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.

Herr Grote is a good instructor -- clear, structured, and easy to follow. However, the course is…read morevery expensive for what is offered. It would be better if the classes were spread over a longer period, with lower tuition and held in a less expensive building. Berlin should regulate private language schools more closely, and student pass rates should be publicly disclosed.

The main reasons I chose Kapitel Zwei were: 1 competitive prices, 2 goos reviews, 3 location. So…read morelet's start. They offer intensive german courses 3 hours a day (4 units of instruction of 45 min) from Monday to Thursday, 4 weeks. Total 64 units of instruction for 222€. They have courses from 9-12, 12-3, 3-6 and 6-9. You get an official european level within 2 courses (so 8 weeks). They do an entry level test to place you in the right level. We were 11 students but 2 quit in the middle and most of the days someone was missing son average 7-8 students. That's pretty good for the course. At the beginning of the course I wasn't happy with my course and teacher. The teacher was playing most of the times games, and I think we should have followed the book more. Most of the students were always late (except 3). I tried to change but there were no empty space in other groups so I continued. Actually it got better through the days, so I am glad I stayed. The teacher was teaching more grammar, and we started to read a book. I find the course very well to know german to everyday life and to speak. We did a lot of exercises in groups, to speak, which I consider great, as now I am able to speak (even though I know I make mistakes), and I loose "the fear" talking in german. I did here B1.1 and I signed up for a B1.2 next month. I am not sure if only with the intensive course you will be able to get through the official german exams, as there aren't too many hours, but they have special courses for that too. I will see, as I have to prepare for the B2 certificate. I think they should include Friday as day of class, so in total make a course of 80 units of instructions, which is recommended for each sub-level. And another thing: we made a 15 min pause after 1,5 h, which it is necessary in order not to get crazy, but sometimes this pause was 20-25 min. My teacher was late couple of times, so if you do the total, we didn't do 64 units of instruction. For me it's fine because I work every day at home too. The school is right in Alexanderplatz, which is Berlin city center and a great location. The staff is very friendly. As far as I know they speak English an also Spanish, which I really appreciate it. Anyways, I was happy with the result, and I am going to continue with them. To conclude, I would recommend this intensive course, it's a very good course for the price!

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!

There is a FAMILIENFEST INTERNATIONAL at the place. It's great, it's for the kids and the family and it's for free. Lock out for it, because it had in the past not been very well promoted beforehand! The event connects to the annual ILB (Internationales Literaturfestival Berlin), a big literature festival in Berlin, running for about a fortnight. Therefore that Sunday in September is about BOOKS for kids of different age, books presented by their international authors. Bits of texts will be read in German by well-known readers or even actors, though parts of it will be read by the authors themselves in original language. Kids and their adult company are welcome to ask questions to the writers. Additionally, there'll be running non-reading activities within the house and outside and inexpensive food and soft-drinks can be purchased.
