Comments on the courses
Vielen Dank für den tollen Online-Sprachkurs. Besonders möchte ich Frau Oksana Lustenhouwer loben, die den Unterricht hervorragend gestaltet hat. Der Kurs hat mir sehr gut gefallen, und ich würde gerne an einem weiteren teilnehmen.
Felipe Mejía Medina, M.Sc. – Colombia
Meine Erwartungen an den Sprachkurs wurden bei weitem übertroffen. Ich habe durch die Teilnahme nicht nur mein Englisch verbessert, sondern auch mehr Selbstvertrauen in meine Ausdrucksfähigkeit in englischsprachigen Kontexten wie z.B. Konferenzen und Netzwerken gewonnen. Ich kann den Kurs jeder Person empfehlen, die ihre Sprachkenntnisse in einem professionellen Umfeld verbessern möchte.
Iris Teicher, M.A.
The time frame was very nice and I could easily follow the schedule throughout the semester. I had a pleasant experience in class, as we all had a nice connection. My instructor was really great, keeping us occupied and motivated. I was positively surprised by the effort she did to make us talk to each other in German from Day 1 with arranging small talks and breakout sessions. That was really helpful because the most difficult part for me in learning a foreign language is speaking, and it was a nice surprise because I did not expect it from an online course especially at this level.

Insgesamt kann ich nur ein ganz großes Lob aussprechen für das Format und die tolle Durchführung dieses Online-Kurses. Ich kann diesen Kurs uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.
