There was a language school at Sheridan in Garmisch and the Russian Institute at Hawkins in Oberammergau when I was there.

We used to go to Garmisch to take our son for a hamburger because there was one McDondald's in Garmisch and one in Munich at the time, and we enjoyed the drive more through Lenggries, past the Sylvensteinsee and through Vorderriss, Wallagau, and Krun to Garmisch - very little tourist traffic that way but you did have to navigate the local tractors and occasional herd of dairy cattle being moved between Alpine pastures.
