Learn German & live in your private teacher's home around Hamburg with Home Language International!
Home Language International (HLI) is a family-run business offering language courses in more than 20 languages in over 30 countries worldwide, including German lessons at an experienced private teacher's home in Germany. More than 5,000 students take advantage of our services every year. Ian Josephs, Danielle Josephs, their 5 adult children and an expert team of dedicated staff all put in very long hours for HLI.
You stay in an experienced teacher's family home, have one-to-one German lessons and then continue to use the language during the rest of your stay in Hamburg. Because you are the only student, you are guaranteed individual attention. The lessons are completely designed for you, so the teacher will focus exactly on what you need. Mealtime conversation, television and social contacts are all in German.
All of our teachers in Germany have a university degree (or equivalent) and/or a recognised teaching certificate. All teachers have been visited by one of our local organisers. Their qualifications have been checked and their homes throughly inspected. During your stay in Hamburg, a local organiser will monitor your progress and make sure your experience is both happy and successful.
Home Language International (HLI) is accredited by the Accreditation Body for Language Services (ABLS), Association of Language Travel Organisations (ALTO), and UNOSEL.

We offer language courses for beginners and advanced students in Hamburg
No matter what your language level is, we surely have the right course for you. We orientate our language courses along the common framework of reference for languages. This divides the language ability into levels A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2. The language level increases with every new level. This has the advantage for you that the courses are comparable. Even if you have started at another language school, you can comfortably continue the courses with us. We offer you every language level. Lessons are taught in small groups, so you get fast results.

Learn languages in Hamburg with intensive, private and company courses
You can choose between different course models. If you need language skills quickly, we recommend an intensive or semi-intensive course. If you do not live directly in the center of Hamburg and value an individual course design, a private course is best. If you are a business owner and would like to have language courses for your employees, please contact our staff. We have good offers for in-house business courses with you.
Our trademark: Moderate prices and small groups
As a private language school, of course, we always adapt our prices to the market and the competition. We try to offer as moderate prices as possible and never let our group size swell over 10 participants.
