Expath offers a unique service. We help expats and new arrivals get settled in Germany, and provide top-notch German classes in Berlin.
Learn German effectively
Learn German in a small group in one of our two central Berlin schools - or in your company. Start speaking right away and progress quickly - without paying a fortune.
My husband and I took the complete beginner German class with Expath (2 weekends, 6 hours/day). It was exactly the sort of boot camp we needed to get started with our language learning. Our teacher was fantastic - I'd highly recommend this class to anyone looking to get started with speaking German.

Settle in Germany without stress
Cut through the bureaucracy and get individualized help with your relocation to Germany. Our friendly team of coaches is standing by to help you.
I had heard about Expath before coming to Berlin and made an appointment for my first day here. They provided me with all the information I needed to register at the Bürgeramt, find work as an English teacher, open a bank account, and everything else I needed to do! It's now almost 2 years later, and I've gone back to Expath for German classes, and for more bureaucratic advice on getting my visa renewed next month.

I have been to a lot of language schools in Berlin this year but Expath is by far my favorite! All the teachers are so nice and patient with me. Everyone bonds really well and no one makes you feel dumb when you struggle practicing Deutsch. I would highly recommend it!

Thanks to Expath, I was approved for my visa application! I could not have done it without them - there are just things not explained on the visa websites. I can't thank [them] enough for their expert coaching, and [their] translation services during my appointment. Very friendly with very reasonable rates. I'm deeply grateful and indebted to them.

Got questions about moving to Germany?
My first days in Berlin were a little bit terrifying (even though I had lived in another German city already), so the "Getting started in Berlin" workshop was definitely a great way to start getting things done. It's only been 4 days since the workshop and most of my legal obligations have been accomplished already. Thanks to super-friendly Tia I can now say I feel confident to start my life in Berlin. Thank you!!!!!
