Overall
Language of instruction: German
Was learning German a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my German
How much did you improve your German?
My level before: Basic phrases
My level after: At ease in most situations
Personal comments:
I went to the Heinrich Heine Universität in Düsseldorf to take the intensive German course. I couldn't help speaking English with my friends, but sometimes they were hard on me forcing me to speak German. This was vey helpful. I think the best way to learn a language, better than taking a class, is to talk, listen to the TV, Radio, reading books and interact with the language, classes are not as helpful.
