Great little school where the staff will take care of you…read more I've studied German for months to this school and I can tell that the courses were interesting, my teacher was good and would pay attention to each of us. If you have any problem you can surely find someone at the office to help you. I enjoyed being to that school, I think they put the priority on being here for each of us and to the quality of the services. The bad points would be that it's a little bit expensive and that you cannot find intensive evening courses.

I highly recommend DAS Akademie Berlin for language learning. I had a fantastic experience there…read morethis summer as I worked on my beginning language skills. When I first contacted Das Akademie, the support staff responded quickly and were very friendly and supportive in helping me find the best fit for a class. I was only in Berlin for seven weeks and wished to develop more confidence in speaking. I also have mild/moderate hearing loss and felt it might be better to have a one-on-one teacher to work with me. I wear hearing aids and with them most people don't realize I have trouble hearing, but language learning can be more difficult. On my first day, I spent time with the Director at DAS Akademie as he helped to choose a teacher that was a perfect fit. She quickly figured out that although I had learned many individual vocabulary words, I was still having difficulty with pronunciation and sentence structure. Rather than rush through exercises to "cover" material, we spent extra time practicing asking and answering questions so that I felt comfortable actually speaking in public. She was not only very creative in coming up with different ways of helping me practice, she did so in such a positive, energetic and fun way. My seven weeks passed way too fast. Each day that I walked into Das Akademie Berlin I was greeting with big smiles and encouraging words from everyone. Next summer I will likely come back to Berlin and if I do I will definitely be coming back. Everyone from the Director, to the teachers and all of the support staff are wonderful.

Sie hat mir besonders von Ayhan erzählt, der genau versteht, wie man Menschen ausbildet, die vielleicht nicht so mutig sind und etwas mehr Zeit und Geduld brauchen. Genau so habe ich es dann auch erlebt: Ayhan hat mir Schritt für Schritt gezeigt, wie man das Motorrad sicher beherrscht, von den Grundlagen wie Anfahren, Kupplung dosieren und Blickführung bis zu den komplexeren Übungen wie Kurven fahren, Ausweichen und Bremsmanöver. Auch schwierige Situationen wurden so erklärt, dass ich immer mehr Sicherheit gewonnen habe. Die Ausbildung war nicht nur fachlich top, sondern auch menschlich sehr einfühlsam. Ich hätte mir keine bessere Fahrschule wünschen können und kann ABC Citydrive jedem empfehlen der besonders wert auf Geduld, Verständnis und eine klare Ausbildung legt."

Speakeasy was recommended to us by a couple of my husband's coworkers, who had a great experience…read morewith one of Speakeasy's evening German A1.1 classes. My personal experience started with a couple of weeks worth of 1:1 German language lessons with one of new tutors, a woman to moved to Berlin to pursue a Master's degree in teaching foreign languages. She was diligent in teaching me some German that I wouldn't necessarily learn in my classes for at least a month or so, but would be useful for getting around. I then took the intensive A1.1 and A1.2 level courses for a couple of months, which were the equivalent of perhaps a year of high school German. The format of the classes includes lecturing, role-playing, practicing verbally with classmates, and the more traditional workbook exercises. German got difficult quickly, so I started taking the A2.1 evening courses as a way to give myself time to really digest the language. Same format as the daytime intensive courses, but it took a few months to get through the same material. PRO-TIPS: + If you're planning on taking intensive courses during the summer, do yourself a favor and register before the 20th. Not only do you get a €5 discount off the course, but you'll actually get the course you want. I made the mistake of not doing this and lost my space in a class with the best instructor I had. + My favorite instructor was Marten (sp?), one of the instructors for the intensive daytime course. While some of the teachers go by the textbooks (boring!), Marten was great about giving short lectures that gave us just enough information to practice whichever concept was the lesson for the hour. I loved how he gave us the "Legos" and encouraged us to build sentences with them. + While the textbook and workbook total to around €20 per course (a reasonable cost), there are some cash-strapped folks that might appreciate that you can actually borrow the books by paying the purchase price and just making sure you erase all your answers before returning the materials at the end of the course. As long as the books don't have any visible marks, you get your money back. There are many language school options in Berlin, but I felt like I really got a decent exposure to German for a reasonable price.

Thank you for the reply. I'll keep this brief, because I…read moredon't think we're going to agree and I'd rather not go back and forth. Mr Grote was a good teacher, and I've said so consistently. But a good teacher isn't the same as a school. A school sets homework, collects it, and grades it, so a student can see their mistakes and improve. That didn't happen, even in the classes I rated highly. For a language as demanding as German and for people who need it to build a life here the format simply wasn't enough. You've explained why you're not required to publish your pass rates. I understand that you're not required to. I'm noting that you choose not to, while confirming yourselves that you track those results internally. People deciding whether to spend significant money, often at a difficult moment in their lives, deserve to see them. That choice is yours to make, and mine to weigh. I'd prefer to leave my feedback where it is, publicly, rather than move it to a private conversation. It was a public review for the same reason your reply was public: so others can read it and decide for themselves. I wish your teachers well. My rating stands.

Nothing but good things to say about my experience with Kapitel Zwei…read more I took a chance showing up on the first day of class (start of the month) as I had just arrived in Berlin. The staff is incredibly helpful and got me in a class starting the same day. Daniela and Susanne are fantastic. I'm fairly certain they know all the students by name. Class size was appropriately small and my teacher was knowledgeable and fun. I start my next class this week.
