Goethe-Institut

If you like a little schnitzel with your noodles then get yourself to the Goethe-​Institut and have yourself a bratwurst of a time. Sausage jokes aside, Manchester’s German Institute is the place for all things Deutsche. Situated in the same offices as the Alliance Francaise (upstairs in swishy Churchgate House on Oxford Road), The Goethe-​Institute is a brilliant cultural and language centre slap bang in the city centre.
Offering language courses from the basic to the fluent as well as German cultural events and festivals, the Goethe-​Institute is a wonderful place to learn, network and mingle. There are several large learning spaces as well as smaller classrooms and a library. There are racks of German newspapers (current and dated) as well as magazines and a selection of fiction and non fiction books, maps and textbooks.
The centre also runs a drama group which put on German productions and dance groups. There are plenty of spaces in the office to chat and learn, as well as regular German movie nights showing some classic cinema as well as current offerings.
With friendly staff and great learning resources, you’ll soon know your sauerkraut from your frankfurters.
