of selection are very rigorous and each family must satisfy a
precise schedule of conditions: excellent morality, desire to

the immersion courses!

Courses
and company training (Internship).
It is possible to learn German and then
to have a training in a company ( Internship). For people aged 18 to
26.
The stay consists in 2 parts.
- On one hand a language course to reach a sufficient level (intermediate)
of 4 or 8 weeks duration.
4
weeks allow you to a non qualified job in hotel or restaurant.
8 weeks allow you to get a more
interesting job in a company.
The cities for the course are Berlin, Frankfort, Munich or Hamburg. Cities for
Internship are more numerous. Tell us the German city you would like
to go, same as courses, or another one.
For the language part you have all details above in this program (see
table for prices) and the different accommodation possibilities
- For the internship part, a unique 350 Euros for a non qualified work or
450 Euros for a qualified work will be asked.
Accommodation during working period will be in a family or, as many, a
room rented in the city. The period of Internship lasts between 2 and
6 months. During this period the trainee is not paid, but often the
company looks a small financial compensation if it's satisfied.
The minimum delay to make application for an Internship program is 3
months before the date of the training and not the course which
precedes. A CV in German will be required as well as 3 photos. For
certain qualified "jobs", an interview with the company will be
required and will take place during the period of language learning.

Town information

Berlin is a destination increasingly popular since its wall fell. Attractions which symbolize the reunification of Germany are numerous there, in particular;
Alexanderplatz, Tiergarten and the gate of Brandebourg, the castle of Charlotteburg, the museum of
Dahlem, the opera, theatres in particular that of Bertolt Brecht, the museum
of Pergame, the national gallery and the museum of Berlin.The large avenue of Ku' damm and its shops, the avenue
Unter den Linden, the Sainte-Edwidge cathedral and the
Sainte-Marie church are also worth visiting. Berlin is, undoubtedly, one of the most fascinating towns
in Europe. In a way or another, everyone is taken by its
magic and its atmosphere full of life. There are few cities
in the world which can join together the old so well with
the new, the modern and the traditional. Testimonies of the pass and the present that Berlin offers
to its visitors, are inexhaustible. Broad alleys, splendid parks, castles imposing baroques and statues equestrian
constitute an incomparable spectacle and testify that formerly, the city was the residence of the Prussian
kings and later of the German emperors.
Nowadays the town of 4 million inhabitants with its
boulevards without end, is one of the most visited
European city. There is nobody who has never read
or heard the name Kürfurstendamm which is in the
Western part of town; it is an exclusive commercial boulevard with the style of the Thirties and fifties, the street Unter den Linden which is in the East represents the center itself and of origin of the town
of Berlin. We find there an imposing architecture
such as for example the traditional gate of Brandebourg
or Neue Wache.It is worth to devote time here, there is really a lot of
things interesting to see, the markets, the museums
and innumerable coffee shops on the terrace where
it is not rare to hear folk music. In addition, there is
hardly another city in the world in which one finds all in double. Universities, operas of states or national
galleries, zoological gardens and much of other public
institutions exist in double because of the separation
which lasted 28 years in the 2 halves of the city.
Apart from the imposing monuments and its rich water and forests, Berlin offers an atmosphere of large city with a beneficial relaxation. In this way, a very particular attraction is the famous tours in steamboats on the Spree, the artery of Berlin, or the
excursions in the picturesque forest area of the lakes
Wannsee or Müggelsee. Many small restaurants and bars in Berlin
invite you to make knowledge with the Berliner kitchen; knuckle of ham, thick
soup of vegetable and meat, sausage with curry, beer and the Berliner fritters
(thickets with jams) are the specialties of the city. The small restaurants of
Berlin are thus a good occasion to make the experiment of a good meal.
