Response from school
Our former school was small, but okay. We moved into our new and very nice facilities in July 2006. The student himself did not assist regularly to class, so his progress in learning German couldn't be really good. The other students of his class have been happy with the quality of teaching.

学校で出会った先生、友達が本当によかったです。
私の参加した時期（10月下旬～11月上旬）はクラス内だけでなく、学校にも日本人がひとりもいなかったのは思いがけない幸運で、どっぷりドイツ語に浸れました。

積極的になり、自分のやり方ではなく現地に従えば、満足度100％間違いないです。

対応が迅速で、お世話になった担当者みなさんが多言語（英語はもちろんフランス語スペイン語など）に長けているので、安心して参加できました。

El trato amable de todos los miembros de la escuela
Insider tips about what future students should not miss
Con la llegada al nuevo país, lo más común es sufrir la adaptación a éste, en este momento aconsejo que la persona sea positiva y persistente; para poder disfrutar lo mayor posible, conociendo todo lo que le rodea e intentando comprender las diferentes culturas.
Other comments
En esta escuela están muy concienciados de que el alumnado procede de diversos lugares, nos acogen de la mejor forma y permiten que nuestra adaptación al nuevo lugar sea lo más agradable posible.
Además Tandem Koln ofrece la posibilidad de combinar clases en horario de mañana con actividades culturales por las tardes, las cuales favorecen la integración con el resto del alumnado.

There are many Spanish people here.
Almost every day they have parties at the public bar or someone's house.
