German courses in Salzburg, Austria

Our school of German in Salzburg (Austria) was established in 1990 in the historical city center of the World Heritage city of Salzburg.

All teachers are native speakers. Our teaching method guarantees rapid acquisition of German language without tiresome vocabulary drills; right from the start you speak only the new language. This is the best and most efficient way to learn to speak a foreign language fluently in a short time.

The oral lessons are backed up by authentic materials (books, videos, cassettes, CDs) developed and continuously updated by our German language school in Salzburg.

Located in the heart of Europe and easily accessible by all means of transport, Salzburg offers a diversity equalled by very few other cities in the world.

Known around the world as a center of art and culture, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's native city has much more to offer than just the summer and Easter festival, Whitsun concerts, theater productions and museum exhibitions.

Whether you are an art connoisseur or a gourmet, music lover or a holiday-maker looking for rest and relaxation, a daydreamer or a night owl, you will simply love Salzburg, the city of variety. You can stroll leisurely through the narrow streets and alleys of this baroque city. Countless stores invite you to do some shopping, and from the terraces of the world-famous coffee houses you can enjoy the view of beautiful architecture in the well-preserved, historical city center and take a break from sightseeing with a delicious piece of cake.

Why not visit the largest, completely preserved fortress in central Europe, or Hellbrunn Palace with its rambling public gardens and the world famous fountains? Or maybe the romantic Mirabell Gardens with their wonderful view of the Hohensalzburg fortress, or Mozart's birthplace in the Getreidegasse …?
 

Salzburg also has a lot to offer to nature lovers, or those looking for the chance to relax and play sports. Just beyond the city gates one of the most beautiful natural landscapes of Central Europe unfolds before your very eyes. The Alps are only a few kilometers away from Salzburg ; there you have ideal conditions for hiking, mountain climbing and skiing. Numerous lakes (many of which are of drinking quality) like the Wolfgangsee, Fuschlsee or Mattsee are great places to cool off in the summer, either with swimming, sailing or windsurfing.
