VHS Flensburg (Germany) with its 100 years history has gained a good reputation among its learners and teachers. It is an adult learning centre providing courses, workshops and educational holidays for adults. Language courses are especially loved among adults because of 3 reasons:

• it opens the doors to different countries and cultures, and unites families

• it keeps the brain fit in adulthood

• it is fun to learn a foreign language

English is for you

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner it is worth continuing learning English. English is a World Language, spoken not only in England, America, Australia, New Zealand, Malta etc., but also in many other countries and communities, where English is not an official language. Therefore, English is often called Lingua Franca (ELF) - a language helping to communicate, "a global means of inter-community communication" (Seidlhofer B.)* and not English as Foreign Language (EFL).

Check the current offer of courses and educational holidays in VHS Flensburg web site and register now and in VHS Husum.

I will be more than happy to be your teacher!
