TANDEM Munich

TANDEM Munich is on Kurfürstenplatz in Schwabing. Tram services stop directly at the square, while Hohenzollernplatz offers a nearby underground connection. For a learner staying elsewhere in Munich, this makes it possible to compare a direct tram journey with the walk from the underground. The school combines formal German lessons with opportunities to use the language outside the classroom through activities and a language partnership.

Planning an intensive week

The intensive course is built around teaching units of forty-five minutes. TANDEM lists options with sixteen, eighteen or twenty units, including optional Friday modules. The distribution of mornings and afternoons can change between groups or months. Someone coordinating a class with part-time work should ask for their actual group timetable before assuming every lesson takes place in the morning.

One distinctive option is a TANDEM language partnership, in which learners practise with a local partner. The school also describes guided excursions and a leisure programme, with a different activity pattern for regular and summer courses. These opportunities suit students who want a reason to speak German between lessons. For those staying longer in Munich and looking for fewer daytime commitments, the school separately lists evening German courses.
