Berlitz Vienna Mariahilf

The Berlitz centre in Vienna’s Mariahilf district is on Mariahilferstraße, a busy shopping street in the sixth district. The school offers German for people moving to Austria, learners already living in Vienna and students who want to improve the language they use at work. The physical centre gives learners an alternative to the group’s online teaching.

Spoken German for everyday and professional use

The Berlitz approach gives prominence to listening and responding in German during lessons. Students can compare the social practice of a group with individual teaching organised around their particular aims. For someone using German in an office, that might mean answering a follow-up question without rehearsing it first. Someone new to the city may initially be more interested in appointments, transport or explaining a problem in a shop.

The centre describes options around weekday and evening availability. When planning regular travel to Mariahilf, it is worth distinguishing the opening hours of the building from the meeting times of the group at the appropriate level. Learners with an irregular schedule can ask about individual arrangements, while those aiming for sustained conversation with several speakers may prefer to keep a fixed place in a class.
