Навчаюсь в закладі вже два тижні і вважаю, що це добре місце для підняття рівня німецької мови. Вчитель пояснює так, щоб учні могли зрозуміти його, при цьому все навчання проходить німецькою. Я задоволена курсом і буду продовжувати навчання.

I have participated in A1.2 and A1.2 level German intensive courses for two month. Not only our lecturer but also all the staff are extremely helpful and full of energy. Based on my experience, please mind Das Akademie's priority is speaking instead of grammar rules. If you are looking for a language course to level up your fluency, go for it! I had lots of fun while learning German within a small group. Highly recommended!

Absolutely fell in love with German as a language after taking a course with Dorina Pascu. Olalala she is the best language teacher I have ever come across. Super funny, dynamic and enthusiastic. I started learning german A1 in an online intensive class with her and I was super sad that the online intensive classes weren't available thereafter. She is a superstar. 100% recommend the school.

Place among language schools in Germany

Our place among language schools in Germany

Language schools nowadays are becoming the foundation stone of international relations. Did you know that, even in 1974, it was compulsory to learn at least one foreign language in every member state of the European Union, apart from the UK (excluding Scotland) and Ireland? 20 years later, almost every pupil in Europe was learning a second language as part of their primary education. Following that, language schools experienced a surge in demand as it became necessary for students to learn two foreign languages at secondary school level.

Nowadays, pupils benefit from 3-4 hours of language teaching in schools per week. This is where language schools come in.

According to a report in 2016, the majority of German learners decide to pick up the language due to desire or requirement relating to further studies. This would suggest that more and more post-graduate students are pursuing a new life in a German-speaking country, and need to learn the local language.

Why should I Study German at a language school?

Easy: a school like DAS Akademie will help you make friends! Our target is to make all of our students feel confident and comfortable enough to be able to speak a language fluently and effectively.

In our Berlin language school we offer a no-desk, no-stress approach. When you walk through the doors, the first thing you will notice is our spacious classrooms, which are fitted with chairs and whiteboards to make sure that your speaking skills are developed first and foremost. The first language school was opened way before the start of the 1900s, and we believe that we have hand-picked the best teachers since that period, to help you reach your full potential. Now you know about the importance of learning a language, and we’re sure that your motivation will continue to increase!

As soon as you enter DAS Akademie, you will notice that it is not like any other Berlin language school. In fact, some visitors wonder if they came to the right place.

“I was looking for the language school DAS Akademie…”

“Welcome! Here is the language school DAS Akademie.”

“Really? Now, this looks more like a…?”

Once Upon a Time in a Berlin Language School

Positively surprised, just as I was when I first came to this magic space. Is it the funky music surrounding you? The high ceilings and antique doors? The curious internal design which makes you feel at home? What the employees had for breakfast? Is it karma, or perhaps fengshui?

Back then, I had a problem. I had lived in Berlin for a long time and picked up German here and there, without any real structure or consistency. Actually, I was expecting to go through a pretty standard process. I was going to take a written placement test, after which I was surely going to be sent to a very simple class to get the basics right. In fact, I was ready to do just that. I was tired of not being able to speak.

The person who welcomed me took the time to get to know me first. She asked me about my background, my education, my goals and struggles. Had I attended language classes at another language school in Berlin or elsewhere? She offered me coffee and it felt like talking to a friend rather than a teacher.

A boutique language school?

After I took my written assessment and handed over my results, she raised a puzzled brow. She took me to a stylish classroom and asked me to wait for the teacher for a verbal assessment. The head teacher personally came to me. He immediately lit up the room with his energy, and I felt like something extraordinary was about to happen. Was he going to take a rabbit out of his hat?

I enjoyed talking to him, and for a moment, I forgot that this was an assessment and that I was at a language school in Berlin. Indeed, it felt more like a conversation with my best buddy. He asked the right questions and listened very carefully. At the end of he session, he went to the white board and drew a diagram. He told me exactly what I was struggling with and pointed out calcified flaws. Instead of immediately recommending a course to me, he started coaching me. “The best language school,” he said, “is understanding how you learn best.” I received tips to improve my accent and to fix some of those calcified mistakes. No, I was not to be sent to a basic class, I was going to be integrated into a challenging classcombined with a few one-to-one lessons to fix the flaws.

My Learning Journey

And so, I started my journey. I came to school everyday because I did not want to miss out. Hot topics were open to discussion in class. Our teacher, a woman with an engrossing presence and fascinating knowledge, made us speak. Not to mention  I learned so much more. We played games and had fun. Sometimes, the director played his guitar to all the students during their break. Some sang along, some danced along. The weekly breakfast brought us together and I met very interesting people, some of whom are now still my friends. What a funky language school, I thought.

Today, I can speak German. Good enough to speak to my lawyer, for example! I still visit DAS Akademie because I miss the funky atmosphere so much. They still offer me a coffee and the director still plays the guitar:

“Well, it’s one for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready
Now go, cat, go”

Now that’s a different kind of Berlin language school for you.
