By taking part in a summer course, you will spend a few weeks as a guest in Germany. This will give you a first impression of the country and its people, and you will be able to try out whether you like Germany. You can find a large number of courses in the DAAD Database for Summer Courses.

From my personal experience

The German summer course in Berlin was the right decision

"Everything I knew about Germany and German culture I’d read in books or heard from my teachers. I was determined to change that. That’s why I applied for the German summer course in Berlin. It was the right decision. Besides the language instruction there is a varied programme of excursions, workshops about Berlin, parties, and trips to the theatre and cinema. That way you get to know the country and people very quickly."

Daniel Simorangkir, student of German from Indonesia; participant of the “International Summer University Language Course: German in Berlin” at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin
