Inviting the world to Marburg for the past 30 years

Our institute has been serving international students since 1988 with our year-round offers of specialized Intensive German courses.

 

 

 

Since the foundation of the foundation of S + W speak + write gGmbH the company is  represented by Jürgen Kalinna as managing partner. In March 2017 Linda Stolte has been appointed as an additional managing director.

 

Thus, the management of speak + write stands for many years of experience and a trusting cooperation with all customers and business partners and a high quality standard for the future development.

Over the course of the last 30 years we have had the pleasure of welcoming almost 30000 students from over 150 different countries toour Institute. Our German courses enabled them to pursue a course of study at a German university, participate in research projects and prepared them for employment/professional activity and the mandatory German language test required by German universities.

To this end we also have a long-standing cooperation with the Deutschen Akademischen Austauschdienst (DAAD) (German Academic Exchange Service), the Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung (AvH) (Alexander von Humboldt Foundation) and the Otto Bencke Stiftung e.V.

The focus of our differentiated and performance-oriented course program are the
