Sprachart Berlin

My experience wasn't that good. I felt the teacher was not prepared to teach german; the classes weren't structured at all, we just did exercises from the book (which isn't also good); the classes are too full and therefore too noisy. Most of the time we're put in groups to play games/ fun exercises and it ends up being a waste of time, as we go around the room checking what each group learned/sorted out. There's no introduction to grammar, everything is all over and messy. I wouldn't recommend this school.

Two days are enough to know how unorganized they are. From all the photos here show the small group but it can be 17 ppl one day to the other. I guess the teacher is good in small group teaching but not more than 5 people. She is good because always each of us has to make an sample sentence and she correct our mistakes but then imagine she has 17 ppl to correct. Even just 8 takes long. And she was not explaining so much. Maybe she expects we learned already. But if a classmate does not know this grammar, as a teacher you should explain but not force the student to make an example based on a grammar table in the book. Maybe as I joined Goethe for intensive course before. I get used to really intensive learning. But I was with two other regular schools before and I knew the difference. I asked the owner if I can quit and just pay for the week I studied. She said no i have to pay my teacher (this I don't argue so much although I saw some students reserve a course without advance payment) and she said the fee is not expensive so you cannot expect so much. 250€ is not really cheap. It's a big disappointment.
