German Language Courses
Learning German is essential to help you integrate into society. Furthermore, having the skills to communicate in German will help you pursue internships or job opportunities in Germany after you graduate. We therefore highly encourage you to learn at least basic German once you arrive in Aachen, or even start back home before your departure.
Learn the lingo from home!
To prepare for your new life in Germany, we would encourage you to start learning German from home. How about a German word for the day, listening to a podcast during your daily commute, or even watching a German soap opera? These little steps will help build up your knowledge of the language of the land of poets and thinkers!
