School German Language Study Trip to Berlin

On your German school trip to Berlin, combine language lessons with cultural activities, while exploring this vibrant, exciting city full of German history and culture!

Berlin is a brilliant cross-curricular destination, with a rich history and culture that offers students excellent opportunities to practise their German. After lessons, students can visit historical sites, such as the Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie and the Reichstag, visit museums and enjoy open-air concerts.

Lessons are offered in closed groups with the content designed to meet your curriculum. And all teachers are fully-qualified native speakers.

If you're looking for a more laidback introduction to Germany, you may prefer our German Culture Trip to Berlin, which combines cultural activities and sightseeing, without the German language lessons.

This was an excellent destination for students who had never been abroad. This was a perfect city for students to use the language - visiting markets and monuments etc. It was very helpful to the students who wish to take GCSE Spanish. — Wilsthorpe Community School
