My class mates

Today I want to talk about my collegues, we are ten people (classes are never crowded) coming from Europe mostly but from Asia too:

we are two from Italy, one from England, one form Slovenia, one from Croatia, one from Russia, two girls form China, one from Columbia and one from India. The age goes from 18 to 40 … but not me: I’m the oldest … I’m 50 (with a young soul … believe me ;-)

The reason why the are studying german for most of them is concerning the job, many of them want to try to find a job or a better job in Germany, some they still have a job in their own countries and to improve their status they need to speack german also.

Sahana, coming from Bangalore in India, has the husbund working in Munich for a big company and she want to join him and she will look also for a job.

Florence, from New Caste in England, has a german boyfriend living in Munich and because she wants a future with him she will move to Munich soon.

All of them are nice and friendly, I like really much them.

Main reasons for studying at DeutschAkademie

About Deutschakademie: First of all I want to tell you why I decided for the Deutchakademie, the main reason, I am honest, is the price.

I compered their prices with other schools price and The price of the Akademie are really competitive, but, of course, i had a look of reviews of the school … All the reviews are really good and they talk about the quality, high level.

After 10 days of my course I can say the same, the quality is really high and I am happy about my choice. I find the way they teach really fluent and direct, easy for beginners like me, in less than two weeks I am able to have a simply conversation :-)

I decided to continue studing german in September.

Our teacher is young but for sure she knows how to teach, she is friendly and polite.

What I Like about Munich

I love the parks, big, nice and clean and I love the way how people enjoys them … When there is good weather and mild temperature everyone goes out from the house for a walk in the park, especially the Englisch Garten but also in the riversides of the river.

During Christmas time, for one month, in almost every square, little or big, you find markets selling Christmas decorations and special food and drinks … Amazing!!!
About markets, walking 10 mins from DeutschAkademie, you can visit the Viktualienmarkt, an old and  really nice open market where you can find fresh food, little restaurant and specialities from all over Europe, simply great!

The reasons why I decided to study German

Guten Morgen,

today i want to tell you why I decided to study german. I work in the tourism (hotel manager) and the place is Tuscany, a land loved by people coming from central Europe, especially from Germany .. of course talking in english is easy and help me really a lot but, I think, to give the welcome and talks german with german guests it will be really really good.

One more reason is because I visit Germany frequently and now is time to have a conversation in german with the people that i meet, it is a way to respect the people of the country I visit so often.

I choosed the Akademie after a quickly tour on internet, i found their website and it was really clear and easy to find the answer to my questions, all, including prices and termes of conditions. Of course I compared with other schools but or because their website were not really clear (sometimes really confused me) or because were too expensive or for other reasons I decided to go to the Akademie and after a really nice and friendly conversation with the employer I decided to make the test for the admision and I paid for the first course … fast and easy :-) I am really sure to have taken the right desition: a good quality at the right price.

First impressions

Good morning … first day of the course is over, great day … It was a really interesting day. In the classroom we are 10 people coming from many countries, mostly from Europe (Italy, Great Britain, Slovenia, Croatia,) but three from Asia (Russia and China) and only one boy from South America (Columbia). They are nice, smart and about the age from 20 to 35 yo … for sure I am the oldest with my 50, but i could imagine that ! :-)

Our teacher is young but for sure she knows her job, good and friendly start, now we know how to introduce ourselfes and how to have our first basic conversation.

I can’t wait for one more lesson ….. :-)

First day at DeutschAkademie

Today is my first day of the german course level A1.1, my name is Sergio, 50 years old, I come from Italy and I work in the tourism … that’s one of the reasons why I decided to learn german.

This is not my first visit in Munich and the second reason why i decided to study german is because i love this town and i want to know more about the culture and the lifestyle.

The third important reason because I am here is to learn how to organize better my “things”, YES … I’m 50 and don’t think I’m too old to learn how to improve my life ;-) and wich is the best place to organize properly? I will start exactly from today with my “school bag”: pens, pensil, course book, homework book, notebook, water and coins for the coffee :-)

I’m sure it will be a nice experience, the conversation I had some days ago with the girls of the office gave me a right and positive impression … Let’s start the day with a big smile.
