I liked the lessons because in the class there are only students who want to learn the language. With this I was able to concentrate very well in the class and I learned a lot in Alpadia.
Insider tip: Try to talk to as many Germans as possible. When you do, try even to talk with other people in German. There are many types of cultures and not everybody can speak your language, but you are sure that everybody knows a minimum German.

Other comments I didn't like when my lessons were changed and placed in the afternoon because I wasn't able to visit the museums of Berlin and also to spend time with my new friends whose lessons were in the morning.

Insider tip: You can always self decide which group you'd rather belong to, the placement test doesn't always reflect your language skils. Sometimes the school places you in another group, just because the right one is full at the moment.
