As a new hobby photographer I was so excited to hear of Carola Schwalm's "Vienna Photo Walk". Today I went on my first walk with Carola to the Zentral Friedhof. The purpose of the walk is to explore the city, get to know your camera better, ask questions and get answers from Carola herself or from anyone in the group with experience. All levels, ages and equipment are welcome. The rules are simple. Don't rush, have fun, and feel free to ask for help when needed. I felt so welcomed by Carola and the entire group, and I no longer feel so lost with my camera! Vienna Photo Walk offers free and ticketed events and private sessions. Be sure to rsvp quickly if you have interest in her ticketed (10 euro) events. Places go fast!

From the owner: Join our regular photo walks to explore Vienna's sights & beautiful scenery with a group of fun &…read morelike-minded photographers at all levels.

I was quite satisfied with the instruction, as it has allowed me to pass both my A1 and A2 ÖSD tests, with good scores (91 on my A1 test and 89 on my A2) and has prepared me for my B1 test which I will take soon (tests required by Austria for residence). The school I attended is across from the Opera, a beautiful setting, with clean, well kept rooms, each with A/C and fans (sometimes the A/C was not working so well, but each room has several fans which kept the air moving and a comfortable working atmosphere). The office staff was always friendly, helpful and all I dealt with, spoke very good English, so it was easy to get information and schedule classes. Their course pricing is less expensive than most in Vienna, without sacrificing quality, with the many courses and varied schedules to select from, it made choosing Deutch Akadamie easy. The instructors I had were great! I was fortunate enough to have the same instructor for A2-1 through B1-2 (Anita V.) which was quite helpful. My first instructor was equally as good, she only was teaching the A1 series. I have attended several other language schools and found Deutsch Akadamie to be the best overall. I would very much recommend this language school to anyone wanting to learn German.
