Comments of former students:
"I think I have to start by saying that during my stay here (almost 7 weeks), I have learnt so much German that I must concentrate really hard to write this in English!
I came here because I love Germany, and I find the German language beautiful. I have learnt German for 3 years at school in my homecountry, but at the beginning of my course, I could not even form one whole sentence in German, and I was afraid of speaking it.
This course has been a great experience, I have met some great people, the teachers are good and creative, and I think that the most important thing is that I have much more confidence and I love Germany even more!!"

"I had a great time learning German at this school. There is a friendly
welcoming atmosphere which I felt even on the first day. I found all the
teachers to be very friendly, approachable and enthusiastic. I preferred
being in a small class as it gave me the chance to get to know all my
classmates and to make friends, with whom I could do after school activities
with. I found the classes to be very interesting as I got to learn and
practice my grammar whilst learning new vocabularly when we discussed
different themes. I also enjoyed having different teachers as it made the
classes even more interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here, I made so
many friends and of course improved my standard of German. I'll definetly be
coming back next year!"

"The course is very effective (you speak a lot, etc.), and a lot of fun! The teachers are young, attractive and full of initiative. The classes are varied and cover several topics; they are also small enough that you receive individual help and attention."

"I'm very happy with my German lessons in BWS Germanlingua. First of all, I want to say that everybody, all the workers are very nice and ready to help in any moment. I've felt very comfortable. About my lessons, I had private lessons, and my priority was talking. I've talked a lot and also some important grammar for me. We have talked about subjects, which have relation with my job. The teachers were very nice and open to my desires. I found very helpful the pronunciation lessons, fantastic!! I hope I come here again in my next holiday."

"I started this course on April 1st 2008. I could say "hello", "goodbye", "please", "thank you" and count to ten in German. On April 28th I read a short article about Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in the Morgenpost and joked with the waiter at dinner in German. I can read signs on the street, catch the drift of TV shows, and communicate in comprehensible, if broken German. After one month ?| actually 18 days of class ?| this is amazing. The school is excellent, very professionally run, and easy to use. The staff is friendly and the teachers are extremely competent. Classes are fun (My smallest class was 3 people, the largest was 6), but a great deal of information is thought each day. The vocabulary and grammar is all useful. All in all, the month I spent in school has been useful, entertaining and remarkably pain-free. I am glad I came."
