Ich hatte einen GIMP Fotobearbeitungskurs gebucht. Sieben Teilnehmer warteten vergebens auf den Referenten. Er kam einfach nicht. Am Montag drauf sollten alle per E-mail den Kurs bewerten ... Sehr lustig!!! Er war ja ausgefallen. Schließlich bekamen wir nach diversen Beschwerden einen Ersatztermin, der dann auch tatsächlich stattgefunden hatte. Eine andere Teilnehmerin sagte mir, dass Rentner nur 85,- statt 95,- bezahlen müssen. Also habe ich 85 überwiesen. Prompt kam die Androhung, dass mein Fall an ein Inkassounternehmen geht!!! Auf telefonische Nachfrage bekam ich die Auskunft, dass nicht jeder den Discount bekommt, nur wer vorher darum bittet. Nachträglich sei eine Änderung sehr umständlich und deshalb nicht machbar. read more

VHS, Holzdamm 5, A2 German class. First of all I couldn't have asked for a more logic, fantastic teacher, Micha rocks! Second, I can't understand that it's only 50 Euros for 3 month. Last, the location is great, just by Alster, easy to reach by bike, U-bahn, S-bahn and bus. read more

I was attending a german for foreigners (DaF, Deutsch als Fremdsprache) course there and it was great. I tried many other language schools but this was far the best. Maybe because of our highly skilled and motivated teacher. I don't know. But now I'm going to the next level also there :) read more

its a rather old building in the schanze but one of the few with a lift... which is a change from other VHS where ur course is at the 5th floor and there isnt a lift :P VHS in general is rather cheap... much cheaper than private schools, but then again ur paying for what u get in return... i did 2 years of language in the VHS in schanze .. and as an end result i cant really say i am fluent not even a bit not even close courses go VERY slowly after 2 years i realised its rather a waste of time and once i have more money to spend id probably enrol in the cervantes institute or go to an intensive course in a spanish speaking country... VHS is ok for a short period when it comes to learning languages... but if u expect to become fluent, better change strategies read more
