Course description

Living & Learning German at teacher´s house

The Full immersion program is the program involving you totally in the language environment, so you are not only learning German language during lessons, but also apart from the classes. The private atmosphere encourages you unconsciously to speak German free without any inhibitions. The teacher will instruct you not only during the lessons but all the time. In this program you gets rid of daily travelling to and from school and of contact with any students speaking your mother language.

This is the best opportunity for one´s experience, living with and being taught by the private teacher. In some cases, you can be placed in a German family and a teacher comes daily to you for giving lessons. The advantage of such program is - listening German speech from the different parts. This supports your listening comprehension.

After the classes the learning process goes on, as you participate in the family's daily and social activities, taking part in the life of a typical German family as any family member. This way you learn the mentality of the culture, what gives you the opportunity to get the feeling for the language in its natural environment, so you 'live the language'.

All homes and teachers have been carefully selected. Verbum Novum tries to look for the perfect family to match your interests and age. All teachers have either a teaching certificate or a university degree (or an accepted equivalent). This program is avalable for students without any age restrictions and can be started on any convenient day.
