Location: Housed in a 6-story building with a beautiful view of an ancient Roman fortification and the Cologne Cathedral. It is centrally located on the edge of downtown Cologne, with the Cologne Media Park directly behind. It is just a 10-minute walk away from the Rhine and the Cologne Cathedral, the picturesque historic district, and the pedestrian zone for shopping.

There are a number of transportation options from this station including train, metro, tram and buses.

Attractions in the city: The Cologne Cathedral and the Museum Ludwig are all found in the heart of the city, along with the other major attractions in the city. The BrĆ¼hl Castle is to the south of the city, a 30 minute train ride from the

ā€œDuring half a year some teachers changed, which is not bad, because everyone has their own approach to teaching. I liked some of the teachers very much, they were very dedicated and determined to improve my language level, some - a little less. Overall, a good environment to learn a language. From my point of view, there is no point in buying a course for less than a month.ā€
Disliked
ā€œAt first there were no activities at the school because a staff member quit, later they resumed them again, but in six months they were often repetitive and mostly for B1-B2 level and above, like going to the movies for example. There were not enough activities for those who have a beginner level of the language, and also sports activities. One of the things I remember was the carnival at school.ā€
Insider tip: ā€œIt is better to start the course together with a group at any level, so that you don't have problems with grammar topics and keep up with the textbook, try to find out in advance when the next group for your level starts.ā€

ā€œGood Programme and way of teaching. Lot's of opportunity to speak German, fun group exercises. I learnt a lot. Quality of the teaching was very good.ā€
Review details
Quality of teaching / language progress: I found the first day a bit disruptive as I changed classes and then the introduction sessions started, so we didn't cover much on Day 1. I only had 9 days so for me to lose a day was an issue. We then changed teachers on Day 3 it started the introduction process again, so this was another disruptive day for me. Again, I was limited with time, so couldn't really afford this as I wanted to maximize what I got out of the lessons.

School's reply: Muchas gracias por tu comentario, Carlos! We are always happy to receive your feedback, so that we can improve our weak points for the future. When did you do the course? We used to have a canteen but now the school is running a snack service from Monday to Friday during the break. There is also a dispenser for coffee and for cold beverages. Moreover, there are numerous coffee and snack bars in the direct vicinity (very cheap!).We are also expanding and improving our leisure program.You are always welcome :)

For example I was put in an A1.2 class instead of A1.1 but I had no knowledge of the language and it was a frustrating one month. The other 4 students could already speak the language and I couldn't and the teacher was not helpful to me because she always thought I was not coping. How could I cope when I didn't learn the basics? I did not enjoy the first month until I was taken to the A1.1 class.
