WANT TO LEARN A LANGUAGE FOR CHARITY?

By attending our 10-week block of affordable language classes you will help provide a community in need with access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene education

Our 10-week courses start in November and April, usually 2 weeks after the beginning of the University semester.

The classes are usually on the main campus of TU Berlin.

Paying is the only way to reserve your place for the language classes. To pay, press the button SIGN UP & PAY above. Choose the desired class and fill in your name.

Our volunteers aim to keep the classes as fun as possible. The classes are student centred, with lots of games and interaction, giving you the chance to practice the language, improve your skills and make new friends.

Anyone who is interested in learning a new language!

Our classes are designed for students to obtain a conversational level of the given language in the shortest time possible. You will learn some grammar, but the lessons are focused on improving vocabulary and communication skills.The vocabulary taught is aimed at chatty students and travellers, starting with simple phrases like “what’s your name?” and “where are you from”, and then moving on to more complex stuff like telling people about your family, friends, job, pets, interests, night life etc. In the classes you will learn how to tell stories and jokes in the language you are learning.

Language4Water is a student-volunteer run society/project where we train non-professional native or bilingual speakers to teach their own languages. Like other 4Water projects, 100% of our profits are donated to WaterAid. Currently, we are focusing our resources on a region in Rwanda and plan to raise a further 100,000€ for these communities over the next 2 years. Would you like to be a part of it? Then sign up for a course or contact us for volunteering opportunities!

We have different levels for most of the languages we offer. If you sign up to a language, you can always change level at no extra cost. However, it's useful for you to pick the closest level to your abilities when signing up. At the moment, we offer 2 different kinds of classes: Fundamentals and Conversational. A fundamentals class is right for you if you know little or nothing in a language, and you want to get to a survival level and a solid base for further study. Conversational classes are aimed at students who can already speak and write the language on a B1-B2 level, and want to broaden your vocabulary and enhance your speaking skills. Conversational classes might work with newspaper articles, movie snippets etc. which are then discussed in class.
