Their names are Dani and Alexandra. They are nice and friendly. When we have a question or a problem, they are always there for us. They organise many activities for us. It is always very funny. In the mornings, we have two teachers (one from 9 to 10.30am and another one from 11am to 12.30pm) and in the afternoons we have only one teacher. The teachers are very competent, helpful, etc. The lessons are always interesting and we never do the same thing twice. When we have questions, the teachers give us examples until we understand. There are classes in the mornings and in the afternoons. In the mornings, we study in groups while in the afternoons, we have private courses. During private courses, you can learn more effectively because you’re alone with the teacher and you can choose what you want to study. In the mornings, it is also interesting to study in groups because you can exchange ideas with the others and learn vocabulary, grammar, etc.
On the first day, we are given an exercise & grammar book and a folder. In class, the teachers also give us sheets of paper with exercises or grammar points which are not included in the book. The book is very good: there is a course section, an exercise book and a grammar section. Treffpunkt organises activities every week. We receive the activities programme for the whole week on Mondays. On Mondays, for instance, we eat, go hiking or visit a place together, etc. At the weekend, there is always something to do. You are never alone. It’s good because it is a bit difficult at first when you don’t know anyone. It gives you an opportunity to make new friends quickly. And on Thursdays, there’s the Stammtisch : it is my favourite activity. The students, a few teachers, the host families and friends from the school gather in a bar to drink beer, eat or simply chat. It is very nice. You can also improve your German that way. You laugh a lot, take pictures, etc. Every Friday, a departure party is organised for students who are going back home. They receive a certificate and a pen. Dani and Alexandra take lots of pictures. It’s really cool. I think the Treffpunkt school is great and I am very satisfied with my course.
