Additional information
Positive aspects of school
That it was a chance to combine grammar, listening and speaking German with fine and kind teachers.
Negative aspects
I did not like that I had to wear a facemask also when I was sitting and receiving lessons. I did not like either that several of the students came late everyday.
Other comments
Very strict because of corona, this was the issue.
City/place
It is a nice place to go and many things to see.
Quality of teaching / language progress
A relevant course.
Accommodation
I had an OK room. But I could only stay there every evening. The host, who was a lady of 64 years old nearly did not speak to me and the other student. But she was kind enough.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss
Don't stay at the A&O Hauptbanhof and expect to be in the heart of the city. The free breakfast is nice though.
Other comments
There is no A1 lesson plan. I had no assessment test. I did not feel safe in the neighborhood where my hotel was located.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss
Bring a passport photo for the DID student card (which will get you discounts at some tourist attractions but not on the public transport system) and 10 euros for the refundable deposit for the card that will let you get past the electronic locks at the school's entrance. Also worth bringing a passport photo to get a public transport card made at the main train station (this card will enable you to save money on public transport by buying a weekly or monthly ticket).
Other comments
Shame that I got no teaching on the first day as I sat around a long time waiting for language level assessment. The cultural activities were cancelled as they will only run an activity if 5 or more people have signed up.

Other comments
First day organisation is poor. On the confirmation document was only indicated one hour of presentation. The level test is about 20 minutes and you have to wait after the break to enter the course. Thus I've lost 2 x 45 min on Monday morning. I've paid 20 lessons and only followed 18.
