That is a good question, oder? I hope this topic helps you.I have already studied in  Volkshochschule. It is very affordable, good teacher, didn´t like the book (Berliner Platz) and the class had always 20 people, which means that you won´t speak that much… but in general was a nice experience.Here at DeutschAkademie the teacher (Nina) was very nice, I liked the book (Themen Aktuell 2), the price is very good, nice location (In front of Karlsplatz – see picture) , and the best was that we had only 3 people in the class. The normal is 6 but the other quit then we were only 3!So, my experience was very good so far and I recommend it.I just hope this post help you to answer the question! :-)Until next time!
