Munich (Munchen)

Dates: All year round

Description: Language training means more than the successful communication of knowledge in the classroom, it also represents an authentic encounter with Germany, its people and its culture. We, a group of teachers of German as a foreign language, have been concerned for years with exploring the diverse possibilities of modern teaching methods. Our language school has been in operation since 1988; we offer German language for foreign students, as well as foreign languages for German. Our goal is to work effectively and on a more personal level with our students. Teamwork and close supervision of the course members are also very important to us. Fortunately, the small size and the familiar atmosphere of our school permit us to achieve that. Interest in the German language and culture has always been great and continues to grow, encouraged not only by tourism, but also by business and commerce interests. Our wide variety of programmes and years of experience in the field enable us to successfully meet the needs and demands of an overgrowing clientele. Our courses offer the student a wide variety of options that range from intensive and superintensive group courses to evening classes and personally-tailored individual and minigroup courses.

In TANDEM Munchen you will find a modern and international centre for culture and schooling where successful learning is enjoyable and satisfying.

Highlights: "Muenchen leuchtet" - "Munich shines" - and how!
So said Thomas Mann, way back in 1902 and his words still hold true today. This beautiful old city is a media, arts and cultural metropolis, the capital of Bavaria, home of Princes and Kings for centuries and, to top it all, Germany's economic center for technology. The so called 'Silicon Valley' of Europe!

Munich by Numbers
With close to 1.3 million inhabitants, this 850 year old historical center is Germany's third largest city.
