What’s the best way to get your German students talking? A school trip to Germany, of course!

A German Language trip is the perfect way to encourage your students to develop a passion for the language. They will love using German to explore the country and learn about its culture and history. And, of course, by doing so, they are certain to improve both their language skills and their confidence.

All of our trips are completely tailor-made to suit your specific requirements and learning objectives but do tend to fall into one of two categories – Language Culture Tours or Language Study Tours.

Popular Destinations For German trips

Language Culture Tours

Our Language Culture Tours combine cultural activities and sightseeing, providing an unforgettable introduction to Germany.

On one of these trips, your students will have plenty of opportunities to practise speaking German with native speakers on an everyday basis. They’ll also have the unforgettable experience of using their language skills to explore the local culture.

Your students will remember these experiences for the rest of their lives. It could even be the start of a lifelong passion for Germany and its language and culture, or even languages in general.

These experiences will also greatly improve their confidence in their language skills. Using German and being understood by native speakers will encourage them in their studies and help them to realise just how advantageous speaking another language can be.

We offer Language Culture Tours in a great variety of destinations around Germany. You could choose to visit a buzzing, dynamic city, like Berlin, Munich or Cologne, or you could choose a quieter destination such as the Rhineland or the Black Forest, where your students can experience a more ‘traditional’ setting.

Language Study Tours

Our Language Study Tours also include cultural activities but with additional German lessons at a specialist language school. These tours are most popular with groups preparing for exams, but they’re also a great option for any group who wants to spend some of their time in Germany improving their level.

If you do choose to add language lessons, you’ll be able to discuss these with the fully-qualified, native German-speaking teacher ahead of your trip, to ensure your students make as much progress as possible.

We offer this type of trip in the exciting cities of Berlin and Cologne, where your students will have plenty of fantastic opportunities to put what they’ve learnt into practice during cultural activities and sightseeing tours.

Why arrange a language-focused trip?

Get them talking

We were founded by a former MFL teacher and many of us are linguists, so we know that the best way to improve your students' abilities is by immersing them in German and encouraging them to talk to native speakers on an everyday basis!

We’ll work closely with you to design a trip that’s right for you and your students and, most importantly, gets them speaking German.

Experience new cultures

Your students will love the experience of using their language skills to explore the local culture and it will really boost their confidence when they can make themselves understood by native speakers. Plus, this experience of being in Germany and using German will show them how a foreign language allows them to really experience and understand the local culture.

We offer a fantastic choice of destinations. Berlin is always hugely popular, and Munich too offers all the cultural attractions you would expect from a major city. Both cities also have some great history-themed visits if you would like your trip to offer cross-curricular value.

We also offer quieter destinations, such as the Black Forest and the Rhineland, which both offer truly ‘authentic’ German experiences. Here, your students will experience more of the ‘traditional’ Germany, and they’ll find the pace of life is a little calmer too!

Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you’re struggling to decide on a destination. Our experienced Travel Advisers know Germany extremely well and will be very pleased to provide you with any further information or advice you require.

Enjoy the trip as much as your students

We’ll be with you every step of the way, from now until you return home at the end of your trip. While abroad, you’ll be able to reach us with just one phone call, at any time of the day or night. And, with this comprehensive level of support while you’re away, you’ll be able to relax and enjoy the experience as much as your students.
