In Deutsch Akademie there are many kinds of courses. There is always a question which is better to choose. Of course, you can find detailed information on the website or from specialists at school. But I would like to briefly share my opinion.
For several months I attended an intensive course. It really was intense. You feel like you have German lessons every day and all day long because there was quite a lot of homework. But, of course, you feel progress.
Therefore, the main advice for choosing an intensive course will be the training of day planning. I managed to do everything because I love planning. I like when every minute is scheduled. If you do not like to do this, then choose a semi-intensive course. To determine the level of intensive course you need to pass the test. There are no exceptions.
It’s great that textbooks can be bought at school. You will not need to specifically look for them and spend time on it in a bookstore. Although I like bookstores, there’s not much fun looking for textbooks.
After the course, the books remain with you and you can additionally train when you want. This is also great.
