German language courses in STUTTGART

Stuttgart, the capital of the state of Baden Wurttemberg and one of the most prosperous and export-oriented German states, Stuttgart is situated on the River Neckar. It is the cultural and administrative center of Southwest Germany. It takes only a morning's drive to reach Basel, Strasbourg or Munich. The famous University of Heidelberg is just 112 kilometers away and the Black Forest is very nearby. Less than a hundred kilometers from the French border and just over a 1000 kilometers from Switzerland, it can be reached easily from abroad. Stuttgart is surrounded by forests and vineyards, and a park forms the green heart of the city. In summer, you will appreciate the many outdoor public swimming pools, some of them fed from the many mineral springs in the area. It is surrounded by historically interesting towns and villages.

The Anglo-German Institute (AGI)

AGI is a well-known non-profit German language school, located right in the center of Stuttgart and founded in 1972. It began by teaching only English as a foreign language, but at the beginning of the 80's it began to offer German language courses for foreigners. The institute has a privileged location in the center of town, close to shops, restaurants, cafes and public transportation.  It is known for its unique relaxed and friendly atmosphere. This German school is characterized by small classes and friendly teachers who are always there to help the student. The school is equipped with audio-visual facilities, and a computer room with access to software designed to further develop the student's language skills.
