"There are primarily students. You can study with students of the same age and various nationalities.
Both of our teachers were very enthusiastic about teaching us."
Negative aspects
"The classes are a bit pricey. Also, the atmosphere of the classes varied; some classes were always intense, while others were relatively sparse, with students even at the start of the class."

Positive aspects of school
"The class was conducted with a small group, creating an engaging learning environment. The pace and organization were perfect, making it not only informative but also enjoyable to attend.
The teachers exhibited a high level of preparation, experience, and an ability to convey concepts in an easy-to-follow manner.
Furthermore, I was pleasantly surprised by the additional efforts made by the DID school to organize events that complement the language learning process. These extra activities enhance the overall learning experience and contribute to a more educational journey.
I want to express my sincere appreciation for your suggestion to join this school and I am thoroughly enjoying my time here."

"I especially enjoyed the afternoon activities, which allowed us to explore Berlin more closely and be immersed in Berlin with its museums, monuments and history."
Insider tips about what future students should not miss
"One thing to note, don't try to study outside of lessons. The lessons themselves are fine and it is just enough for you to learn German. Instead, spend time with your friends, read a book, or do something else aside from learning German all the time."

"The teachers can vary on how well they can teach. My first teacher was funny and great but didn't really explain anything. The second teacher was absolutely boring and the only interesting thing we did was watch a film. The last teacher was amazing and taught us quite a lot. The higher you go with your level, the more enjoyable and fun the course and teacher is."

"The first day there were two sick teachers and they had to merge two groups :-(
I had 3 teachers in 1 week :-( The system of the school is to have 2 teachers per week so that the students get used to different accents. I would prefer 1 teacher per week so that the teacher could get to know the students better, but in general, everything worked for me because I have a lot to learn and I do not have the pressure to learn the language to find a job or study or live there. Also, I took the course to live the experience "from the other side": I am a teacher of Spanish for foreigners, I like to see how other teachers and other schools work.
I thought the coordination among teachers regarding the content of the lessons was very good."
