“The city of Düsseldorf is very beautiful …”, said the poet Heinrich Heine, after whom both the university and the our language school are named.
Today this remark holds true more than ever, because Düsseldorf is loveable and livable, multicultural, tolerant and cosmopolitan. People from over 180 nations live here.
√Language lessons are delivered by qualified and experienced teachers who possess both the necessary academic degree and an additional certified qualification in “German as a Foreign Language”. All teachers are native speakers of German. We place great importance on intercultural and communicative lessons. How else can you learn German as fast as possible?
√Our language school is located within easy walking distance to Heinrich Heine University.
√We are a language school with a high quality standard and an open and friendly atmosphere. People from different countries and cultures come together to learn German, communicate and make friends.
Who we are...
Heine Deutsch-Institut
For over twenty seven years, we have enabled international cultural exchange to take place, promoted access to the German language, German universities and supported the unimpeded development of culture and science. All our teachers have at least 8 years of experience. We do not hire beginner teachers.
What we stand for...
Sprache. HOCHSCHULBILDUNG. Deutschland.
We promote cultural exchange, education and social discourse. We support the teaching and learning of the German language and provide information worldwide about the cultural and educational diversity of Germany.
The following four goals represent the entire range of our work and serve as a strategic basis for the development of our programmes and projects around the world.
√15 universities as well as internationally renowned research institutions and companies
√The Rhine river with its promenade and beaches directly in the city and the Old Town with its quiet little streets and the longest bar in the world
√Art and culture: large and small museums and numerous galleries, large and small theaters, the Opera on the Rhine and the Tonhalle symphony hall, Schumann, Kraftwerk, Die Toten Hosen and much more... The Alt beer (of course!).
√Fashion and shopping: Kö, Kö-Bogen, Schadowstraße and all the trendy districts – with unusual shops and numerous pubs and restaurants. Karneval, the “fifth” season of the year with Rosenmontag [Rose Monday] procession as the highlight, the largest fair on the Rhine in July and the Christmas markets in December.
√An easily accessible airport, Cologne, Bonn, Aachen and many other cities are “just around the corner”. The Media Harbor with extraordinary architecture, e.g. the Gehry buildings.
And what makes the state capital of Nordrhein-Westfalen Düsseldorf so loveable and worth living in?
WHAT WILL I GET OUT OF YOUR GERMAN COURSE?
- We actively train your language skills (listening, reading comprehension, speaking and writing). In addition, a great deal of attention is paid to the active mastery of grammar. The teachers work according to our methodology. This means that our German courses, depending on the level and topic, use a combination of different textbooks and materials in order to best convey the learning material to the students and close individual gaps in their knowledge. We cooperate with all leading German textbook publishers. Klett-Sprachen, Schubert, Hueber and others. The Heine-Institut provides its students with all course materials and books required for the course free of charge. The curricula of our school are fully compliant with the GER (General European Framework of Reference for Languages) and are based on many years of teaching experience.
- Because our lessons are action-oriented, course participants have the opportunity to apply and practice the material taught orally and in writing. A variety of social forms such as partner work, role plays or presentations provide a relaxed and positive learning atmosphere in the classroom. Through cooperative learning and working methods, the participants in our courses are activated and their speaking rate in class is higher than in any other German school. Thus, they transfer the lesson content into their vocabulary through active application in the classroom and improve their active knowledge of German step by step.
- Certificates and exams. Upon successful completion of the course, all course participants receive a Heine certificate indicating the number of hours completed and the level achieved. Listening and reading comprehension, speaking, writing and grammar are assessed. Heine-Institut intensive courses are well suited for preparing for officially recognized exams such as Goethe, telc Deutsch and TestDaF. All of our students pass all exams after taking our German course. This is true.
...If you need a particularly intensive German course. If you have special requirements for your German course. If you are disappointed with other German language schools.If you no longer like your tutor. Welcome. Our intensive courses are the right choice for you. Before the course starts, we will discuss everything you are concerned about with you. Your teacher will adapt the lesson content during the course according to your wishes.
...The course content is based on the needs of the participants and can deal with general or specific topics such as: business German, intensive exam preparation or a focus on individual skills. We pay particularly intensive attention to the oral expression of the students.
...Through many hours of lessons, our students are immersed in the German language. This immersion allows for further practical application of what has been learned in class and contributes greatly to their learning success.
