1. The Grammar workshop
Our workshops are a real treat: Every course month, we give you the opportunity to expand
your grammatical knowledge.
Hand-picked speakeasy teachers will show you how to successfully avoid the common mistakes
of German grammar. The workshops take place online so you can take part from anywhere. There
will be a variety of topics for every session – simply choose the topic that you find most
interesting! Our workshops might focus on adjective declension, the passive voice, relative
clauses and many more tricky topics. Just like our courses, the workshops contain the
special speakeasy mix of well-grounded explanations and interactive exercises. This way, you
can practise with confidence what you have just learnt in class.
Our grammar workshops always take place in the second course week. A summary of all topics will be available online beforehand. With just a few clicks, you can register and will receive your log in details by email.
2. Thematic workshops
We present hands-on advice for your life in Berlin in our expert lectures. We hold our lectures in English to make sure that all participants, no matter what their German level, can benefit. In presentations such as “How to find a flat in Berlin?” or “How to find a job in Berlin?” you will get lots of tips to make your transition into this great city so much easier.
Wait, we haven’t finished: We know that many of our participants plan to study in Germany. This is why one of our expert lectures, we explain how you can apply for a German university.
Another one of our great workshops focusses on working as a freelancer in Berlin – this one is perfect for all our participants who consider doing so!
speakeasy Berlin – More than just a language school
At speakeasy, you can learn German in a comfortable living room atmosphere – but that’s far from all! We are not just a language school but also a perfect place to meet new people.
Our community room – be it online or in the school – offers plenty of opportunities to chat to your peers after class. New country, new city, new language – many of you are in the same boat and we do our best here at speakeasy to steer it in a pleasant direction!
This is why we offer great events on a regular basis. Here you can get to know Berlin together with other people and meet other speakeasy participants.
3. The regulars’ table
Is there anything better than to round off the day with a drink in your hand and a group of nice people around you? We carry on the long tradition of the speakeasy regulars’ table:
On Wednesday of the second course week, we regularly reserve a table in one of the trendy bars or pubs in Friedrichshain – and we look forward to spending time with you outside of the classroom!
What we love most about the regulars’ table is the international group of
people: Meeting
students from all over the world and hearing your stories! The speakeasy regulars’ table is
a great opportunity for you to meet new people and to catch up with
friends. Of course, it
is also the perfect chance to practise your spoken German.
But don’t worry: Every
language
is welcome here!

gallery or a tour through our neighbourhood.
