What Our Students Say

Farah, Tunisia

I am in Germany because I want to study biology. I live in Heidelberg, which is the perfect city for learning the language. It’s not too big, it’s quiet, and it’s a very beautiful city. Besides, I love that there are so many language cafés.

Sato, Japan

I have been living in Heidelberg for a year now. In the future, I would like to study violin at a music academy. That is why I am learning German.

Feng, China

The course was very helpful and practical in preparing for the written exam (KP). I found it particularly valuable that the instructors themselves work as doctors in a hospital and have already successfully passed the written exam.
