Landeskunde
Hello Germany! In this seven-day introduction we will take you on a journey – not only for the first steps of learning German to guide you through every day life, but we will also get to know the new University, explore Frankfurt (Oder) and the region that is full of beautiful nature and traditions, the nearby capital Berlin and other places worth seeing while in Germany. On the way we will discover more about culture, history and today’s life in Germany. We will not only sit in class, but move around in Frankfurt and will take part in interactive activities and challenges to test our knowledge!
