FAQs
Who will meet me at the airport in Munich?
A private driver of a company well known to ADK will be waiting for you at the airport, when you arrive,. They will be waiting right in front of your gate with a sign, to make sure that you find each other. To ensure your transfer, please let us know the exact date, time and flight number of your arrival at least 2 weeks before your arrival.
What time should I arrive?
Most students arrive on Sunday, if you are arriving on a Saturday, we will make a reservation for an extra day (€21). Please let us know in advance if you are planning to arrive earlier or later than Sunday.
Who can I talk to if I have a problem?
You´ll get an emergency mobile number with the confirmation of your booking, which you can use to call our staff any time. Your teachers and tutors will be available even after class or activities if you have any questions. And don't forget you can also ask your host family in Augsburg, if you need help with anything.
Can my parents come with me?
This is, of course, possible. If your parents want us to make a hotel reservation we offer this service free of charge.
Accommodation and meals
Can I choose my room or roommate?
You can choose to share a room with a friend. We usually try to mix nationalities in our accommodation, to make sure that you speak German as much as possible.
German food
Food may not be the same as you are used to at home: Southern Europeans for example are often surprised that Germans eat so much for breakfast or have diner so early. We hope you enjoy German food and try a lot of sausages, cheese and Bavarian dishes. If you need a special diet or do not eat meat please let us know in advance.
What rules do I need to be aware of?
- Alcohol and drugs are strictly prohibited. Students younger than 16 are not allowed to drink alcoholic beverages or smoke in public according to German law. Please respect that and don´t smoke in your bedrooms. If a student breaks the rules, they will be sent back home early at their own expense.
- If you are 14 or older, you can go shopping on day trips and to separate from the group in pairs or groups of 3-4 people.
Your timetable, lessons and teachers
When do lessons start in the morning?
Lessons take place on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday between 8:30 am and 12:45 pm.
Who will be teaching me?
All teachers are German native speakers with university degrees in German language or literature. Your tutors for the leisure programme are mostly students (sports studies, German language or teacher training students). German is the only language spoken in class, and we use is the communicative approach. You´ll get all the corrections, grammar and vocabulary you need, but our priority is on active speaking.
How will you know what level is best for me?
A placement test on the first day will help us to assess your level of German. Important for your placement in a group is your level of German, not your age.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes, you will get a certificate, stating the duration and type of your course and your level of German.
Who will do my laundry?
Your host family can do your laundry and will provide towels.
Do I have to bring books?
No. We provide all teaching materials, and they are included in the price. The materials used are chosen to fit the age group.
How much pocket money should I bring?
Entrance fees, all activities and public transport are included, so you´ll only need to bring pocket money to spend on things like soft drinks, ice cream and shopping. We recommend bringing about €50 per week of your stay.
What type of clothes will I need?
Temperatures in summer are in the 20s and occasionally go up to 32°C in Germany, but evenings can be quite cool. In addition to standard clothing, please bring
- Comfortable shoes, fit for long walks
- Sport shoes for indoor use
- A sweater
- A waterproof coat or jacket
- Swimwear
Medical care and insurance
What if I get sick?
The tutors have first-aid experience and can treat minor injuries. If you want to see a doctor, please contact your teachers or tutors immediately (or your host family at the weekend).
What kind of insurance should I have?
Please make sure that you bring proof of health insurance. When you have health insurance, you have to pay for medical treatment up-front, but will later be reimbursed. ADK is not responsible for any costs of medical treatment, and we strongly recommend taking out an insurance package which covers health care, third party liability, luggage and accidents.
What happens after I sent my booking?
You will receive a reply from us within 2 working days with an initial confirmation. Once we have received the deposit, we will send you accommodation details and the invoice.
What if I need a visa?
If you need a visa, we will send an invitation letter with the official confirmation of your booking. We can only issue the invitation after we have received full payment for the course. If your visa is rejected (which is very unlikely, as long as you meet all deadlines kept and submit all necessary documents). We will refund the full amount paid, except for an administration fee of €100.
We are available by phone 24 hours a day.
To find their driver, your daughter/son should look for a sign with their name on it.
If the driver is not there, please call us!
Advise your children not to leave the building and to wait at the agreed meeting point or gate.
