Learning starts with a sense of well-being

The DSD - a school with charm and character, which doesn’t remind you of a school at all. The style and aesthetic of the individually designed rooms create a warm and comfortable atmosphere, which gives a sense of well-being right from the start. A very important condition for a positive learning experience.

Communicative teaching means creating together

In the DSD one does not "consume" but one communicates. The language students help creating their own lessons by dialogues, presentations, short recitations, etc. This way, speaking inhibitions are reduced and the articulateness in the German language is developed right from the first lesson.

The smaller the group, the bigger the learning success

In bigger groups you can easily disappear. But do you learn something very well this way? In the small groups of the DSD with 4 to 8 participants every language student is demanded and supported equally. The individual supervision of every single course participant is the highest principle of the DSD.

Analogous and digital - technology helps learning

The red thread of our lessons are CEFR-certified textbooks (textbooks, exercise books, audio-CD). This basis for our lessons is optimally supplemented with interactive learning software (language lab, orthography, grammar tests) which can be used by language students after the classes.

A city which delights you

Dresden is more than just the Frauenkirche. The completely restored Old Town with its historical buildings looks across the river Elbe towards the not less attractive Neustadt with its witty artistic and cultural milieu. Two fascinating city centres and a picturesque vicinity are the framework for your German course at the DSD.
