Learn German & live in your private teacher's home around Cologne with Home Language International!
Home Language International (HLI) is a family-run business offering language courses in more than 20 languages in over 30 countries worldwide, including German lessons at an experienced private teacher's home in Germany. More than 5,000 students take advantage of our services every year. Ian Josephs, Danielle Josephs, their 5 adult children and an expert team of dedicated staff all put in very long hours for HLI.
You stay in an experienced teacher's family home, have one-to-one German lessons and then continue to use the language during the rest of your stay in Cologne. Because you are the only student, you are guaranteed individual attention. The lessons are completely designed for you, so the teacher will focus exactly on what you need. Mealtime conversation, television and social contacts are all in German.
All of our teachers in Germany have a university degree (or equivalent) and/or a recognised teaching certificate. All teachers have been visited by one of our local organisers. Their qualifications have been checked and their homes throughly inspected. During your stay in Cologne, a local organiser will monitor your progress and make sure your experience is both happy and successful.
Home Language International (HLI) is accredited by the Accreditation Body for Language Services (ABLS), Association of Language Travel Organisations (ALTO), and UNOSEL.

私は 1 週間の半集中学習に登録しましたが、私のレベルやニーズを判断するための面接は行われませんでした。私はほぼ適切なレベルであるはずのクラスに入れられましたが、他の生徒は明らかにこのレベルではありませんでした。他の生徒たちも全員集中授業に登録していたので、私にも彼らと同じ宿題が与えられました。しかし、私は準集中授業しか受けていなかったため、1時間早くクラスを終えました。私はこの集中と準集中の組み合わせを練習しましたが、うまくいきませんでした。... more
