Learning German in Bonn

"My greatest wish is to study music in Germany. That's why I came to Bonn, Beethoven's city. Everything I've experienced at the Goethe-Institut Bonn has been great The teachers are excellent and I've learned a lot. There's also a piano there and I've even given a concert. In the evenings I often play the piano or do something with the other students."

"After half a year as an au pair girl in Düsseldorf I knew I wanted to remain longer in Germany and to learn the German language better. After attending two other language schools in Bonn I finally ended up at the Goethe-Institut. Now I've been here for six months. I feel very much at home and have learned a lot. In September I'm going to start studying in Germany."

"What I like most about Bonn is the very international atmosphere mixed with a lot of natural scenery. The city itself offers plenty of culture and the Goethe-Institut does its part to make sure that you can make use of this. The Goethe-Institut Bonn was highly recommended to me by the GI Palma. They said it was a somewhat smaller institute and really maintains close contacts with the students. That's another reason why I feel very good here."

"When I arrived here in Gemany I felt a little lost because of the different language, the different culture and the completely different way of thinking. But here at the Goethe-Institut I received a very warm and hearty welcome. The three young men doing their community service and the teachers do all they can to make me feel comfortable here even though it's still very different and sometimes disconcerting compared to Mexico."

"I'm amazed at how much I've already learned in such a short time. Our lessons cover a lot of different areas and our teacher's practical experience as a lawyer is very helpful."

"The course for lawyers at the Goethe-Institut Bonn is a wonderful opportunity for me to gain an overview of the German legal system in just two weeks. The extremely warm welcome also went a long way to helping me feel very much at home here."

"When I arrived here a month ago I didn't speak any German at all. Now I can converse quite well. My company was right in choosing the Goethe-Institut for me. I'm very satisfied with my teacher and the way she teaches, and have learned a lot in a short time. I also really like the area around the institute. It's very quiet and there are a lot of parks for relaxation."
