The state of Hesse in central Germany, with cities such as Frankfurt, Darmstadt, Marburg, Wiesbaden and Kassel, is a versatile region for language study. Thanks to Frankfurt Airport, it is one of the easiest regions to reach from Turkey.
Some of the language schools NGGlobal offers in Hesse:
In this state, the Goethe-Institut and DID schools are in Frankfurt. See our city pages for more on cities such as Darmstadt and Marburg.
Short programs last 1-4 weeks, while long-term programs run from 12 weeks to a year. German levels go from A1 to C2, and on an intensive course you should allow about two months per level.
Language school fees in Hesse depend on course intensity, the type of school and the length of your booking. The weekly price falls for longer bookings, and extra discounts apply for early bookings and off-season dates. Applying through NGGlobal lets you compare the schools' current offers in one place.
Language schools do not require a diploma or any prior knowledge of the language. After you complete the enrolment form and pay the deposit, the school sends you a booking confirmation and, if needed, a letter of acceptance for your visa. Junior programs require parental consent.
June to August is the busiest time for both courses and accommodation, so booking early pays off. In autumn and winter, classes are quieter and prices are usually lower.
Turkish citizens apply for a Schengen visa for courses of up to 90 days, and for a national (type D) language course visa for courses longer than 90 days. For the national visa, the course must have at least 18 lessons a week. You will need the school's letter of acceptance, proof of payment, health insurance and proof of sufficient funds.
The national language course visa allows you to work up to 20 hours a week. This is a good way to cover part of your living costs and practise your German at work. Short-term Schengen visas do not include permission to work.
Accommodation costs in Hesse vary by city: Frankfurt is expensive, while cities like Marburg and Kassel are cheaper.
Living costs in Hesse are high around Frankfurt and lower in the north of the state. Living in a smaller town near Frankfurt eases the budget.
The state's cities are connected by the RMV and NVV networks. With the €63 monthly Deutschlandticket you can use all local and regional public transport across the state.
Hesse has a temperate climate: the Rhine-Main area is known for warm summers, while the hilly north is cooler.
The state's main gateway is Frankfurt Airport (FRA), with direct flights from Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, Antalya and many other Turkish cities.
Hesse is 2 hours behind Turkey in winter and 1 hour behind during daylight saving time (late March to late October).
