My German course in Munich – it was seriously amazing experience! If you’re thinking about learning German, especially in an immersive way, you have to check out Munich.
From day one, it felt less like “studying” and more like just… living in German. My course was super immersive, which meant we were speaking German from the minute we walked in. It wasn’t just drilling grammar (though we did that too, don’t worry!), but a lot of talking, role-playing, and actually using the language in real scenarios. The teachers were fantastic, really patient and fun, and they always encouraged us to just go for it, even if we messed up.
And being in Munich? Total game-changer. The city is just so cool, with its mix of traditional Bavarian stuff and a modern vibe. After classes, you’re literally surrounded by German speakers everywhere – in the bakeries, at the markets, in the parks. It’s like your brain is always in “German mode,” and you pick up so much without even trying. I was grabbing coffee and ordering Brezeln in German, asking for directions, and just listening to conversations around me. It really sped up my learning way more than I ever expected.
Plus, the social side was awesome. I met so many cool people from all over the world who were also there to learn German. My school organized some fun activities too, like museum visits or beer garden outings (obviously, had to do that in Munich!), which were perfect for practicing German in a relaxed setting and making new friends.
Honestly, if you want to really kickstart your German and have an unforgettable experience, an immersive course in Munich is it. I came back feeling so much more confident and excited about speaking German. Highly, highly recommend!
Accommodation
Now, let’s talk about where to crash, because that’s super important, right? My school actually hooked me up with a few options, which was a lifesaver. I ended up staying with a host family, and seriously, if you want full immersion, this is it! It was a single room, super comfy, and I got breakfast and dinner with them. It was awesome to practice German over meals and just see how a German family lives. For that, you’re looking at about €360-€460 a week for a single room with breakfast or half board – totally worth it for the extra practice!
Some of my classmates went for shared student apartments, which were also pretty cool if you want more independence. They usually have single rooms, a shared kitchen and bathroom, and you’re self-catering. Prices for those seem to hover around €360 a week for a single room – a bit more freedom, you know? A few even went for private studio apartments for ultimate privacy, which were a bit pricier, like €470 a week, but you get your own little spot with a kitchen and bathroom.
