Learn German before entering the country

Depending on your level of knowledge, it is best to start learning German before you enter the country. The Goethe Institutes, for example, offer high-quality German courses worldwide. There are numerous free language learning offers on the Internet, for example from Deutsche Welle. You will probably learn the most in Germany itself. Here you will have plenty of practice and be surrounded by the language in everyday life.

Learning German in the TRK

There are numerous language schools in the Karlsruhe TechnologyRegion that offer German courses at all levels and with various specializations. Very affordable courses are available at adult education centers throughout the region.

To make it easier for you to find a suitable language school, take a look at the list of language course providers at TRK that we have compiled for you at the bottom of this page.

There are also many other ways to improve your German. A great way to practise in Germany in contact with native speakers is to take advantage of offers such as language cafés or tandem partners.

Tip!

Look at your university or student union for notices or internet advertisements for reciprocal language exchanges where you can share your language skills with tandem partners and learn German in return.

Integration courses

Wenn Sie aus dem Ausland kommen, haben Sie die Chance, sich durch einen subventionierten Integrationskurs in Deutschland sprachlich und kulturell zu integrieren. 

As a citizen of the European Union interested in an integration course to improve your German language skills, you have the opportunity to apply for participation at the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF). Please note that your participation depends on the availability of free course places, as EU citizens are not legally entitled to a place on these courses.
