HOW PROFITABLE IS TO STUDY GERMAN IN PLAY?
The average cost of German language courses in Graz (the second largest city in Austria after Vienna) is €300 per semester or €75 per month.
Classes are held every day for 4-5 hours. In other words, it is at least 80 hours of German language classes per month, or less than € 1 per hour. And this is not counting the fact that you are constantly communicating with native speakers, that is, conversational practice every day for 10-12 hours.
You are in an environment in which language is impossible not to learn, and as a result, in 1-2 years you are guaranteed to reach the level of B1-B2 (self-sufficient possession) in order to freely enter the University and get higher education in Austria.
If you count, then a similar effect during classes with a tutor at home will require more than 800 euros per month, which is 1.5 times the nominal cost of study and living in Austria.
- GERMAN COURSES: WHY GRAZ?
- Graz is the second largest city in Austria, which is called the “city of students” (every fifth resident is a student).
- In Graz, unlike Vienna, it is much easier to find housing, and it is 1.5-2 times cheaper.
- German courses in Graz are also 1.5 times cheaper than in Vienna, and last 1.5-2 years (in Vienna – a maximum of 1 year). This is more than enough to master the language at a level above average, even from scratch.
- If you plan to get higher education in Austria in the future, then Graz is the best option. You take language courses, and at the time of admission to the university you already know everything about the city. No adaptation is required.
- Graz is the cultural and economic center of Austria. It is much easier to find a job for students (in comparison with the same Vienna).
