Is the Freie Universitat Berlin actually free? If so, how do I learn more about their German language classes?

Hi! hey, your address is wrong, when you go there, there is a mistake....I´ve looked around and you have to look here:\nhttp://www.sprachenzentrum.fu-berlin.de/sprachbereiche/bereiche_de/daf_de.php\nThen, there is specified that once you are there you have to make an einstufungstest or a test that proofs in which level are you and then you get the course level that you need. here is not specified what levels do they have but i can imagine they have from A1 to C1. If you are going on a program then you can do that.\nIf you are planning to register with out the support of an international program, then you have to make te DSH test. Which is a German for University level that you have to pass in order to study in ANY university in Germany. For this you need a level B2 or C1, it is a very complicated exam. \nAnd another thing. The Berlin University is Free because it is free to teach what they think it is right. I mean the Freie thing has nothing to do with gratuity, but with liberty. \nI am not sure if this University is free anymore because there are some changes in this context all around Germany. And it depends on what party governs... probably for the next semester it is "free" but next year not anymore. And it is not fully free..you have to pay hat is called "sozialbeitrag" aprox. 125 euros each semester (even if the Uni is free).\n\nYou should call or write here:\nSprachenzentrum\n(ZE Sprachlabor) \nBereich Deutsch als Fremdsprache\nHabelschwerdter Allee 45 \n14195 Berlin \nKL 25 301- KL 25 306 \n(2.

Check with your local University and see if they have any exchange programs going on or study abroad programs.  I lived in Germany for 12 years and I sponsored an exchange student.  Good luck!

There exists online a plethera of sources to help you on such an endevour.\nMy personal favorite sites are:\n\nDeutsche Welle (German World) - www.dw-world.de\n\nGoethe Institut - http://www.goethe.de/enindex.htm\n\nExplore both sites, they contain materials for letting one become accustomed to the language.  Particularly on Deutsche Welle, look for 'German Courses' on the left margin.  It holds a link with news reports and other media which are spoken in slow, clear, enunciated German, perfect for a beginner.\n\nAs far as the Grammer, I would suggest buying a book or two; or if you have any friends who know german, ask them.

First of all, fix your grammar and mechanics in English.\n\nSecondly, this belongs in "higher education" not "special education" for its category.\n\nThen, browse nearby univeristies for German language departments (not just classes, but full department status). Enroll, get your degree, and have your advisor and career center at the university help you get hired.

G'day Dave,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nYou might want to look at enrolling in adult education classes for the languages.\n\nHowever, the BBC offers good language resources in both German and Spanish.\n\nI attach sources for your reference.\n\nRegards

I second the notion about Rosetta Stone from Transparent language (but its expensive)\ngerman.about.com has some beginning German lessons\nlook for AATG (AATG.org), the website of the American Association of Teachers of German; they have links.\nTry Goethe.de (look for the translation link to get it in English.)  There will be some materials, but more advanced.\nThere is a website somewhere that lists German teachers in the US and if they tutor or give private lessons.\nYou might see if there is a German-America Klub of some sort in your area as well; they generally hold beginners classes or would know where some are.\nViel Glück!

I have stayed last Xmas two weeks there. I liked it a lot, wish to go again there. A lot of people speak English and German so you should have no problem, I didn't. Is is relatively cheap. For places to have fun there are a lot but you have to find them for yourself (this ca get very exciting actually)

German university websites have english pages for applicants. They explain the full process. You might have to contact the university to check if your degree is compatible, it (the paper) might need to be translated. No worry, the secretary office will answer emails in english.\nExample:\nhttp://www.lmu.de/conman/index.cfm?path=235 (University in Munich)\nhttp://www.fu-berlin.de/en/studienbewerber/index.html (University in Berlin)

in the US there are companies that have tutors for hire, i was considering buying a franchise at one point but my territory had been taken, why don;t you investigate those opportunities in Germany

some libraries have classes that you can take for free or at a minimal cost. Check the french society in your area, too. Sometimes as a PR thing, they have french classes at a minimal cost.

Any language? Most schools will be quiet expensive, but some are affordable depending on the number of hours per week you want to study. You could try signing up with an Au Pair agency, that way you get paid while you learn a new language, however some agencies require that you be already fluent in the language of your destination. For France, contact the Fench Alliance in your area and they should be able to point you in the right direction. For Germany, try the German Consulate or Goethes Institute in your area. They offer affordable programs in Germany. Also, main cities such as Paris, Madrid, Rome and Munich will be more expensive than other low key cities. Keep that in mind.
