Connect with people from all over the world and practice German
What social events does the language school organize?
A language course is always a great opportunity to meet and get to know other people who, like you, are new to the city. The goal of learning German is communication. You practice this best with other people. At the same time, it helps you to overcome the small and big problems of starting new in another country and to feel less lonely. Choose from these networking opportunities:
Deutsch-Café meet up
We usually meet in a café nearby to practice German in a relaxed atmosphere and get to know each other better. The event is suitable for all language levels. Students whose German is already more advanced help those who are just starting out. Feel free to bring your friends and acquaintances along.
The dates will be announced in good time. To receive the invitations, it’s best to subscribe to our newsletter or join the WhatsApp group.
International Picnic
In nice weather, we like to have a picnic in the nearby Burggarten. Everyone can bring a typical specialty from their country, whether it’s something homemade, a dessert, or a typical drink. They say: People come together over food. In fact, there’s hardly a better topic to start a conversation than food and drinks.
International Dinner
If the weather isn’t so good, we like to organize an International Dinner at the school. Here too, it’s about bringing typical dishes from your home country, trying them, eating and drinking together, laughing, sharing stories, getting to know each other, and of course, practicing German. Especially when eating together, you can forget the fear of speaking German. What’s important is not that you are perfect in speaking, but that you communicate, express yourself, and understand others.
Christmas Market and Christmas Party
At the end of the year, we like to meet once more before the Christmas holidays and enjoy some typical Christmas traditions: cookies, mulled wine, punch, tea, and of course, a Christmas tree is a must. We also sing a few songs with the guitar, such as "Oh Christmas Tree".
Our Christmas traditions also include a joint visit to a Christmas market nearby. Did you know that the pre-Christmas season in Vienna is considered one of the most beautiful times of the year, with the city festively decorated and locals meeting their friends at the numerous Christmas markets to find gifts, eat, drink, and enjoy a few lovely, relaxed hours? Try it out with us!
Special Events: Vernissage and Anniversary Celebration
In some months, you have the opportunity to participate in special events with us. For example, we organized an exhibition of the Iranian painter Maryam Mansouri and opened it with a vernissage featuring classical music. A highlight of the year 2024 was the celebration of our school’s 15th anniversary - with many prizes, a festive buffet, and again the opportunity for networking.

It depends on each person how quickly they learn a new language. People who speak a language related to German, such as English or Dutch, learn it faster than people who, for example, speak an Asian language. It also helps if you already know the rules of your own language well and perhaps have already learned other languages.
