The other course participants usually have similar needs and goals to you. And our German teachers will tailor their lessons accordingly. A relaxed atmosphere also contributes to successful language learning. Friendships and fond memories are often formed in the pleasant atmosphere of our German courses.
With fun to success!
Learning German in our language courses at the DeutschAkademie is simply fun. Why is that? The learning atmosphere is open, friendly and relaxed. And in class, our German teachers don't present the content in frontal lessons, but instead pack the topics into role plays. Listening, speaking, reading and writing: everything is learnt interactively.
Having fun while learning is very important to us. Also because success is then much easier to achieve. You will be surprised how quickly your language skills develop in our German courses.
Central location Learn German in the centre of Cologne
The DeutschAdademie welcomes you right in the centre, on Hohenzollernring in the Belgian Quarter, one of the hippest "Veedeln" in Cologne. Whether it's a coffee break at Brüsseler Platz, a stroll in the city garden or an end to the day in one of the numerous bars - with us you will learn German and get to know the vibrant city life in Cologne at the same time.
The Rhine is not far away either. From the windows of our rooms you have a fantastic view of Cologne Cathedral.
Discover Cologne after your German course
Cologne is one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in Germany. It is rich in museums and churches, above all Cologne Cathedral, the city's landmark.
But there is also a lot to discover in the old town with its masks of shame and the Rhine, where you can relax with a Kölsch after a successful day at the language school. The city is also characterised by modern street art, for example the biennial urban arts festival CityLeaks, which invites international artists every two years.
