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.

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.

This course was absolutely fantastic and I am so happy I committed to doing it…read more Although it is pricey, and at first I wasn't sure if I should do it - I am so glad I did. In one weekend Bettina multiplied the joy I get out of my camera to infinity. I own a Sony A7 and for most of the year since I bought it it needed a repair without me quite realising it. Without knowing the basics of photography I just thought it was my fault the camera never focussed and after spending so much money on the camera I wasted a year in frustration. After getting it fixed I enrolled in the course. Bettina is an excellent teacher, she speaks perfect English and made everything really easy and fun to understand. We had a lovely small group and by the end of the first day we were all taking photos which weren't possible a few hours earlier and by the end of the weekend I had a very thorough understanding of the basics of photography. This does wonders for your confidence! Bettina taught us multiple varying techniques to take all sorts of photos and I feel like I really can do pretty much everything I want to do now. If you are at all interested in photography, have a great camera and don't really know how to take a photo on manual, balancing light etc, 100% do this course. I got so much joy out of it and in just 2 days it has made photography such a bigger part of my life. I can't wait to do it more. I'm so grateful to have found this course!

The school was exactly what I was looking for. I had two mornings of private lessons and learned so…read moremuch. Bettina was the perfect teacher and knew exactly how to get the most out of the time. She was also so friendly and had a lot of tips on both photography and Berlin! Would thoroughly recommend for any level of expertise!

When I think of Lego I generally think of models that people make, and well, you do get a bit of…read morethat here. However, personally, I really wasn't all that sure what to expect, or I did, I was simply expecting there to be a lot of models to look at. However, while that is the case, and that you can go on tours and have a look at them, it turns out that this is basically a store that specialises in Lego. Well, that isn't necessarily a bad thing thing, but I guess I simply have too many other things to keep my mind focused on.
