career opportunities, wider access to education and a deeper understanding of cultural and economic ties.

German universities are famous for their quality and innovation, with many of them offering free or affordable study programmes, which is a great advantage for students. Not only that, but organisations such as the DAAD offer numerous scholarships for international students who know German. Even exchanges such as the Erasmus programmes frequently include opportunities to learn German or even to study in German. Knowing German is thus a key that opens the door to top-quality education and better life opportunities.

As well as its practical benefits in the fields of work and education, German offers a rich cultural experience. German-speaking countries such as Germany, Austria and Switzerland are popular tourist destinations, where knowing the language makes it easier to communicate with locals and allows a more authentic experience of the local culture. German is also the language of great writers, musicians and philosophers. Understanding Goethe, Kafka or Beethoven in the original is a privilege granted by knowing the language. German is also one of the key languages in science and technology and enables access to a wide circle of information, research and innovation.

Learning a language stimulates cognitive abilities, improves memory and builds confidence
