Travel to Germany on a Budget

Whether you have German ancestry, are learning German or just can’t get your fill of wiener schnitzel, World Explorers will send you on the adventure of a lifetime teaching English in Germany. Germany is not just the geographical center of Europe: it is also the political and economic center. One of the most developed countries in the world, Germany is home to much more than Oktoberfest, Berlin-style ping-ping and lederhosen. It’s landscape is made up of the beautiful North German Plains, the Central German Uplands and the Southern German Highlands. Germany’s major rivers are the Danube, the Elbe, the Oder, the Weser, and the Rhine.

As a World Explorer in Germany, you will get the chance to truly experience the German way of life while living with a host family. Your number one priority is to spend quality time with your hosts, and to practice English with them for 15 hours per week. You will play an important role in the household by contributing to everyday life. Your goal will be to help your hosts gain confidence speaking English with you, and ideally you will also want practice speaking German with them. CHI will provide you with teaching materials and conversation aides to get the lessons started. You do not need to be a certified teacher to apply!

CHI works with a trusted overseas partner agency in Heilbronn, Germany. Placements may be available in other areas as well. It really depends on which families we have available at the time you apply. Please note that placements may be outside of major cities where families live in bigger homes that can accommodate an extended guest.

This program is ideal for German language learners. This program actually gives you the chance to put your studies to use through daily conversation with the locals. Immersing yourself into the German culture is the best way to become fluent in German. You can also attend German classes for an additional cost. Your local coordinator can help you find a German language school.

Our partner agency in Argentina prefers one to two month placements with a host family with the possibility to extend to a third month if things go well. Shorter stays by the week may also be possible.

Yes! During your program, you will be able to travel to other areas of the country. Find out why Berlin is the one of the coolest cities in Europe or let yourself get lost in the Black Forest! Due to its central location in Europe, you can even visit other countries before or after your World Explorers homestay. Several cheap airlines operate out of Germany. Please be aware of the visa regulations that pertain to you before you make extra travel plans.

In Germany, we offer exciting work and volunteer opportunities in addition to our home tutor option. These more structured programs require more time and responsibility. You can still live with a host family while doing an internship or work program in Germany. These positions are typically unpaid, but they may offer some pocket money for your services.
