Learning German in Göttingen

"I'm preparing to do my doctorate in Germany. I'm learning a lot here. The quality of the teachers is outstanding. Outside the lessons there are plenty of materials for independent study such as magazines, listening texts and films. In the leisure-time program I've gotten to know the city quite well and have made friends."

"I remember my first visit to the Goethe-Institut very well. The building is quite impressive, and there is a beautiful park in front of the school. The German courses have plenty of variety, and are ideal preparation for studying in Germany. The leisure-time program also gives me the chance to spend a lot of time with my classmates outside the lessons."

"I'm getting excellent preparation here for my career. All of the staff are very polite and helpful. The library has plenty of material for exam preparation. The cultural and leisure-time program is helpful for getting to know the culture and lots of new people."

"Göttingen is a place where I feel very comfortable. There are lots of friendly people here that you can get to know. The staff at the Goethe-Institut are very accommodating and help in any situation you find yourself in. To thank them, I planted a tree in the institute garden. Perhaps I'll return to Göttingen in a couple of years to see how it's coming along."

"I think that the Goethe-Institut in Göttingen is an excellent place to learn German. Especially in Göttingen there is a balance between leisure and work. I also liked the good ties to the University of Göttingen. Plenty of events, lots of activities in the leisure-time program, lots of fun and of course an excellent learning atmosphere in this old villa. Another very special attraction is the fact that the Nobel laureate James Franck lived right in this house."

"The renowned University of Göttingen gives the city a learned atmosphere. Through the many activities and by talking with students, you can get to know life in Göttingen."

What I like about the lessons above all is that they use different teaching methods and media – In our classes we're learning the language as well as many things about the country and its people through films and excursions and in groupwork."
