High quality is not just a phrase to us; it is both a statement of our commitment and responsibility.
It starts with our qualified, motivated and excellent teachers who are able to respond to individual needs, and at the same time to guide learners to the targeted goals, combining hard work with a relaxing atmosphere.
A good course book and materials are also very important. We keep up-to-date with the course book market in order to choose the best option for you. In our German courses, we are currently using the course book Menschen (Hueber), and in our courses for special purposes, we use carefully selected and prepared materials.

Classes were very interesting and I learned a lot of new words. I found some difficulties with comprehension at the beginning but then it went better. There is nothing I did not like and the location was just perfect for me.
Show details » Read more...We did a lot of different activities, especially Oral and I'm really satisfied about that because listening other people and having the chance to Say my opinion about different topics helped me a lot to improve my German.
I really appreciate that fact that we have to use German even to understand the meaning of new words and the fact that there was a very friendly atmosphere between all of us.
As an Erasmus student I would appreciate to learn more technical vocabulary during my intensive course, but I understand it's not easy In a General German course with students from very different faculties. A possible solution could be to create special courses based not only on level But especially on Field of studies and involving local university teacher or students to start learning technical words.
This is my assessment:
I compare with my friends who study at the German Language Center Vienna Universities (VWU).
I realized that it's better (Sprachenzentrum der University Wien Alser Straße 4, Campus der University) Relative to your center because of the following:
-Interactive exercises
-Grammatical exercises
-Practical exercises
-Placing students in places like restaurants, cafes, bars, etc.
-Reforms and combinations that are used extensively in German.
In general, Their teachers are experienced - expert-motivated -
But your teachers are not serious and are very comfortable and bored while We need to learn this language. A model to learn about its impact on campus and society here.
In the intensive period of your center, it was important for your teacher to complete the book and the lessons of that level.
And from the grammar - spelling and pronunciation-the imperative grammar points were rejected.
The location was very good and easy to commute by public transportation. The teachers, housing and activities have been very good. It seems that the house is not designed originally for such an activity. However, that doesn't cause a major efficiency issue during the courses.
Show details » Read more...Acceptable course, but they should offer native speakers also for basic levels. The class should focus more on speaking and teacher should be slightly flexible to answer in English when there is no other way to understand a concept.
Show details » Read more...The classes were always fun, Pea was an awesome teacher and I got really confident in my german, being able to use it on the street easily. The trips are also really good and the school is very well located. Right near TU which is nice!
