I had a great time at my German language course in Berlin. The teachers were very professional, the other students in my class were on the same language level as I was and the school and CESA were quick and helpful. Great course and great service.

The lessons in Berlin were great. Especially the one to one in the afternoon which has brought me to a higher level. Absolutely recommended.

I thought it was a good course and am very glad I went. The standard of teaching was very high and there was a good atmosphere in classes. I didn’t meet as many Germans as I would have liked, but did enjoy meeting people from all over the world. I think staying in the course […]

I had the most wonderful week in Berlin. Everything worked out perfectly for me, and I was there between heatwaves (my main concern) and I avoided the seemingly frequent problems with BA, so I was lucky. The Hotel is fabulous -there is no other word, and although I’d looked at the website before my trip, […]

I felt the standard of teaching was very high and the general vibe of the campus was excellent. The lessons were a good mix of grammar and practice. The teachers encouraged speaking and discussion as much as possible. The only problem I found was that the difference between the best and worst students in the […]

I was hoping that the course would help improve my German language skills enough to help me through my final A level exam, and I was expecting it to be tough but doable. An absolutely brilliant course. Not only did my German language Gap Year help improve the quality of my German but I thoroughly […]

I hadn’t studied German after A-level and upon completing my Physics Degree wanted to improve my German, mainly for personal satisfaction. It will also help to have it on my CV. The classes were enthusiastically taught and quite a lot of homework was given, encouraging me to work on my language skills outside of the […]

I expected it to be quite intensive and thought the lessons would be of a high standard. I wanted to really improve my German and develop a love of the language. My expectations were fulfilled. The teachers were excellent I really improved my German and developed a love of the language and of the culture […]

I wanted my overall ability to improve to near fluency and that the course would be both educational and entertaining. I feel I achieved both goals! As a place to learn German in Berlin, the language school was great. The lessons were good and the teaching effective yet informal. German lessons consisted of discussions where […]

I spent two weeks at the German language school in Berlin and had an amazing time! The course itself focuses on immersion so you are constantly required to interact in German which can be initially quite full on but I really felt it helped me develop my language skills. All the teachers are really approachable […]

Having never embarked on such a course I had no real expectations other than that presented to me by CESA Languages, via the website, brochure etc. From this I had an idea in my mind of a German language school, where we’d be encouraged to achieve real progress. The German language school in Berlin was […]

I am training to become a solicitor in London I thought it would be a great idea to learn German in Germany during my Gap Year to help my career, as I believed it would be a fantastic experience ; one that would broaden my horizons, introduce me to a European culture that was new […]

I’d only learnt German at school so expected it to be very much the same experience at the German language school in Berlin, maybe a bit more intense because German was the only subject being studied. I was pretty nervous before I went. CESA even warn you to expect this in the notes they send […]

Berlin is an amazing city with a fascinating history. It was wonderful, everything was very cheap and convenient and I always felt safe (so much safer than in London). The night life was excellent and I had a great social life. The lessons at the German language school were very interactive and involved lots of […]

I was able to arrange my own accommodation in Berlin and so this was where I decided to study. I had two weeks and wanted to improve general language skills – in part to see if I could still learn a language, or if now I’m in my 40’s I’d left it too late. I […]

I’m in my thirties and didn’t want to be in a classroom with a mass of 17 yr olds, who were more agile minded than me and would have completely different goals and motivations to me. Actually it turned out the other students in my beginners class ranged from early 20’s to late 40’s, which […]

I was very nervous about not understanding anything and daunted at spending so much time with strangers! Linguistically I expected to struggle at first, but hoped to see some real improvement by the end. On a totally paranoid level I just hoped that the school really existed and that I wasn’t being ripped off! When […]

As I was an absolute beginner, I was looking forward to a challenging, perhaps difficult, but interesting course, to meet students from different cultures and backgrounds also to visit many areas within the locality. It was all good! The German language course was very interesting, difficult at times of course, but very enjoyable. I felt […]

I was hoping to learn some basics and make some friends in the class to spend time with sightseeing/socialising when not in class. My trip really exceeded by expectations : ) The lessons were brilliant, much better than German language lessons I remember from Secondary School. A lot was covered in a week, but I […]

My expectations were far surpassed! If I’m honest, I expected to refresh my German, mainly through speaking, to do some grammar but no literature and to be taught in quite a large group. I also expected some organised (probably boring) afternoon activities. The classes were far better than I expected and even the German school […]
