The course build on the 4 fundamentals: listening, writing, reading and speaking.

APARTMENTS @ GLS CAMPUS BERLIN
The 50 studio-apartments are in 2 buildings facing the garden just behind the language school: With sizes varying between 23 und 38 m², every studio has its own unique style. There are 2 categories: standard (Hotel 1) and superior (Hotel 2). All standard studios are mini-lofts, i.e. the sleeping area is on a higher level - the ceilings are 4.80 m high.
All studios are fully equipped mini-appartments and students can book single, double or shared double:
kitchen, own WC and shower (bathtub in superior studios), free WLAN for laptop, telephone and TV, linen & towels
APARTMENTS @ BRANDENBURGER TOR
GLS operates 20 apartments @ Brandenburg Gate, each apartment with 2 or 3 bedrooms - bookable as single or shared double. Thus 2 to 5 GLS students live together in one apartment, sharing bath and kitchen.
FLAT SHARE WITH BERLINERS
Students share an apartment with Berliners: ideal if they´d like to train their German. There will always be one or more German people in the apartment - they can be students, taxi drivers or artists, of all ages and all social strata. More often than not (but not always) students will be the only international roommate in the flat.
HOST FAMILY IN BERLIN
Basically "host family" means that somebody will be there for students and serve breakfast as well as dinner. It does not necessarily mean, that students will be staying with a traditional family: The hosts can be couples (married or not) as well as singles, with or without kids. Relevant is that they are friendly and open, that they are willing to spend time with students. All hosts have been inspected, and many have been hosting our students for several years.
Surrounding Area

Some of the main Berlin highlights are within walking distance from GLS: Museumsinsel: 1.5 km, Hackescher Markt: 1 km, Jüdisches Museum: 1.5 km, Reichstag: 2 km, Brandenburg Gate: 2.5 km
