Comments of students about their experience at F+U language school

I came to Heidelberg on August 23rd. On that date a wonderful time begun.
My time in Heidelberg was so fantastic, because Heidelberg is so beautiful. You know the song "Ich habe mein Herz in Heidelberg verloren" - I lost my heart in Heidelberg - that's true! Anybody would loose his heart in Heidelberg! There are so many beautiful landscapes, the old town, the old buildings and so many pretty girls!
My time in Heidelberg was so fantastic, because Heidelberg is so friendly. People are always keen to help. Everything was strange to me at the beginning, but I got used to it very quickly!
My time in Heidelberg was so fantastic, because I could improve my German knowledge very fast. I took a course at F+U. It lasted only two months, but I learned a lot! The teachers are very funny, I always had to laugh!
My time in Heidelberg was so fantastic, so that I would have loved to spend more time here! But it is not possible. I have to leave now this beautiful city. So long Heidelberg, Barbara, Teetje and dear Hefeweizen with banana juice! I will miss you!

I came to Heidelberg two months ago and I will stay three months more. I was afraid of this new experience - I never left home. But now I can say that I will never forget it! I am 18 years old and I have learned German for two years. I would like to become an interpreter, therefore I chose to come to Germany. First I chose to stay at a host family, but this was not a good idea; we did not get along with each other and I moved in a student residence, where I am very happy. The atmosphere is comfortable and I have to possibility to meet new friends. Here at F+U there are a lot of French-speaking students. We try not to speak French with each other, but German. Through the school I met a lot of people, the students in the class come from all over the world: Turkey, Spain, Italy etc.. We have to speak German to understand each other. Surely we make mistakes, but we get besser day by day. Also, the school organizes a lot of activities and excursions and we get to know better Heidelberg and surroundings.
I feel like I want to go to the University here in Heidelberg. Maybe I will do this. I like the kind of life here. There is a lot of things you can do everyday.
This will be an unfortgettable experience for the rest of my life!

During August, 6 of our students and me myself visited your school and your beautiful town.
I cannot express all my wonderful impressions.
I simply don't know what to say. The quality and professionalism I experienced in your school was amazing.
In addition, Heidelberg is an unforgettable town and is really very romantic. I enjoyed every day in your beautiful country.
Especailly I was impressed by kindness and culture of German people. I recommend your school every time I talk about my experience with schools abroad. I hope, that next year we will have much more students and that we will improve our cooperation.

Since September 2008 I am in apprenticeship for becoming an European executive secretary. Because I am attending in parallel a special course of studies, which will take me to the graduation “Higher National Diploma”, the apprenticeship is quite sophisticated. I like the way of education very much. Our language teachers are all native speakers, whereby an effectively learning is ensured.

I came to Heidelberg in order to learn German. I am pleased with the language teaching, my teachers and classmates are nice. I like the city of Heidelberg very much. After my training here I want to study political science.

I am learning German as foreign language here at the F&U Heidelberg for about 2 weeks. I like the language teaching, especially the teaching methods. By taking part in the leisure activities I still got to know some places of interest. I like the old part of Heidelberg very much. If later would come the offer to work in Germany, maybe I would like to work here.

I used to study German at a Japanese University but I didn’t manage to learn how to speak right. That’s why I quit my job and come to Germany. I wanted to learn properly to speak German, then I chose to stay at a host family. The family members are really nice, it was the right decision! The teacher in my German course is also very nice, I’m really happy about everything! If one intends to take a German course, I would reccommend him to take part at the leisure activities that the schools organise.

I came to Heidelberg on July 5th with the intention to improve my German skills. I have to speak German well, because my boss is German and I work with him everyday. Unfortunately I had to stay only one week. In Heidelberg I went for long walks through the main street with its diverse shops and restaurants and the old town, I visited the castle and its garden (I like it very much!) and the Old Bridge. I really love Heidelberg. The school was also excellent, the teacher was very nice and worked professionally and this was very important in learning German. Only the weather was bad, but in all in all I really enjoyed my staying in Heidelberg

I spent a wonderful time here! I learned a lot of German, met a lot of people and had a lot of fun! My teacher was very nice, each lesson was interesting. The books are good and my schoolmates nice. My host family was friendly, my host mother cooked tasty meals and spoke to me a lot. The free-time activities at school took place every day and were very lively, I had something to do every day. Heidelberg is a beautiful city and I am really grateful that I could spend here 4 months. I hope to come back soon!

It is summer again and I am again in Germany. This time I chose Heidelberg. The Old Town is very nice, I love to go walking along the Neckar. Of course I have also visited the castle, which is stunning! I am also so happy that my German course is very good and that my teacher is nice and patient! I met plenty of new friends here. In our class we do not only make excercises, but we also have a lot of fun and no stress! I have learned German here only one and a half month, but I have the feeling that my German has never been so good. I have to thank my teacher. I intend to start the university in Hamburg. Everybody has a dream, I have one too. I hope to study in Germany and work a little bit here, and the go back to China and maybe work there for a German company.

Before I came to Heidelberg I had only bad experiences with German. My goal was to start over. Of course I also hoped to improve my German. Since I have reached Heidelberg I have only met nice people. First of all my host family. My host mother and I got along very well. She has made a lot of things with me, even if she did not have to. She dedicated a lot of time to me and took care of me, almost like a daughter! I felt at home with her. I also feared the lessons. I took the test and they placed me in level B2, which made me shiver. But fortunately I had a wonderful teacher. We worked without stress in the classroom, even though we learned a lot! I was surprised, how funny it is to learn German!
