German at the Viadrina

Welcome!

Living and studying in Germany without understanding or speaking German? Not a great idea, is it? With us, you'll learn the language from scratch - from A1. And if you want to make it all the way to the top, then you've come to the right place, because we cover all levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

Learning German at the Viadrina Language Centre isn’t just about language, but also about culture, history and everyday life in Germany, especially in Brandenburg and Berlin. With us, you learn while studying with fun and passion!

Our recommendations

My favourite comedian in German is Loriot! Through him you really get to know and love German humour. Just search for "Loriot" on YouTube and start laughing.

The Museum of Communication in Berlin has great exhibitions that you can visit online: for example, there is an exhibition about arguing or about why we don't put into effect what we know about the climate. To visit the online exhibitions, just Google "MFK Berlin".

"Deutschlandfunk Hörsaal" is my go-to radio programme. It has current themes from academia and research. There are so many topics and you can pick the one that interests you the most. You can find "Deutschland Hörsaal" wherever there are podcasts.
