Why choose a German Course at TREFFPUNKT?
Not because we want hundreds of students in our school!
TREFFPUNKT is a small school, and we like it that way.
If you're the kind of adult learner who wants the quality of a small, professional school offering a motivating environment in an attractive location, then you're the kind of person we enjoy having in our school.
Being a small school is important to us. It means that we really treat you as an individual, and not only during class. Outside of school we offer many group activities — discussions, sports and culture.
Three excellent reasons to study with us:
-
Study German at one of Germany's leading schools specializing in "German as a foreign language" for adults — Experience the highest teaching standards.
Since 1995, TREFFPUNKT Bamberg has been welcoming students from around the world to Bamberg. Throughout that time we have developed a varied programme of courses. All our teachers are highly qualified and experienced in adult learning. They are chosen for their excellent ability, knowledge and their open and friendly approach. Many of them are in constant contact with the German department of Linguistics and Literature at the University of Bamberg, which is one of the few universities, where "German as a foreign language" is taught. They not only teach using modern methods, but also understand your language problems and can help you overcome them. You will be taught by at least two different teachers in one course, giving you the advantage of their different styles, personalities and methods.

Individual service — personalized attention at all times
We take care of your every need, right from the first contact and beyond, to ensure that your course is everything you would expect from TREFFPUNKT Bamberg. We focus on adult learners and take into account the fact that adult learners' goals and issues are quite different from those found in youth education. Our Principal Kristina Schimmeyer and her team will always have time for you and your needs.

Enjoy outstanding social and cultural activities with the TREFFPUNKT community
What will your German course in Germany be worth if you don't practise German with the Germans? We design our social and cultural activities in a way to offer you many opportunities to practise your German. There are at least three leisure activities every week. Our students' favourite is our regular Thursday night gathering called "Stammtisch".

Choose the most effective way to learn German: Work in small groups and/or one-to-one.
Your German will improve rapidly on the TREFFPUNKT programme. This is a promise. We arrange small, mixed, multinational classes. Except at the most elementary level, when a little of the student's mother tongue may be used, otherwise all teaching is conducted entirely in German. So even when you are learning about the language, you are using it.
