I passed the ZOP - Zentrale Oberstufenpruefung at the Goethe Institut with grade excellent and currently I am studying for GDS - Grosses Deutsches Sprachdiplom - Level of a native speaker. I have passed two State Examinations in English as well and therefore I do not have any problems in both of the two languages.

The better way yo learn the language is speaking about whatever with the local students. I have many friends there, so I get to improve my language skills.
