Our Language Courses at the Language Centre
At the Saarland University Language Centre, you can acquire or improve your skills in more than 15 languages. As a central institution, we do not belong to any single faculty but are available to all members of the Saarland University community equally. This means that staff, students, and guest students can all participate in our language courses. For university employees, we offer special staff courses. Students at schools in the Saarland in grade 9 and above can take part in our youth courses.

What our language course participants are saying…
- “When I started the role-playing game (RPG) course, I had no knowledge of Italian at all, and I have to say that, from session to session, I developed a better vocabulary and became more confident in expressing myself. Learning the language ‘playfully’ with other people led to some funny situations within the fictional story we were playing, which helped certain Italian words and expressions stick in my memory more easily. Another advantage, of course, was that the people in the group who were a little more advanced in the language could help whenever someone got stuck in a particular situation, in addition to the tutor and the assistants, of course. The course was very well organised and definitely helped me to have my first positive and exciting encounters with a new language in a way that was far from dry or conventional, while also allowing me to build up a basic vocabulary in certain areas.” (Course participant)
- “The Portuguese course not only expanded my language skills but also my cultural knowledge. The class felt like a little family, and it was fun to do various activities together to get to know not only the language but also Brazilian culture. Our instructor structured the course so that we didn’t just do exercises or work from the textbook, but also listened to music, looked at recipes, and even prepared our own Brazilian salad. I would recommend that anyone interested in languages give Brazilian Portuguese a try.” (Mariana, course participant)
