Are you interested in taking German classes at a low cost, relative to private language schools? Or looking for a pilates or yoga class without wanting to join a fitness club? Or just interested in starting a new hobby like painting, videography, or fashion design? The Volkshochschule can offer you a course on just about every topic of interest that you could imagine. The current program lists over 7000 courses. Courses are offered in Volkshochschule centers throughout the city. Courses are generally low-cost compared to courses taken through private businesses or schools. Many of the centers offer on-site childcare while you are in class.
The website is very thorough, but it is in German, and may take some time to navigate. If you are interested in taking a class in German as a foreign language, click on “Programm” from the home page. Next, follow the link to “Deutsch als Fremdsprache/Deutsch als Zweitsprache”. From there you can use the English Version to get some information. However, when it comes to the actual course listings, they are all in German. There are dozens of courses offered, at all levels of proficiency. Viel Gluck!
