German language courses in MUNICH
Munich is ideal for German language students who love art and culture: the state opera house, the theater and the museums (the old and the new Pinakothek, Haus der Kunst) are all internationally famous. Great premieres, modern exhibitions, important opening days and prominent guest performances are some of the cultural events of the Bavarian capital, the second largest city in the Federal Republic. Munich is described as a city overflowing with "joie de vivre," and with good reason. Hustle and bustle in the artists' quarter of Schwabing, idyllic beer gardens, relaxation in the English gardens, the world's largest expanse of parkland within a city and the beautiful castles, mountains and lakes within close proximity of the city all make for a lively stay. Learn German in a culturally stimulating city.
