Our greeting families are recruited with great care. The criteria of selection are very rigorous and each family must satisfy a precise schedule of conditions: excellent morality, desire to communicate with their host, satisfactory social standing. We should specify that the families will only speak with you the language of the country where you will be. It is the principle of the immersion courses!

Courses and company training (Internship).

It is possible to learn German and then to have a training in a company ( Internship). For people aged 18 to 26. The stay consists in 2 parts.

 - On one hand a language course to reach a sufficient level (intermediate) of
minimum 6 weeks
      6 weeks allow you to get a more interesting job in a company.
The cities for the course are Berlin, Frankfort, Munich or Hamburg. Cities for Internship are more numerous. Tell us the German city you would like to go, same as courses, or another one.
For the language part you have all details above in this program (see table for prices) and the different accommodation possibilities

 - For the internship part, a unique 480 Euros for a qualified work will be asked.
Accommodation during working period will be in a family or, as many, a room rented in the city. The period of Internship lasts between 2 and 6 months. During this period the trainee is not paid, but often the company looks a small financial compensation if it's satisfied.
The minimum delay to make application for an Internship program is 3 months before the date of the training and not the course which precedes. A CV in German will be required as well as 3 photos. For certain qualified "jobs", an interview with the company will be required and will take place during the period of language learning.
 

Town information

     

BERLIN.gif (24061 bytes)Berlin is a destination increasingly popular since its wall fell. Attractions which symbolize the reunification of Germany are numerous there, in particular; Alexanderplatz, Tiergarten and the gate of Brandebourg, the castle of Charlotteburg, the museum of Dahlem, the opera, theatres in particular that of Bertolt Brecht, the museum of Pergame, the national gallery and the museum of Berlin.The large avenue of Ku' damm and its shops, the avenue Unter den Linden, the Sainte-Edwidge cathedral and the Sainte-Marie church are also worth visiting. Berlin is, undoubtedly, one of the most fascinating towns in Europe. In a way or another, everyone is taken by its magic and its atmosphere full of life. There are few cities in the world which can join together the old so well with the new, the modern and the traditional. Testimonies of the pass and the present that Berlin offers to its visitors, are inexhaustible. Broad alleys, splendid parks, castles imposing baroques and statues equestrian constitute an incomparable spectacle and testify that formerly, the city was the residence of the Prussian kings and later of the German emperors. Nowadays the town of 4 million inhabitants with its boulevards without end, is one of the most visited  European city. There is nobody who has never read or heard the name Kürfurstendamm which is in the Western part of town; it is an exclusive commercial boulevard with the style of the Thirties and fifties, the street Unter den Linden which is in the East represents the center itself and of origin of the town of Berlin. We find there an imposing architecture  such as for example the traditional gate of Brandebourg or Neue Wache.It is worth to devote time here, there is really a lot of things interesting to see, the markets, the museums and innumerable coffee shops on the terrace where it is not rare to hear folk music. In addition, there is hardly another city in the world in which one finds all in double. Universities, operas of states or national galleries, zoological gardens and much of other public institutions exist in double because of the separation  which lasted 28 years in the 2 halves of the city. Apart from the imposing monuments and its rich water and forests, Berlin offers an atmosphere of large city with a beneficial relaxation. In this way, a very particular attraction is the famous tours in steamboats on the Spree, the artery of Berlin, or the excursions in the picturesque forest area of the lakes Wannsee or Müggelsee. Many small restaurants and bars in Berlin invite you to make knowledge with the Berliner kitchen; knuckle of ham, thick soup of vegetable and meat, sausage with curry, beer and the Berliner fritters (thickets with jams) are the specialties of the city. The small restaurants of Berlin are thus a good occasion to make the experiment of a good meal.
