"The officers and teachers are really kind and nice."

MAYU KIKUCHI, student from Japan

The location of Swan Schule is good. It is near Essen Hbf. The officers and teachers are kind and nice, and the activities were really fun for me. I could speak a lot of German, so I could improve my German skill in a short period of time. The facilities and housing look like new and clear. But they are doing construction of an elevator, so it was a little messy. I made a general judgement, Swan Schule is very good language school for German lerners.
