A course that builds on the standard course and extends it: the school presents it as its most popular option for quick results. Everyone speaks up, exchanges with the other participants, discusses and gives their opinion.

The programme draws on current affairs (politics, culture, economics) to improve communication, while consolidating and widening what has already been learned. For those who want to move faster without going at the maximum pace.

The step beyond the intensive course, designed for especially ambitious learners. Lessons are taken in very small groups of four to five participants, and the programme is built around each person's wishes and needs.

Teachers build the content together with the participants, for example around specialised vocabulary, and target weak points. It suits precise projects as well as people with busy schedules who want to make the most of their time.

I had a very positive experience studying at this language school in Frankfurt am Main.
One of the biggest advantages is its excellent location, just a short walk from the Frankfurt main train station and Münchener Straße, which makes it very convenient to reach.
The classroom are generally comfortable, and the learning environment is welcoming and supportive.

What impressed me the most were the teachers.
“Tanja von Wener” has a remarkable ability to explain important topics in a clear, engaging and structured way. Her lessons are always interesting, and she consistently highlights key points that are particularly important for assignments, German exams and overall language development. I especially enjoyed learning how to analyse and present graphics and charts in her classes.

“Daniela Roth“ also played an important role in my progress. Through regular writing exercises on current and relevant topics, she encouraged us to actively use newly learned vocabulary and express our ideas more confidently. Her detailed feedback helped me identify my weaknesses, improve my writing skills and gain confidence in using German. She is enthusiastic, approachable and genuinely cares about her students & students’ success.
Thank you very much indeed!

I also appreciated the opportunity to learn how presentations and written assignments are assessed in Germany, which gave me valuable insights into the German education system.

Overall, I learned a great deal during my time at Did Deutsch-Institut Frankfurt and would highly recommend this school to my friends which would love to learn German language and also to everyone looking for a supportive learning environment with dedicated teachers.

★★★★ 4 / 5

I had studied at did deutsch-Institut Frankfurt for 8 weeks as a B1 learner and I could say the school is totally perfect for me. I learned so much not only about the language, but I also met so many amazing people, very supportive teachers, and good friends.

Positive feedback:
1. The staff and teachers are very friendly and always supportive. The teachers usually cheer up learners to speak in German and not in a forceful way.
2. The lessons and activities aligned with my interests and standards. Moreover, the activities or homework/assignments is voluntarily, allowing learners to adjust work-life balance and helping them to learn on their own pace.
3. The numbers of learners is just perfect for group activities/pair work. However, it would also be great if the teachers randomly group/pair learners with someone they have never worked with.

The only area for improvement from me is the toilet atmosphere. Sometimes, there is some unpleasant odor in a male toilet. And there are many times people do not flush the toilet properly (maybe because the flushing tab is quite not user-friendly)

Overall, I will surely recommend the school for someone who likes easy-going atmosphere and not compulsive learning style (but you better adjust your study plan well and be consistent💪).

I am looking forward to coming back to the school to continue my learning soon!!!

DID Deutsch-Institut in Frankfurt is one of the top German language schools. Located in the heart of Frankfurt, the school is exclusively focused on German and has courses for all levels of students. The teachers are highly experienced and focus on practical, real-life German communication, making the classes engaging and effective. The staff are also very friendly and helpful. The students come from all over the world and from many backgrounds and age groups. If you need intensive German instruction and want live interaction rather than on-line lessons, DID is an excellent choice.

After sending our daughters to the DIT camp for five years, last year we had a very negative experience.

Our 13-year-old daughter faced a difficult situation and was left almost alone to deal with it. The staff showed little empathy and we had to try to solve the problem ourselves from Spain.

We also paid for extra classes that turned out to have a very low level, and the camp refused to refund them when we asked our daughter not to continue.

In our experience, the camp works only as long as nothing goes wrong. If a problem arises, do not expect the support you would hope for when your child is abroad.

A couple years ago I enrolled in a summer language camp at DID in Vienna and it happened to be my first ever international learning experience. This was one of the most memorable summers I’ve ever had! I had an amazing time there, made a lot of friends, learned a lot of new things and improved my German skills.
The teachers and general staff were very helpful and patient, and always made sure we were safe and comfortable. The lessons were organised and engaging, and the teachers made the whole learning experience seem easy and fun. I would definitely highly recommend it to everyone!
