I attended Deutsch Akademie from A1-1 thru B1-2...the courses are intensive, the classes relatively…read moresmall (10-13 people) and to get the full benefit, one must attend the classes regularly (to miss one class is to possibly miss some of the German grammar, which is quite different and for me, was much more difficult than English). 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.
